Happy Valentine's Day!
I'm still relishing rosy thoughts from my party last week.
It was a seriously, lovely day for me.
We had two projects to do and the rest of the day was spent on freestyle crafting with a table full of supplies. Back in November, at my Snowbird's Song event, I provided free time and it seemed really popular, so I thought I'd give it another shot.
When you have creative people together, they simply want to create. Kits are important, and so is learning a few tricks, but it is also good to nurture and explore individual tastes.
Just being in a room with other artsy types and having lots of new (vintage) supplies to play with can spark some great ideas.
Here are a couple of pretties that Alice-Anne made up.
With the kits, I included some variations so my guests could personalize their projects, with a choice of words and photos to use on the pieces, and some options for the ruffles.
I'm always happy to see the different ways my kits become art in the hands of the attendees.
But the best part? The atmosphere in the room, with all the happy gluing, cutting, chatting, and creating.
It did my heart good to see ladies who had just met here in November, back together and hanging out as friends.
There were 8 of us, an ideal size group for getting to know each other while making pretty things.
Thanks to everyone who attended and to those who bought kits to make at home!
I hope your Valentine's Day is filled with love and friendship.
Your Studio is always so beautiful and inspiring! Jeanie and I enjoyed our Galentine kits too! Hope to be there for the next event.
Brings back great memories of spending time with you in the studio! Glad you ladies had fun but deep in my heart I wish I could have been there too!
Everything is so pretty and beautiful. But most of all, there is a lot of love in that room. Love for all things pretty, for creating in company and for all the heart-felt touches. Lovely, Karla!
