That’s when I take a vacation from blogging. But do not fear, it will only be for three days. Yes, I get to escape the rigmarole of a homeschool mom and venture up to high country where the air is cool… for a SCRAPBOOKING retreat! Itsda BEEEEST! (That’s from Nacho Libre, in case you haven’t seen it yet.)
I was apprehensive about going because I don’t get cell reception where we stay… and this IS September… the month we are getting our adoption referral call. But I was informed a week ago that we had not been matched at that point, so the call will be after the 16th. Relief! I can scrap worry-free! (Relatively speaking.)
These retreats come twice a year, and with my current lifestyle and schedule, it is the only scrapping I get done any more. So, I knew I would want a lovely scrapbook of Colombia to share with everyone, but we obviously don’t have the pictures yet. That’s ok. I’m putting together all the pages now and then I can slap the pictures in when we return. Muy bueno!
Upon dragging out my supplies and tools (and dusting them off) I realized I still have not finished out scrapbook of our 2007 trip back East. There are only 3 or 4 more double page spreads and I’m done. So that is going too.
Enjoy the weekend! I know I will.

Enjoy your retreat break. I am sure that you earned it as a homeschool mom.
