Day 2 in Wonderland

Day two of Alice was just as magical as day one. We thought we had seen it all but Kim had many more surprises up her sleeves for the group. When we walked into the room Saturday am we were shocked to see that the room had been transformed beautifully with round tables. The center pieces were so pretty. At each place was our name tags and an Alice bag filled with wonderful goodies from generous sponsors.
Breakfast was served which was yummy with fresh fruits, mini muffins, croissants, and fresh coffee, tea and juices. The best way to start the day.

Our day started with Jamie's class a Drink Me Bottle. We had so much fun embellishing our bottles. Lots of laughter as Earleen personalized her rabbit with earrings! He was pretty cute.

Following a delicious lunch Christine taught her Mad Hatters Hat. Again lots of laughter and fun decorating our hats. I am still working on mine so pics later.

Throughout the day wonderful giveaways were presented to lucky ladies.

After our last class we had our swap exchanges. Cheryl hosted the Fat Book Swap and Rebecca the Pack of cards swap. Both were so much fun to participate in and receive.

And to end our wonderful day the most beautiful beautiful cake was presented. Val gifted the cake to us and it was unbelievable.

We grabbed dinner and headed to Disneyland. It was a great weekend and hard to say goodbye to the most wonderful adventure.

Here are a few of the pics from my day in Alice

The Stockings Were Hung

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
