Srapbooking Weekend

ON the 3-5th we headed up to Sundre for our annual scrapbooking retreat.  Its always a fun time and somewhat productive as well.  This year I was so behind I don't even know where I was so I figured I would just start with the beginning of 2016.  Of course had no pics printed but luckily Walmart online is back up and running.  So I used that and it worked really well.  Armed with 500 pictures I was ready to go.

I never did finish them all like I was hoping :(  But got about half of them, a couple months worth.  Its fun looking back on the memories we made.Now I'm trying to go through the rest of the year and finish up printing them so I am ready next time.  There was 9 of us this year was a nice amount.  And back to Rustlers who have such great food and so much of it!  And the pool and hot tub are a great reason to go there.  And nothing like eating around the pool.

They had a sewer back up last fall and because its a bed and breakfast that means they had to throw out everything.  They have got it back to its framed in walls now but what a pain.  We like going there best cause they have everything under one roof.  And large windows around the conference room that we could watch the snow fall on the pines, so pretty.

(I got to share a room with my great aunt nice cause we don't see her often. 

 I warned her about the pic ans she was fine with it :))

I took a long time to post cause I ended up with a chlorine burn and a few others did too, nothing major just felt like an itchy sunburn but we figured she should know first.  She was pretty concerned and had the pool guys out to make sure everything was OK and it is now.  Even went swimming last Tuesday and it didn't bother me except just getting in the hot tub but I'm good now.

Scrapbooking Weekend

On Thursday night I headed to Olds after feeding my ponies at Jardi's.  Charlene had a lesson on the flag and so I never rode cause I wasn't having a lesson.  We stopped for supper at the Chinese food place with Jardi and had a nice good visit.  I kept going to my Moms and stayed there overnight.  In the morning we went out to Sundre to a place called Diamond Buffalo Guest Ranch where we spent the weekend.

It sure is a pretty place out there.  They have their own private lake, and the big lodge building and bunkhouses a little farther away.

 In the lodge they have a restaurant/lounge and they serve meals on Thursdays to Sundays.  On Friday and Saturday night they had a blues band in there, that was different. I don't listen to a lot of blues, but kinda nice for a while.

We had our own room set up in the basement and it was pretty nice big room.  There was lots of tables down there for us so we could spread our stuff out really well.  In the next room there were chairs and couches if we wanted, but we didn't spend much time there.

It was my mom and my weekend we usually spend together, but we invited Stacey along as well cause she really wanted to get a bunch of stuff done.  It was so much fun.   I worked on my regular album, getting caught up and I finally finished 2010.  I was gonna start on the cruise we took in February, but I had printed mine and my sisters pictures but never got my moms pictures printed, so I didn't want to start and then find out I had more good pics I wanted to get put in.

So I continued on into 2011, and sure some good memories of clinics and cutting we went to up at Vic's last winter.  But I sure hope we don't get as much snow as last year, it was ridiculous!!  I sure wont have a problem using up all the snow stickers I have. 

It sure is easy looking back and finding out dates on stuff when I have my blog.  I kinda think its silly to have both cause I could just print out my blog and its almost the same.  But I sure like the dimensions and backgrounds and stickers and stuff that we put in our scrap booking albums.
