Back from the Retreat

As I mentioned in my previous post, I went to a Scrapbook Retreat for the weekend.  The Retreat was held at Camp Dogwood in NC.  We headed out on Thursday morning....we had a great time and I got so much accomplished.  I got home from the Retreat on Sunday afternoon - had 4 day mini-vacation (so relaxing) of doing nothing but scrapbooking.  :-) 

Quick update...

So, it's been a bit since I've posted any updates and/or projects.  Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to craft during the past few weeks and also haven't had my crafting mojo.  It better come back by tomorrow though as I'm heading to a scrap retreat.  The retreat is from noon Thursday until 3 pm Sunday.  I'm so excited and looking forward to hanging out with everyone.

Tonight will be spent organizing and packing up all of the supplies that I will need to take with me.  I'm hoping to be able to finish up the wedding album I've been working on for dear friends of ours.  I had intended the album to be a Christmas present last Christmas - they got married in Oct - but it has taken a bit longer than intended.

I've been thoroughly enjoying the nice spring weather and hope you are as well.  It's supposed to rain this weekend (Fri & Sun, at least) here....so it will definitely be good to stay in and get some crafting done.

New Cartridges Announced

Well, yesterday was "Hello Thursday" and ProvoCraft announced 10 new cricut cartridges.  A listing of the 10 new cartridges is below - the Cake Basics cart will be included as part of the Cricut Cake machine.  It appears all will be released in mid-April; however, I've read several posts on the Cricut message boards that members have found the Robotz cartridge at some Meier's stores.  (Unfortunately, I don't have a Meier's store in NC.)

For some cool projects using the new cartridges check out the following blogs:

• My Pink Stamper
• Obsessed with Scrapbooking
• Courtney Lane Designs

PC also announced that "Stamped" and "Tags, Bags, Boxes & More" will be going away.  So, if you don't have these 2 cartridges and want them, you need to go ahead and get them now.

I really need to find a way to stop my addiction (to buying new carts) and to support my hobby (since I know I can't stop the addiction). :)  My favorites of the new cartridges are definitely the Create A Critter and Robotz.  Which new cartridge(s) is your favorite?

A few changes.....

I'm in the mood to change my blog around a bit....wanted to go ahead and forewarn everyone in case you stop by and visit in the midst of the changes. :-)

Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend!  The weather is beautiful here and it is supposed to be near 60 tomorrow - soooo excited!! I'm definitely ready for Spring!

Hugs,
