Craft Weekend!!!!

Craft Weekend Was AMAZING!  In so many different ways too!  But first I have to say that one thing I came away with was really wanting to learn how to blog better and be able to add pics in fun ways and all that good stuff.  Well after at least an hours of uploading photos and just trying to get onto my blog I have realized there is a huge "want" in my life right now!  I WANT A MAC!  (I hope Tommy is reading this!)  My computer is the worst.  But enough of that....I want to give a run down on craft weekend and just how wonderful it was!

 This is Meg!  We (12 crafting gals) invaded Meg's home for the weekend.  I found Meg on her blog several years ago when she was writing about a friends journey through losing a beautiful daughter.  I have read ever since and she is so inspiring and NORMAL!  I was nervous for the weekend to be honest.  I am not girlie, kinda shy when I am amongst people I don"t know, and it really was a journey into the unknown.  When we arrived it was like meeting a movie star or something.  But she was so wonderful that after a few hours of talking and getting to know everyone she made everyone feel like she was one of us and we were just old friends.  She is still a celebrity in my mind, but she was so normal..ha.  She was nothing like I envisioned either.  I was thinking super high energy, talk super fast and just crazy.  NOPE!  She was so calm and sweet and kinda just WHATEVER!  Just like her blog.  She was even better than I ever imagined!

Her house was amazing.  HUGE!  It was built in 1908 and she has done a wonderful job remodeling and decorating.  Its all just beautiful.  The above picture was our crafting room.  We had everything you could imagine at our fingertips.  We made an apron, a canvas, some bags (well I made 2 :) and bunting.  I learned to sew a bit more and just to be creative and think out of the box. 

This was our room we stayed in!  Really cute!  Her daughter Talby's room!  Beds were really comfy and warm and we stayed awake way into the morning laughing and being dumb!

Meg's Friends and helpers.  They are just as famous as Meg and incredible women!  They were all awesome!

Getting ready for our photo shoot!  Just a few of the girls.  They were all so fun and there were so many different backgrounds...it was great!

PEANUT BUTTER CAKE....enough said!

So for now....I should "publish" this post before my computer locks up or something.  I need to take down my Christmas Village that may turn into a Valentine Village Soon.  I need to get unpacked, go grocery shopping, pay bills, clean and most importantly start on all the things I wanted to make after seeing Megs house!  But there is so much to tell from the weekend that I am sure there will be another post later.

And if you could do me a favor and become one of my followers.....that would be super.  I strive to be like "cupofkim" and I only have 2 followers.  She has 100!!!!  I gotta get there.
