And yes, there are more Birdsong pictures, I warned you, didn’t I?!

Our first class was Lori Oles' shadow box.

 Her kits were beautifully wrapped up, huh?

And lucky me, she gifted me with the finished example!

 

My class the first day was a little fairy in a swing. ( I think this is Tamantha's)

If I were to award prizes for the fairy who looked the most like her maker, who do you think would win?

(yes, I know the planter behind Linda makes it look like she is wearing a floral hat. I had to line myself up to get the photo that way, how could I not give her a rainbow flower top hat when it was right there behind her just taunting me with the possibility?)

Lisa is probably tied for first place with Linda.

Tami's favors her too.

Some crafters combined my class with Lori's class and added the fairy to the shadowbox.

The wool roving we worked with looked so much like cotton candy, that I heard more than one table mention that they had a craving for it.

So, I fetched the cotton candy machine!

Sugarwings dropped by to visit just in time to be my cotton candy making assistant. 

And to sample the sparkling pink lemonade.  She now thinks that Birdsong is all about the treats.  Well, it kind of is, I bake and bake to prepare for it.  

Andrea Singarella was the first teacher of the day on Sunday.

While the morning teacher does her class, I am busy prepping for lunch.  This year I was smart enough to get most of it done way ahead of time so I could pop in the room to visit.  Still, it all went by so fast for me, it was kind of a blur.  I really wish I could visit with everyone even more. 

Andrea had us making bracelets.  Once again, beautiful kits, huh?

Even her tools were pretty.

My Sissy's were too.  Hers had some sparkle going on.

My second class was this mobile.  Which is hard to photograph.

This photo is from the night before it all began, after getting the studio ready for company.

Maybe by the end of the weekend, we were all a bit slap happy with the last class?

Possibly so.  When Suzanne told me that her mobile was going to be bridal themed for her upcoming wedding, I got this veil out for her and Guncle Randy had to model it for us.

As did the beautiful bride.

She hung her tags from the vintage veil after everyone got a chance to play dress up in it.

This was a great class to end with, because it was pretty laid back.  Everyone made the tags and crystals that they wanted, and we added them to a simple wreath with lace and ribbon.

It was kind of relaxing to make tags and pretty things.  I tried to make sure there were plenty of goodies in each kit, plus extras for them to play with.  I like it when no two projects turn out the exact same way. And we are a big believer in extras here.  After Andrea's bracelet was finished, those with extra time could make earrings too.  

I have a few more pics of the weekend coming up.  I am really enjoying looking through them all and reliving the great time I had. Thanks again to everyone who came to see me!
