Now, I'm not one who usually wins things...but this month I got really lucky! Kris drew my name this month from our group of ATC swappers at SDA to receive a RAK. And what a lovely surprise package it was...take a look! There's tons of paper ephemera...collage images, bingo cards, faux postage, transparencies, labels, tags, even pages from an old phone book. Plus, she sent some lovely bird scrap, epoxy stickers and gorgeous gold and silver foil edgings, wings and windows!To top it all off, she sent along this fabulous ATC...Beach Babe. What a treat! Thank you Kris for such a wonderful gift.
I finally had a chance to get the rest of the photos from Cathy's soldering party off the camera and on to my computer. This was by far the most fun I've had in ages! What a great bunch of women... some I was meeting for the first time. From the moment we arrived though, it seemed like we'd always known each other. Cathy and Jo graciously opened their lovely home to all of us and the fun began. There was delicious food, good conversation, lots of concentrating on wrapping copper foil, a crash course on soldering and using patinas, laughter, a burnt finger here and there and of course...tiaras! Here are some random shots from the beginning of the party. Once we got started we were all so intent on what we were doing I never picked up the camera again! There's something so magical about getting together with a group of people all intent on creating. There was a constant buzz of energy the entire day! I can't wait to do it again!
