Hello everyone
Just a quick post for the ladies at the Kilcoy Retreat who indicated that they would like the recipe for the yummy apricot rolls that we had.....well here it is....

18 malt biscuits finely crushed

1/2 x 395 g can condensed milk

55 g chopped almonds

18 pink marshmallows  cut into quarters

55 g dried apricots chopped

110 g glace cherries chopped

55 g raisins, chopped

desiccated coconut to coat.

Combine crushed malt biscuits with condensed milk, almonds, marshmallows, dried apricots, cherries and raisins. Shape the mixture into a sausage shape, then roll in coconut to coat.  Slice once set.   Makes 36-40 

Enjoy!!

Fantastic Kilcoy Retreat!!

Hello everyone
Things have finally settled down after the retreat - it's been a bit hectic with life in general and then hubby and I getting a bit of a lurgy, but we are coming good now thank goodness.

I thought I would share some photos of our great weekend at Kilcoy at the beginning of the month.  We all had a great time....lot of laughs, good food and great scrapping.  

The ladies all did a fantastic job with the challenges and looking back at some of the photos that I took of them, I can't believe some of the work that has gone into them - we have some very creative scrappers out there and I'm so pleased to be a part of it all and even more pleased to be able to share the weekend with you all.

Our Aussie Theme night was a hit - we had a great time...some of the costumes were fabulous....I don't think I have laughed so much and our spirited rendition of Advance Australia Fair topped off the night!!

I will update the website with some more photos, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy looking at these great memories of the weekend:-
