My not-so-secret addiction...

My dear friend Larissa Dunlop (who is also my husband's aunty) is due to have a baby boy in 3 weeks time and she wanted to get some serious scrapbooking done before the baby comes.  Actually, we were looking for any old excuse to get together and devote an entire weekend (minus the Sabbath) to a creative weekend of indulging our passion.  The weekend almost didn't happen, with a scare from her end but all is well and we were thrilled to go ahead with it.
We LOVE to scrapbook and we have formed a firm friendship since I joined her family 7 and 1/2 years ago.  It was a delightful weekend and I felt privileged to be sharing her last moments before baby #2 arrives.  She is a very special woman and inspires me daily.  
I had a goal of 8 layouts for the weekend and completed 6 and sketched 1 so not too shabby!  We had burgers at Grill'd on Friday night then a cafe breakfast Saturday morning in the swish end of the Valley.  There was laughter, scrapping, fine foods and drinks and wonderful memories made!
Thanks to a wonderful husband and fabulous in-laws who helped looked after the boys so I could have this experience.  I think I truly am spoilt....

Anyways - here's what I did this weekend.

Fantastic work Bev. You are very talented and creative. Hope you will share them with us all at the week-end. How about a few lessons for your envious Mum!

I love love love scrapbooking too and am nowhere near as good as you as I have only really just begun. Love the layouts! Where do you get ideas when you run out? At the moment I am just generating the same old thing - yawn ...
Do you have separate albums for each child or do you just do family albums?
