Thank you to my family for all the help! Thank you to my wonderful husband for helping me make this retreat possible!  Thank You to Chris my sister for helping me survive buying 3 grocery carts full of groceries in the busiest Wal-Mart I have ever seen!  Thanks to my 2 little boys, who are the reason Shabby Lane Shops is what it is!



We missed a few ladies that registered and were unable to attend due to illness & car troubles,  but we will see Georgia of Grandma G's,  Annieg of Annieg Aprons & Bags, Char of Someplace in Thyme & Janet of Graceful Rose next time!
