Moulin classes and swaps

It is a week later and I am still in a haze of Moulin goodness, feathers, glitter and still unpacking. It is taking me forever to unpack all the lovely things from the goody bags, tablemate gifts and the beautiful things Kim bestowed on us each day.
Friday began classes. Our first class was with Shea and Debbie. They walked us through designing a beautiful necklace. I was shocked that I was able to do it and I do love my necklace. Next up after a fab lunch outside on the patio was Jenny and Aron's can can stage. Not finished with this one yet so no pics. Throughout the day Kim gave away the most beautiful gifts donated by some lovely gals.
Friday evening was our much anticipated swaps and desserts. I joined 4 swaps and had so much fun making and receiving them.

And the fabulous journal swap. I have spent hours looking through this. I love this journal. Michelle Geller hosted and put all of our pages together. It was fabulous

Moulin has been one of my favorite Kim events although each and everyone was special. I was sad toleave and come back to reality.

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
