Autumn Escape 2013

Image
Oh my gosh, what a weekend! the girls (Shell's, Fiona, Sarah and Kimberley) and I went off to Wairakei for the Autumn Escape .  A 'Girls retreat' and what a threat it was.   This was the first I had attended (and definitely not the last).  Organised by the ever so wonderful Lucy and Nic .   When we first walked in it was like we had gate crashed a wedding.   The main crop room was filled with more than 30 tables covered with white table cloths, each table had an autumn centre piece made from a tree trunk platter, with candles beautifully decorated with autumn leaves and a scattering of autumn seeds.   At each table, for each attendee,  was a pizza box full of papers and embellishments.  Yes, and this was only the first 5 minutes.  Low and behold I turn around and there is Candy station, yes 'a Candy Station, jars fill of different candies.  and yes, there was a dish on each table that you could fill as required from the candy jars a the candy station.

Yes,  Secret Squirrel Papercraft just had their crop and here is one of the off the page projects, inspired by Steph, that I completed.  The base box is from Tattered Angels.     I made the box so it could be stood in a bookshelve.  I will section the inner draw so the boys can place  treasures in their from our travels.
