Monday Sketch-a-roni

Today's sketch is inspired by my swap card from this past weekend. I made one to trade with each of the angels who joined me for our Oz-some Weekend! If you have a chance to play with the sketch be sure to add your linky and link back to here so we can all see the different ideas shared.

I cannot say enough about this past weekend - it was the best to date I think!   We go out to Living Water Ranch in Olsburg Kansas.  let me tell you the road to this place is scary in spots - but once you get there it is SO worth it!  It is a Christian retreat center and the couple who own and run it are just wonderful!  We had our normal building for the weekend - which includes a dorm for 50 and 4 private rooms.  We also had a few stay in other cabins too. 

We had a card swap, we each brought a "shoebox project" for everyone to make, product challenges, image challenges, contest for cards, scrapbook page and a 3D item, LOADS of prizes and LOADS of creativity shared. 

 One of the funniest things from the weekend were our picket signs.  We have a tradition on our team at meetings and gatherings etc to call people out when they are talking bad about themselves or diminishing their talents.  We call that inner voice "Towanda".   You know when some one compliments you and you down play it instead of standing proud and accepting the compliment.   So we had picket signs for when we heard someone being Towanda - we would all grab a sign and wave it and chant 'Down with Towanda".  It was Hilarious!  We had other signs with other things on them too like "How cute is that!"  and "True THAT Sista!"

Little sleep was had - Lots of laughs.  All in all a FANTASTICAL weekend! 

The kids are off to school today  - ah the silence!!!    I have LOTS of prep to do this week for my upcoming crop in Park City(near Wichita) this weekend - Crop-a-Ganza!  I am planning a few classes - to include a Savvy keychain, Double Flip Album and hopefully a Scrap-Tastic layout and cards class!  Lots to do and pack and oh goodness - I gotta get to work!
