The 3rd and final weekend

If you have been following me March was one busy busy month and it led into the first weekend of April. I was so lucky to be able to attend three events three weekends in a row. Each event was very different and unique from the others but the common thread for all three was the wonderful hostesses. Each hostess pampered us with beautiful decor, fabulous food and an over the top event.
The weekend of March 17th was Kim's Moulin Rouge in California. Loved it and had such a wonderful time reconnecting with California friends.
The following weekend of March 25th was Carol's event Bon Voyage. Again such a great time seeing everyone and creating a fabulous book

The last and final event although it was named the "non-event" was at Earleen's the first weekend in April. Deb Hodge journeyed from Cali to lead us through 2 fantastic classes. Saturday was a glass banner and necklace and Sunday was a beautiful lamp shade. Again the tables were decorated over the top, lots of unique beautiful spring themed decorations, name tags and goodies. So here is weekend #3 in photos

Colleen, Deb and I

Earleen gave each of us a beautifully decorated box filled with the best goodies

This is Deb's banner I still need to hang mine and then will get a pic

My necklace I hung it off of black, pink, and cream seam binding.

Our kits for Sundays class all done up in a watering can. These were so pretty I hated to open it

Sunday's class the lamp shade




And so ends a busy wonderful 3 weeks of the best of the best events. I have to say it is a bit boring here this weekend with no class to attend. The mundane laundry is really not stimulating my creativity

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
