I am home....

From the Keys for Art Retreat at my friend Elena's place in Key Largo, Florida. I arrived home happy, tired and exhausted.  I think toothpicks were holding my eyes open last night.  Once the girls were in bed sleeping, I was on my way as well.  It sure felt good to be back in my bed.

I couldn't have had a more wonderful 40th birthday than what I did with these wonderful people.  Thank you all so very much. Mwah.

I left Australia with just over $500 and came hone with 9cents.  And a used visa card LOL.

It was great to be able to meet almost everyone that is in our journal groups.  We have been together as a group now for about 4 years ever since Elena came up with that first idea and we were all hooked.

Here are a few of my photos from the first day. 

Daisy, Jen, Gina and Marita getting into Karaoke........
Julie Nutting and Ingrid Dijkers - two of our wonderful tutors
Elena and Tracy..... now has Elena 'crossed over'??

That is a few photos for now, I will post more later.

Now to get back to normal - post retreat life.   So not fair.


Till Next Time

Hi Sarah,
So glad we met at The Keys 4 ART 2011 in Key Largo. Yes, it is so wonderful that after years of mailing art projects back and forth, many of us could retreat together!!!! Helping you turn 40 in the US was great fun! Keep blogging and catch up with your rest!
