grandma's redbirds

 

Two weeks ago after purging tons or so it felt, this is some of the stuff that I took to Waxahatchie for the Hoarders purge sale at the Crafty Scrapper . Did ell only about 20 items were left and I donated them.

This weekend I got to go to a wonderful Retreat with some friends (20)!

It was at a great place in Weatherford call the covered Bridge inn! Think I gained 50 pounds on Pat the owners wonderful meals!

While there tried to get caught up on some challenges and this was going to be a full pictorial of the whole process and Blogger is not co operating in letting me down load them so here is basic that got loaded after 4 hours I only thought I was going to bed early...LOL after only 4 hours of sleep last night! My eyes are really red!
