Getting Crafty
There's nothing better than a rainy day to give yourself a reason to do nothing but stay inside and get crafty. After several weeks of running in 100 different directions, it felt great to organize my supplies and start a new project. Just a finishing touch or two and I'll have some photos up for you. I have lots of extra supplies used in this little project, so I'll probably have some kits available if anyone is interested in these goodies. I also spent yesterday afternoon getting crafty with Jennifer Paganelli! She was at Tinsel Trading with her friend Nancy DeWeir Geaney. We made beautiful Victorian inspired cones with all sorts of papers, ribbons, flowers, and glittered die cuts. I had the chance to make it a great mother/daughter afternoon as well, since my daughter Caroline was there too! (a junior crafter for sure!) As always, Terri Vertura makes the afternoon so much fun. If you haven't seen the amazing jewelry she creates, go and check it out. Sweet Heather was there too, she's an amazing milliner, you really have to see the headpieces this gal designs.
A big roomful of eye candy! Can you believe all the goodies we had to play with! It was a great afternoon spent with so many talented ladies!
