Tracy Fisher - Good luck with your craft weekend. It’s a pain to go through all of that work… but so worth the feeling you get at the end! Believe me, I just posted my art from my art show. Crazy. Hectic. Lots of laughter, tears, shortness of breath, etc. But I did it. I am proud of you!!!!!

christine S - I’m probably too late to enter but here goes anyways – I’ve bought 5 stars for me and 2 stars for sister-in-law. The wrapping of sister-in-laws package was so wonderfully done and special that it made her cry. And she hadn’t even seen the stars yet!!
My sister-in-law NEVER cries!!!

love your snippers (i said snippers because i don’t want to bother checking the spelling for you know…that other word)
when i was working i printed out a piece of paper with zebra pattern and i cut out a strip and glued it to the top of my stapler. it was a show stopper! 🙂
Juliann Brenner - Hi Megan – looks like fun! How I’d love a craft weekend where I didn’t have to shop for and organize supplies, try to craft around my kids’ never-ending needs, and eat, drink and talk talk talk to other ladies! Even the ideas and samples are already done – ’cause I need lots of help with crafting 🙂
Are you going to post any tutorials once the weekend is over??
I’d love to come sometime if I could scrounge the $$ to go. 😉
Jen Giorgis - That all looks like so much fun!!! I am going to love visiting your blog! I need to email you some pics…I’ll try to do that soon. Love, Love, Love…wish I was coming to your craft weekend!

Susan - I should be there….I had 2 spots…I had to give them up to keep Baby #7 safe while growing inside of me. I cried when I saw this post. I want to be there…. I NEEDED to be there. It just isn’t my time to be there. I don’t know if I will be able to read your posts knowing that I should have been there. One day I WILL be there! I hope and pray you all have an amazing time. While you do….I will keep on living the dream here!
