Since Ali and I spent a week scrapbooking at the Convent a few years ago we have been looking for another time where we could spend longer than a weekend scrapbooking. This weekend presented the perfect opportunity!!! Thursday was a holiday so I took Friday off and today was also a holiday.
28 April: I packed my car this morning and managed to get everything safely in the boot. I had to do some bills quickly before I left and drove through to Ali a bit later than I would have liked to but got to her at 08h30 due to the traffic thankfully being very quiet.
We did a quick catch-up over a cuppa coffee, I unpacked all my stuff and set up my work area and we were up and at it.
We went across the road to Urban Angel for a quick lunch and then back to Ali's place to scrap until dinner where we had soup which my Mom had made and delicious toast. I scrapped until around 1am.
29 April: This morning by the time Leonie joined us I had already completed a double layout. I had done some work setting it up last night so it went super quickly this morning. We had a wonderful time catching up and a delicious breakfast and then dove straight back into our scrapping. We popped out to Lifestyle for lunch and I had a delicious bobootie pie. Dinner was soup again and we scrapped late into the night again.
30 April: Ali made us another scrumptious breakfast and we scrapped until lunch time where we had a stunning pumpkin pie made by Ali and Simply Asia take-away. Ali also made us a freezo-chino which was delicious. Leonie unfortunately left us this afternoon as she has things to take care of tomorrow. We continue scrapping until much later.
1 May: This morning I did the last page of the formal wedding album and then started sorting my stuff out so that when I get home I can just pack everything away. I cannot believe how quickly these 4 days have passed by but I am VERY happy with how much I have gotten done.
Each time I took a photo of one of my pages I had a precious little "quality surveyor" checking out the pages!!!

I have not posted any photos of the pages I have done as I want Jo and Scott to receive the album first and then I will share all the pages. I have however been teasing her with little snippets of pages ...
I love this quote from The Little Mermaid |
Hand stitching on this page |
The stamping on this page looks like it is part of the page
Some more "old technology" on these two pages where I used paint and large letter stamps.
OK ... so here is one page to tempt you!!!! |
Oh we are blessed!! It is beautiful!! We are so excited!!! You are so clever and so talented!! Love you
