i can't wait to show you the crafts we are making tomorrow!!!

Tiffany - We had the storm last weekend, so this weekend we had to put the house back together. I so wanted to make a Thankful tree or pennant for the fireplace, I didn’t get to that though. But u have to see Flight, Denzel is ah-mazing! Oh and the movie is good too. It is (and it isn’t) what you think. INTENSE. Very intense.
Ana - I spent all the weekend listening to U2 !! How good is that ?? Love U2 !!!
Michelle from australia - We are getting over jet lag. It is a long way from Australia to La and then to Vegas. But we are here after nearly two years of dreaming about it. Love it!!
Shairee - Ran the RAGNAR race – fantastic weekend!!!!!!
Jill @ 4 Fab Franklins - I had a Great time! Thank you again, and again, and again. *mwah!*
Oh, and the food! My Gosh! The food was Out Of This World Delish! Thank you all so very much.
colleen sullivan - I bought a rotary sander and am going to paint my laundry room cabinets (formerly in the kitchen) wyethe blue this week. This is very gutsy for me… you are very cool in that you are a mom, you nap, and you encourage others to create! Wish me luck!
April - I had a blast! Thank you soo much!
Jennibell - We actually had a wonderfulnweekendnplanned! We traveled out of state so I could stand up with a little girl who was a flower girl in my wedding……she was saying HER vows this weekend……funny how the circle of life works :). Sunday the kids were receiving their Christmas gift….to watch the Cincinnati Bengals play….it will be a full one….can’t wait for my chance to go to Craft Weekend….I put my name on the list in the very beginning…..
Jennifer Kasper - Loving the Photos!!! The beds look comfy, especially with kiddios and husband sometimes a mama needs a break!!! Thanks for the endless hours of inspiration and the “go to” recipies for this family of five. I am thankful I found your blog 4 years ago…. This weekend we had soccer and two birthday parties Saturday, and cleaning and laundry with some skateboarding, art and maybe a movie Sunday. We live in Maui so I love the farms and chipped paint you have. We rust and have bugs…
Lisa - What happy pictures! I had visions of spending all of Saturday in my craft room working away on Christmas gifts. Instead, after cleaning/supervising a play date/a parade/making dinner, I FINALLY made it to the craft room. Within minutes, I was trapped in there (with both children) when my youngest pulled the door knob off. Now I’m hoarse from yelling to my husband who was in the room farthest from me. And wearing headphones. There’s always tomorrow for crafting, right? 😉
Anna - We’re going to a holiday market and I hope to finish some Christmas outfits for my girls. Church and children’s choir on Sunday. Since its a 3 day weekend I hope to get some Christmas shopping alone on Monday!
Jen - I so love your pictures. I get so happy when a see a new post here! Hope you’re having an awesome, rockin’ craft weekend! No big plans here. Spending quality time with my two girls – dinner at Cracker Barrel last night, lots of outside play time (having beautiful Nov. weather in Ohio), library. Hubby’s been gone with the Army for the last eight days. They return him to us tomorrow. Yea!!!! I can’t wait to see him!
ChristineW - http://www.netplaces.com/angels-guide/fun-help-from-the-angels/finding-lost-objects.html
Pray to the angels about finding your keys!! Believe me, it works!
Hope to be able to come for a craft weekend sometime. It looks like SO MUCH FUN!
Breeanna @ a brilliant melody - Have fun at the craft weekend! I so wish I could afford to attend one of them! They look amazing! Do you know anyone in San Diego who does something similar?
Lisa - After telling one of the parents (& fellow crafter) at the school I work at about your Craft Weekends, she invited me over tomorrow for a crafting afternoon 🙂
I love seeing all the pictures of your craft weekend!
steph - oh man… i can’t WAIT ’til february!!!! 🙂

Our church is having our annual Bible conference this weekend, so I’m busy making desserts to bring. The sun is shining today, too, so I’m going to try and sneak a little outdoor time in :):
Angela Atkins - Finishing up a quilt. Watching my son’s soccer tournament (the last one of the season, finally), and watching an OU game. Making my plans for my advent giving days. Checking my computer constantly for any post from this craft weekend, jealous of the amazing group of women who are leading this group.
Flower Patch Farmgirl - You don’t even know, Girl. You don’t even KNOW what I would give to be there right now, with so many of my favorite people!

