What a wonderful weekend

What a wonderful weekend. I can't quit smiling as I think of all those special moments. I was so lucky to attend my second Kim C event "Joyeux Affaire" this past weekend. Kim's events are like Christmas. The build up and the anticipation and then the day arrives and you open the greatest gift ever. Kim oversees each and every detail. Everything from food, decor, gifts and instructors is fine tuned. She assures that each of us have a great day and we are spoiled beyond belief.
So Friday morning Kim H, Colleen and I packed Kim's SUV to the max and headed to Cali. What a fun road trip. We had so much catching up to do and Colleen was quite the expert at signing with her white gloves. Kim and I cracked up as she waved and signed her displeasure with some of the drivers. Needless to say we got some strange looks.
One of the fun cars that we passed was the Oscar Meyer weinermobile. I tried to get some pics as we drove by




Saturday was the much anticipated day. We were in awe when we walked in to a Christmas wonderland. The tables were beautiful and the goodie bags, were unbelievable.




Kim's beautiful dress form

My table mates

Our vendors set up. All of them had beautiful displays to help entice us to shop and we all did

Lunch boxes all lined up

Swapping our ornaments

All the ornaments from the swap I joined on my little tree. They were all beautiful

I have so many pics but will upload them to my flickr in the next few days.
We left Sun early afternoon and somehow we seemed to have more bags coming back hmmm not sure how that happened:) The trip home was as entertaining as going. I think we are now familiar with where the cheapest gas is, where the best eats are and where the most horrible rest stop restrooms are. Believe me we saw them!!
I will post more later off to bed. Somehow sleep was not a priority and we well Kim and I seemed to chat quite late while Ms Colleen slept!

The Stockings Were Hung

Image
I hosted a small group for a Christmas Stocking Swap. I kept the group small due to my time and work constraints and deadlines I was facing. My idea for the swap came from a wonderful online class I took with Nancy Maxwell James of Sugar Lump Studios . I really enjoyed her class and all her helpful tips and so the idea was born. I assigned secret partners, to each of the members as well as a Dec 10th deadline. Christine suggested we all wait and open our boxes on the same day. So today is the reveal. The stocking are gorgeous and it has been fun as the photos came in to see how each of us interpreted the theme. We designed and filled our stockings with goodies and then mailed to our partner. Below are the photos of our stockings and a little thank you I sent to each of the gals. The stockings are in no particular order just how they came up on the computer. I am already thinking of next year :) and what we could do and to being more organized time wise so I can invite more ga

Today: Chaos, Cooking, Cleaning and Creating

Image
What a day. I think I put the "Labor" into Labor Day. After yesterday, where I basically sat all day I needed to get going. And get going I did. From laundry to cleaning to grocery shopping to creating I have had a busy day. I have decided that what I eat sucks. I rarely cook a good meal and then at bedtime I am back to starving. So in my great wisdom I decided I needed to get with it and start fixing better meals for myself. Cooking for 1 is not the most inspiring thing. I am so used to cooking for larger groups and I tend to make too much. any how armed with a list for the grocery store and determination I headed out. I shopped and shopped, loaded all the groceries into the car and unloaded all the groceries from the car when I got home. From there it was a whirlwind of mixing and making my meals for the week. But let's be honest I probably made enough for 2 weeks plus. Groceries waiting to be put away and made into meals It only took about 30 minutes to whip this all t
