Cards, Cards, Cards
Hooray, it is finally the weekend! Are you as glad as I am? Whew.
A few days ago I promised to tell you where I had been... well, I was busy making all the cards below at my first ever scrapbook / stamp retreat! I sure hope my Hero Arts Flickr friends are sitting down, because someone very near and dear to our hearts was there as a guest, too! Are you guessing? More on that in a moment...
Here are some of the cards I made while I was gone; I will try to add more details later but there is currently a line for this computer. Many of these cards will be going to the Cards for Kids Card Drive (a possible clue?). I sure hope you will send in some cards as well. I heard there is a need for more boy cards, so please keep that in mind.
Ok, I guess that is enough suspense. It was the lovely, talented, and generous Jennifer McGuire! She was busy making projects for the Craft & Hobby Association show. During the weekend Jennifer told some funny (odd?) stories from her former life as an engineer. I also met other sweet and talented ladies there including Jana and Sandi. Jana posted a few pictures on one of her blogs here (if you look closely you can see the back of my head -- lovely), here, and here (my favorite, but I wasn't there in time for that!).
Fun weekend. I packed WAY too much stuff and I don't think I will ever outgrow feeling like a shy (reserved?) little kid in social situations, but I am so glad I went. I was also very glad to come home to my hubby and two kitties on Sunday. :)
In other news, I was the lucky winner of Anne's Horder's Challenge! Anne is sending me a perfectly distressed ATC and generously donating $25 in my name to Doctors Without Borders, USA to benefit Haiti. Thanks so much, Anne!
Thanks for looking! Comments are appreciated!

P.S. Have a wonderful weekend!

I had a blast with you last weekend. I can not wait to go again. We always have a blast at this retreat. They always take such good care of us.
Your cards are so pretty. I was so thrilled to be sitting across from you at the retreat seeing all the great cards you were making. I loved the early morning hours we spent talking and stamping together.
After returning home I found the flowers that go with the mask I gave you. If you send me your address I will mail them to you soon. Sorry I got busy talking and forgot to pull them out for you.
Blessings to you:)
