Gettin' Crafty!


This week has been so busy! I have reconnected with many friends and it makes me feel happy and alive! Where would we be without good girlfriends?? Here are some cards I made today inspired by my friends.

Also - had my first "Crafternoon" this weekend and it was so much fun. There were just four of us, but we had a lot to talk about, a lot to share, and some interesting projects were made. One of the girls was sewing bags for Morsbags. Go check out the site and make one of your own like I did! Here's mine made out of old dinner napkins. Reuse, renew, recycle!

Another girl was making draft dodgers for the local church windows, and another was knitting on a loom. It really was a lot of fun and great therapy! I have some more projects to show you but they'll have to wait until another time. My little one needs me now. Have a great week! :)

I'm glad you were able to spend time with friends doing art projects. You're right-there's nothing like girlfriends to perk up your spirits. We have had twice as much snow this winter than we usually have but it's not nearly what you've had. Cabin fever is hard to deal with. I'd love to come and spend an afternoon and craft with you. At least we both got new posts up. Do you like Chai Tea?

A craft afternoon with just 4 is perfect, I think. The group is small enough for everyone to talk with each other & have fun. I am self taught so I wld hv love to be part of a craft group, so be able to ask questions personally. You hv made so many pretty things here! I returned to my family yesterday & my 2 kids were screaming "Mama! Mama!" at the airport! It's good to be back & yours is the first blog I visit today.
