Birdsong weekend was a LOT of work, but I planned ahead, baked ahead and froze treats, and even made up a written time line for what I needed to do when. I'm not normally that precise, but I found that it sure made it easier for Beth and Karla to pitch in and help if all the info wasn't up in my foggy brain. They could look at the time line and help with chores.
Being organized kept me on track too, and I was able to have plenty of time to relax, enjoy the group, and even have some time to create.
This is Lisa's class project. I was excited about doing it, but wanted to use some of my own elements, as well as change out the fairy kids to my little Dewdrop.
And look at what perfect paper Lisa had in her stash for this class! "Gypsy Song", just what I needed for a Dewdrop creation. Her mommy is quite the Gypsy.
Beth's class was a fun one too, although I didn't get to sit down to work on it then, she was generous enough to bring the kits a week early and we both sat and made up some collages from them.
My two are on the left, hers on the right. We gave them as door prizes during the classes.
One of the classes I taught was a made from scratch mushroom with a Charlotte fairy living under it. I'm not sure whose this one is, but didn't it turn out nice?
I pulled a dumb move at one point during class. Suzanne was holding up a mushroom/fairy concoction and I asked her if I could take a photo of her with it, telling her how pretty it was. Well, after posing, she politely told me that it was my own class example that I had complimented!
We all howled for a while over that one.
My last class was a necklace, and I was very pleased to see so many of them completed for the artists to wear home that night! There were a lot of beginners in the class and I know it was a little complicated, but I was proud of their results.
I will be in CA attending Kim's Tiffany event, then meeting Sugarwings and my handsome husband for a couple days at Disney! I've pre-written some blog posts for while I am away, so please stop by.
