Scrapbook retreat in the bushveld

What's not to love - a bushveld getaway plus scrapbooking.  I arranged a scrapbooking retreat for 9 ladies to Zaagkuilsdrift Lodge last weekend and it was heavenly.  The food was excellent, the weather was perfect and the company was outstanding.  I definitely scrapbooked a lot slower than usual because of all the chats and idea sharing...I loved it!

Meet Elvis, a hand-reared kudu bull.  Soon after birth, he got stuck in deep mud so his mom was forced to abandon him.  He now lives in the bird sanctuary

I got home on Sunday afternoon totally exhausted but very happy. 

Must do this again soon.
