I still need to organize pictures from the Paper Cowgirls art retreat. What a wonderful weekend. We made some really incredible projects...... banners, a collage I bought from one of the head cowgirls, Dale, and a fav - a paper lantern. 
Needless to say most of my projects are still in progress, but I'm posting a few pictures anyway along with some others from last weekend.
I loved this little Bingo card class. The instructor wasn't able to be there but her kit and instructions were excellent and I actually finished this one!
I can't find my soldered pendant I made but soldering is something I've never done and I loved it. I'm sure my husband put it somewhere safe. Meanwhile you can see some of Tina's (our fab instructor) work here. Okay - I found it! It's made with a glass vintage pocket watch crystal over a collaged image. Honestly - I'm so proud of it!!! I was afraid I would fail the class completely and I think maybe I deserve a "B"!
My best pal, Barbara, was the only casualty of the class. She got a really nasty burn when she was showing me how to do something. Ouch!
Another highlight of the weekend was meeting some blogging friends.
I've corresponded with Shannon (Faith and Chocolate) since first swapping, blogging, and "flickr-ing" and was just thrilled to meet her in person. She is a sweetheart and for some reason this darling girl touched my heart from the very beginning. Here we are on Vendor's night. Isn't she just adorable? (I cleverly covered one of my chins with my name!)
I borrowed stuff from the really nice gal next to me all morning only to find out that she was actually Suzie Button! I felt like I'd found my long lost cousin!
And finally here's a little sneak peek at the house where Vendor's night took place. Hi Sister peeking out the door!

It was the pinkest house you've ever seen so I'll just have to save it for Pink Saturday!

Nancy it was so much fun meeting you! I had so much fun at Paper Cowgirl. The classes were great and your lantern looks wonderful. Mine will be a while before I get it finished. Maybe next year we can do some paper Cowgirl swaps then we can trade some artwork. Can't wait to see you again.
ReplyDeleteNancy, I'm glad you had a good time. It was fun wasn't it? I think so.

Nancy, all of your projects are just precious. wish I could have joined you all, maybe next time. It looks like a great time was had by all. I can't wait to see more. I have done some soldering projects and they are great. I need to get some scalloped copper foil. Yours is a A+. GinGin
ReplyDeleteHey Nancy, saw your comment on the PC blog...and no she's not really. But as you can see, all get confused by us and we would always get that question, "are you sisters?" . Well I started calling her that and it stuck. Now most in town call her that...much to her unhappiness. (very evil LOL). But she's my BFF, so like a sister. As for TW..ewwwwwww, I'm gonna kick her tiney behiney for postin that gosh awful pic. That rotten girl! LOL.
