What fun!!! Barb and I got to Fun N Sun in Sarasota Thursday afternoon so we had a nice, long weekend. We headed to St. Armand's Key that night and ate at the Columbia restaurant which is always fun. By the time we got back to our "home", Ann had come in from Pensacola so she came over and we talked and drank a bit of vino and laughed a lot until late that night. Janet, Gerri Anne and Sonya came in the next day along with the whole Hilltop gang for our Creepover Crop weekend.
I have to jump ahead and tell you that this year's contest was to decorate this chipboard witch hat that we found at Michael's. MY GOODNESS, people outdid themselves!! We had such a competition and you really had the worst time deciding a winner as so many were fabulous. The winner, Kelly West, ended up getting one of the Winter Retreat weekends paid for in January!! (We're having two winter retreats in 2012- East and West; Sebring and Sarasota).
Anyway, here was Kelly's winning hat which was amazing as she made the whole thing complete with lights and a sound box....
Don't you love the legs and shoes!!!
Here's a collage of some of the hats...
Some outstanding ones (but not all as there were so many)...
This was Gerri Ann's..Can you see the witch's fingers? They opened the hat and inside was an album...
This was Laura's and she even made the spider!
Another terrific one with whole album also made by Patricia Glasnap...
Susan's hat which I loved and which you had to see in person to see how wonderful it was..inside was a chandelier which lit up a whole room complete with furniture, rug and pictures on the wall!
Cathie's was truly elegant and also lit up..
Here was mine...
This side had the spider album...
I LOVED this clever one too...play on words...
SAND WITCH and it had the sandwich on it, lol!
It was a hoot and everyone did such a great job. The crop was wonderful of course, lots of good food, especially desserts this time and cute and yummy little treats...

There something to be said for being with a roomful of women all weekend, having fun, relaxing, laughing and just having a great time with absolutely no drama! You come away from it so refreshed!
I think that's enough pictures for now...will check back in later this week..lots happening in the next couple of months and all fun!
