Jennifer's class...

Next up... My two classes! We created the Little Cottage in the Snowy Woods with the cutie Charlotte doll!! Loved it! The ladies did a spectacular job and added their unique touch which I love!! We also created A Christmas mini-crown! I love crowns so our tree just had to have one!!
The day winded down with our final classes! It was a wonderful day and I can't wait to create with these ladies and more soon!!

Kathy's class!

((a computer glitch... got me a bit delayed in my blog post :( ))

Kathy taught two fun classes...
The Christmas Shoe & Christmas Bottle!
We had a really great time focusing and creating our shoe!!! The kit Kathy created for us was filled to the brim with goodies!! Loved the vintage Christmas postcards! We had a wide array of unique bottles to choose from and lots of lace & trim!!! Loved all the bling! Her classes were amazing and the shoe is super cute on my tree!!

The ladies.... Loved them all.. they are Amazing!!

next up... Mendy's classes....

Mendy came all the way from Houston to join us and teach two amazing classes! I loved both of the classes... She taught her signature flower's class and an adorable mini canvas class!!

Christmas In July!

Saturday morning finally arrived and the creating began!!! The Aledo Bake Shope opened up early for us to come in and set up!!

Loved getting to decorate for Christmas in July!!
The ladies arrived ready for a fun filled day of creating...
1st class..... "The Tree!"
It was great to see how each lady put a special twist on their tree.. lace, boas, trim was placed everywhere!!! Loved it.. The tree pictured doesn't have the boa skirt around the bottom... I don't know where it was hiding!!

Christmas in July!

Saturday's fun will be posted tomorrow!!! Stay tuned!

Christmas In July. Day 1.. Shopping Adventures!

Our weekend adventures began on Friday at Old South Pancake House! Love that place! Nothing beats a yummy German pancake soaked in lemon and butter!! We ate, chatted & enjoyed getting to know each other!
Blue... just seemed to be the color of choice for the day! 1st stop Anthropologie with a great blue topper... Love that store! So unique and provides great inspiration!
Next stop... a wonderful & eclectic mix of vintage goodies. Everything from vintage clothing, photographs, lamp shades, tables & chairs, luggage, pink everything... curlers, hair setters~ you name it! So much more.... anything you could want.. it was there behind the fabulous screen door!! The lady that hosts this wonderful warehouse was a delight and joy to visit with! We spent quite a bit of time in the wee bit hot warehouse.. but everyone stayed happy and enjoyed the hunt!
Off to find a Sonic next~ gotta have a water break on this 105+ day!!!!
Another blue door met us at our next destination.... The door opened and we all gasped in delight, surprise and bewilderment! The showroom was filled with beads, vintage goodies galore and more... then we were escorted to the warehouse of beads, beads & more beads... vintage jewelry, beads and a few more beads! Next~ the climate controlled room filled with "stuff!".... carnival trinkets, watch faces, keys, beads, rosary chains, more carnival trinkets, and more.... The supply of "stuff" was endless! It truly was an amazing shop with great stuff! We all had our arms loaded down with stuff at the end of our bead shopping! Julie found the best vintage aqua doggie that I just loved .... she was so sweet.. She gave it to me as a gift on Saturday! I can't wait to make a necklace out of it and post pics!! Thanks again!!! I LOVE it!!
Our day seemed to go by so quickly but it was getting late.. I had a few other places planned for those who wanted a bit more of an adventure...
A Vintage Fabric store that is going out of business and having a 60 percent off sale.. wonderful seam bindings, laces, buttons and more!! Kristi & Tammy loaded up on goodies...
We really had a great day shopping together, laughing and finding great stuff to create with!
The warehouses & shops were great to welcome us into their world and let us play for a few hours!!! Thanks so much!
