Live the Life You've Imagined

Thought I would share my canvas here on the Retreat blog with you all.  Don't forget to follow the advice where you can - "Live the Life You've Imagined"

What we Love

Ok, so we have been MIA for quite a while now.  As many of you already know, Georgina and I both have busy little families that keep us busy most of the time.  Georgina has three gorgeous boys and a beautiful daughter and I have three lovely boys of my own that keep my feet running.  But 2013 is a year for us to be present here on our blog and we thought that there is no better way than to bring you posts about things we love.

Those of you that have attended our Retreats know that we love to SPOIL everyone with goodies all through the weekend and we are always excited to find new and fun ideas on Pinterest.  And if I knew how to put something on here so that you could follow us on Pinterest......then I would.  Sigh!  Not that savvy when it comes to things like that, maybe it's something I should look into.  Alternatively you can search "Georgina Martin"and "Alexandrea Hughes"and you should find us.

Today I want to share with you with you something I have pinned - a link to the Aussie Scrap Source blog where there are a ton of ideas on how to use a Smash Journal.  I love the Smash Journals by K & Co and have a couple on the go at the moment.  But I love the samples you can see over at ASS blog, so INSPIRING.  So go check them out, here are some images from there.

We will be back to share more fun things with you very soon.  At the moment we are busy planning our classes and gifts for April 2013.  Details are below if you would like to join us, we still have a few spots left.

Cheers
