LSBS Retreat 2013

yep Another retreat .

:):):)

this one is a bit special , because its the final retreat with Cath as owner :(:(

and sharing a few precious days with my wonderful friend Zane , 

doubled its specialness(is that word ?)

spell check says no lol...

but i digress , spending time with friends from previous years and 

getting to know new scrap sistas' is always a bonus for me ..because i'm a people person .

Plus sharing my passion of happy scrappin-my sort of scrappin- whilst doing a freestyle class, 

another added arty bonus. 

I did unfortunately have to leave a day early.

Due to my work commitments and beginning a 18 day straight work block .

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

i'm at day 6 today ....only 12 to go ..

not much scrapping time ahead , but today the table is clear and i need a little arty release .

Too Many Photos

I need some new photos,

Weird, because i have boxes of pix ready to go .

But new pix......oh how they inspire the scrapper .

Three retreats coming up over the next month

(yes, totally self indulgent of me )

and nothing new, cause i havent had my camera out , 

with work and kids who now take their own pic i don't have anything fresh.

Best i been hauling thru the boxes of photos 

to find some inspiration to take away with me. 

or i'll be on the hunt for other peoples pix to scrap

 this pix is almost 3 yrs old, i don't think i had scrapped it before 

 oh i just love the life in this photo

 Two of the worlds' top downhill skaters prior to racing .

friendship / sportsmanship rolled into one 

 speaking of other peoples photos

i have an old friend who works as a paparazzi

He shoots everything from mega movie stars like Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman 

whenever they are in town, fashion week, and touring rockers and music events

.Sometimes he shares some of his shots with me , 

a few months ago he sent me some pix of the Stone Music Festival in Sydney.

Van Halen, Aerosmith , ... and these pix from a band called BuckCherry..

just on the quiet , this independant music lover has NO idea who they are,

 but hmmm to these awesome shots of Josh Todd.

definitely scrapable shots ...Thanks Maka xx
