Bertram Weekend

How lucky am I to spend another weekend at the Bertram Crop. The anticipation of the event is like counting down to a vacation and just like a vacation, its over before you know it and the countdown begins again for another year!

A weekend to be creative, silly and social with a great group of women. Time to catch up on each others lives, on our scrapbook pages, and do what we do best, celebrate each other. 

Inspiration is all around, and this year inspiration sat right next to me with Jamie Pate!  Oh my goodness, I was so glad I took her class, as well as got to watch her work on several projects from Spark!  Many thoughts spinning through my head from all I learned!

Every day there is something special at your seat, the first day these adorable owls filled with Reese's cups, the second day a gorgeous, giant, chocolate leaf! And then the trail mix Deb and I made was passed out on the last day...

The food... always amazing! Including the ice cream bar and candy bar!

Hanging out with my friends is a huge part of the weekend, sharing thoughts, ideas and just plain laughter is what makes it so special

trying to get a picture with Amy and Jen, but Jen kept disappearing!

love the relationship I share with both my sister and my cousin... feeling blessed!

sisters...need I say more?

these two crack me up during and after all the classes

Feeling so thankful for having this opportunity, knowing these girls and spending this creative time away.  Who knew that years ago when I went out of my comfort zone and drove to a scrapbook store to meet Becky Higgins, I would end up with this amazing group of friends!

Now its time for me to unpack what I've made, and keep the creativity going through the holidays!

Can't wait to share my projects!
