Scrap booking weekend.

March 13-14-15 was the annual Spring Fling Scrapbook Retreat planned by Back Roads Plum Crazy Scrapbooking shop. They plan one for Spring and Fall. It is 3 days of fun and learning and food, with comfy beds.. all at the Dairy Barn Bed and Breakfast. As proprieter of the Bed and Breakfast, I get to clean and cook. I LOVE to scrap book and make cards, but did not get to cut or paste paper on that weekend.
Lisa brought her new Cricut so Donya and Michelle could give her instructions on operating it.

Michelle gave Jo some pointers and techniques for her scrap book page. Jo completed that scrap book at the retreat.
There are 8 guest rooms at the Barn, and all were filled except 1. The Back Roads girls had make and takes as well as some technique classes. Judging from the laughter I could hear from the kitchen while I did the dishes (poor abused little me) everyone had a great time.

Donya is a semi-famous cupcake baker. You can always count on the cupcakes to have an exotic filling of some sort. She made 2 varieties for the Sunday brunch, one raspberry filled and the other was chocolate/peanut butter. I forgot to take a picture until they were almost gone. The pie is Key Lime Pie, made with key lime juice from
'Robert is Here', a fruit stand I visit every year at Homestead Florida. There was much more on the brunch table then just dessert.

The cat standing guard over the vittles is a flat piece of wood painted by an artist that lives in Waverly Iowa. She signed it 'Miller' She does a fantastic job painting animals on wood. I would like to meet her someday.

The girls from Back Roads Plum Crazy Scrapbooking are already working on the Fall retreat that will be in October.