Leadia Jarvis - wish I were there again. Do you need a helper???
Only see “flight” if you never, ever want to get on a plane again! LOL! But seriously, such a good and intense movie.
Just got home from dinner/wine with friends. I’m sure I’ll be knee-deep in kid activities the rest of the weekend. Have fun. I’m envious 🙁
dcgraber@cox.net - Drove by the house tonight on our way to the Bread Basket (the elders and wives got together for the German Buffet). The house was all lit up!! I told Al that you were having a craft weekend and had to explain what that was to him. Just showed him these pictures. Sounds like so much fun, Meg!
Sara Torbett - Glad you got another key-I kept wondering if you ever made it out of the farmhouse, lol. 🙂 your craft house is so happy! Hope you girls have a blast.this weekend I am hoping to go into labor, I’m 37 weeks pregnant with girl #2,lol :). And probably crafting while waiting! Do you ever read Artful Blogging or Sommerset Life? I love their mags.
Siobhan - Hanging with my peeps aka my children, be warned flight has nakedness lots of drug and alcohol abuse and is just so different than I was expecting, it ends well but it’s often difficult to watch.

Molly B - Has any one ever cried upon arriving at Craft Weekend? ’cause I think I would–tears of joy!
Robin Canter - spending wkend at our ‘farm’ in north carolina – our retirement place in 2 years. not a working farm with animals – just lots of acreage. been cleaning out linen closet today and finding some vintage fabrics from years ago! super fun organizing it all. however, i’d rather be crafting in Kansas. 🙂
happygirl - Have a great craft weekend. Give Farmgirl Paints an extra hug from Happygirl. My favorite bloggers in one room. Bliss.
Caryn - I’m staying home and doing some sewing tomorrow… not sure if it will be for myself or my shop yet though 🙂 Also planning a crafty morning with some friends in a few weeks, thanks to the inspiration of Craft Weekend! Trying to figure out details so I can get my (vintage & thrifted) party invites in the snail mail on Monday morning, yay! Hope this Craft Weekend is awesome for you lovely ladies, can’t wait to read about it and see pics soon.
Mommyjulia - What a beautiful beautiful fun place you’ve created! I live all the white & all the colour 😉 this weekend I hope to craft! Yay! I’m making tree skirts for Christmas gifts.

Take lots of instagrams 🙂 I’ll be following.
April R - cookies
lots and lots of cookies being made 🙂
Naomi - It’s super duper cold here so I’m hoping to stay indoors and keep warm.
I just moved to Canada from the UK and I am seriously missing my sewing machine. I really really want to make some bunting to make my room pretty, and I’d love to tackle making my own quilt to keep me warm!
Hope your weekend is awesome 🙂
Lindsay - Inspired by a post I thought I saw here- or you linked to at some point- my husband and I are assembling bags of stuff for the homeless people we see on the corners who are standing with a sign, begging, etc. Just got back from Fred Meyer (like Wal Mart) with tons of travel size goodies, clean socks, protein bars, etc. A humbling start to our weekend, but as the temps here in Seattle drop below freezing tonight, I’m reminded how blessed we are and thankful we can share our blessings with others on a personal level. And I thank you Meg for being an inspiration.
Jen - i can’t believe this is your ‘job’!! not that it isn’t a lot of work (i’m sure it is) but what an amazing, fun way to ‘work’ right? have such a fun weekend!
KirstenP - Maybe I’ll finish raking leaves/blowing leaves in the yard this
weekend. Temps are supposed to be in the mid 60’s.
This afternoon I attended a Veterans Day program with other
veterans. Yep, I’m a vet – Air Force. Over 500 elem students
sang patriotic sons for us – some tear-jerking moments.
Kristin S - Thank you Meg for taking us along on your journey of following God’s calling in this unique way. Craft Weekends are a ministry!
Have a blast this weekend.
Praying for all of you.
kelly - Absolutely love seeing pics of the craft house. Can’t wait to see it in person! Making a chalkboard and some bunting w/ wood pendants!
Katey Deasy - I follow farmgirlpaints and of course you on instagram and I know she is there this weekend and I’m seeing both of your amazing pictures!!! my mom came over today for us to make these cute little vintage villages out of chipboard and glitter and old music paper. I hash-tagged a picture of OUR own #whatevercraftweekend. If we can’t be there at least we can craft!! Can’t wait for our turn to roll around!! Thanks for always being enthusiastic about the weekend. What a blessing for everyone.
Lynne - Flight is soooo good. The “flight” scene is so real, I almost cried out of nervousness-just like if I were on a plane! Go see it. Denzel should get an Oscar nomination!
janet c - putting down new vinyl plank flooring in my son’s room. then he can finally move in. your polka dot curtain look just like my polka dot sheets on my bed 🙂
Karen Gerstenberger - Your Craft House is sooo beautiful – thank you for showing us the pics each time. Have a wonderful weekend with the ladies!
I am going to make beach wreaths to sell in my friend’s online store, help a neighbor write his resume, make a book for my mom’s 80th birthday (a surprise), and try to catch up on Katie’s Comforters Guild’s blog postings and my own blog.
Blessings to you and your family, Meg!

This weekend I am taking my kiddos to a birthday party and Sunday we are hosting a “Friendsgiving” dinner at our house with a bunch of our favorite people!
