MARVELOUS MONDAY (EDITED)

The National Scrapbook Day Flamingo Funnies Retreat is just three days away.  I am so looking forward to this retreat and have been getting things ready.  This year I'm bringing photos to the retreat to put in and on my projects.  I want to go home with some projects complete with photos.  I've been going through photos, sorting, and getting them ready to take to the retreat. 

Denise Case's precious granddaughter found some of our flamingos at Disney World this past week.  She told them to hurry to Texas for the big retreat with her Nana!

To further help us get ready for the retreat, I thought I would give you the run-down on what you will need for the classes.  For the inclusive classes you will need the following items in addition to your basic tool kit.
