I love this picture that Cathie McKenzie took, of part of our scrapping group Saturday night! Next to our crop room was a fun playground and we decided to play for awhile, lol! The best photo is this one....Barb and her "cricket"!!
OMG, we laughed over this one as we almost had to call the fire dept. and have them come lift Barb off of this!! She kept saying, "It's sticking in my colon", lol! We did finally get her off!
When you spend a weekend doing something you love, with people you love, it's such a boost to your spirits and this was no exception. Ginni and Christina have done a super job of everything to make the weekend fun and enjoyable for all of us. Christina cooks and keeps us filled up all weekend with yummy food. We stay at a hotel down the interstate a bit and it's reasonably priced and has lovely rooms and a free breakfast. This was the biggest crop they've had up there, about 20 people and it was a blast and man, did I get things done. Here's some of what I did...
I altered this birdcage so I could put a picture on it and change it out every now and then. Love it.....
The cover of my new Oasis cruise album. This was a big piece of corrugated board which I ripped part of it off to make the "water". Had fun playing with it...
I made another 8x10 she art canvas too which is always so much fun to make...
I made a bunch of cards too from kits from Scrappy Gourmet...Melissa Phillips designs which I always love.
This is a black cat template that I made. I borrowed a stamp from one of the girls and then drew out the cat on the corrugated board and cut it out with my exacto knife. I'll use the cat elsewhere. Linda suggested I use this for my album cover for the Creepover crop and I loved that idea so went ahead and made it. I'll put either one large photo or several small ones behind it when I'm done which should be cool. That crop comes in mid October down at Sun N Fun in Sarasota. Barb, Janet and I will room again down there and that's always a good time.
It's a very busy time of year and I love it. We still have the hot temps but cooler air is coming sooner or later, lol.
Next Saturday I'll be off to Brandon with Linda, Cathy L, and Teresa to attend a charity crop. Linda is one of the vendors there. After the day crop, I'll follow Linda to her house to drop off her trailer and then we head off that evening to Orlando to meet up with Gerri Anne and Barb. Pat, a rep for many companies, has put together an event where all her vendors come and do classes, etc. to show their new products. We'll be doing that on Sunday and I can't wait! We'll stay over at the Embassy suites which is one of my faves there.
Then the next weekend is a Sarasota crop on Fri/Saturday. The following weekend is my high school reunion, followed by Creepover the next weekend so October is going to fly by for sure. Before I know it, November will be here and that's Michele and Brad's wedding and then I'll fly off to Texas for 6 days!! Can't wait to see my Texas friends again plus Kathy F and her SIL, Paula, are driving over to attend the crop too!
Thank goodness I have my wonderful dog sitter as I'm keeping her very busy this Fall!
I've got the AC man coming today to do an end-of-summer clean out which is sorely needed. It's suppose to rain again too which I hope it does.
So that about wraps it up for now...have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by!
