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!!!!! I so wish I could come! You make me want to craft again. Oh I wish I could be there… *sigh* wow, looks like it is going to be fun…wish i could go just to make or win that bunting…wish Kansas wasn’t so far…maybe one day..enjoy! maybe you should do a craft weekend here… 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!! This is so not fair of you to show all these pictures and I can’t go! Whaaa whaaaa.. Looks like something right up my alley! I am checking out the waiting list.. SO fun and colorful!!! It looks soooo happy! 🙂 i want some swag right now. and zebra scissors. looks so delicious!!! 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 🙂 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! Looks so fun and inspiring!

and then as soon as we walked away he ate the candle. what a dork. ………………………………………… if you want information on craft weekend
Hahaha, I’ve just found your blog and this post made me laugh so much. I just love that he ate the candle! What a silly billy! Great blog, I’m really enjoying reading it! Love Eleanor xxx thatisthisandthisisheaven.blogspot.com Great pics. I’m embarrassed to say I was about to write…”my kind of cake”, since I LOVED waffles but since it was meant for a dog…:) What kind Of dog is waffle?!? He’s so cute! I’m not even a dog person and I loooove Waffle! Every time I see a picture of him, I want to reach through my screen and give him a big hug! He is one of the cutest dogs I’ve ever seen. I love how you gave him a plate of waffles for his birthday. 🙂 My nieces are here with me this weekend and I just showed them Waffles’ pictures and of course, they were both “awwwing” over him. Happy birthday, Waffle! Those pictures cracked me up! I needed that! Too perfect that he ate the candle!Happy Birthday Waffle!!! If he’s 3 in dog years that means he’s really 21 in human years. Hope he doesn’t sneak out to the bars this summer! 😉 that made my day! “As soon as we left, he ate the candle” made me laugh out loud. Bahahahaha! Love Waffle. Love him!!! I think it is so hilarious that he ate the candle! So cute! Glad he had a good birthday. The waffles looked delicious. Oh Meg, you are such a kindred spirit. LOVE these photos. 🙂 When next we see eachother in person, I’ll have to tell you the story of my friend who’s mom used to throw a neighborhood dog birthday party. It was hilarious. It inspired me to throw parties for my own pets. When I lived with my Aunt, we had them for her cats each year, and her kids thought that was the coolest thing ever. whipped cream & sprinkles are very bad for doggies! be careful there 🙁 we splurge and get doggie ice cream, great little treats! i think it’s called frosty paws.. peanut butter flavor might not taste too bad, because I may or may not have tried it 🙂 over at Pioneer Woman’s blog is your face, yep your mug on the side bar…….so many celebrities, so little time to follow you all! You are such a good doggie Mama. Waffle is a lucky pooch. Happy Birthday Waffle! Thanks for a morning smile 🙂 what a fine hound. your craft weekend looks and sounds amazing! great idea. Happy birthday sweet Waffle! What a great idea. I can only imagine that the kiddos enjoyed this as much as he did! Thanks for sharing! Happy birthday sweet Waffle! What a great idea. I can only imagine that the kiddos enjoyed this as much as he did! Thanks for sharing! We give our puppy mini birthday parties too. His first one I made him dog bones and the 2nd one I bought him this little gourmet type meal. He will be 3 in October so i will have to make him a dessert this year. Oh and my cat will be 12 on Sunday so we will do something for her too! Love that he ate the candle…silly boy! Soo cute.. Will have to do something similar for my dog!!! ♪ ♪ ♫ ♪ absolutely classic!

Hi Meg, that Waffle is one spoiled doggie. My dog can’t eat people food like waffles she would have some messy problems after that if you know what I mean 😉 She’s definetly a dorky dog! Love it! I have to say, I think this is the best birthday party ever! That is SO funny!!!!! ok,it took me a minute,but I get it,waffles for waffle! So cute! Hope the candle situation turns out ok! That is so great. It made me smile big 🙂 That is awesome! I still say you are mom of the year! What dog wouldn’t love that?! I love Waffle! He’s such a sweet dork! I wondered what was under the topping and, of course, it was waffles. Very cute idea! Seriously, the candle? And here I was worried about him eating the pit in the cherry!

My fiance and I are planning on getting a dog in the next year or so and he’s just so darn cute! there will be many more details to come. there is a very limited number of spots that will be sold….VERY. i think i will be doing more than one….if you really want me to. it will be ALL inclusive. once you get here all you will need is your jammies and your toothbrush! and i bet even if you forget your toothbrush i could get one for ya! it will be here in kansas. there will probably be a field trip to the barn….. here is the link to my first craft weekend with my bloggy friends. i can't wait to meet YOU at the next one! you can come by yourself and hang out with me. or you can come with a friend…….or a few friends!
so…what do you think???? can you come?
I live here in McPherson and am a crafting and antique nut. you keep mentioning a trip to the barn that i am not familiar with but would love to be. would you tell me where i can find this wonderful (i hope) place. where’s the waiting list?? sign me up! I’d love to come!! me, me, me!!! i would LOVE it! I’m actually in Kansas that weekend for a wedding! My cousin is getting married 9-10-11 in Overland Park. Please do it again. I’d make the drive from Colorado, no problem!!! I would completely love to come and craft with you!! If only…….. I am definitely up for this!!! 🙂 i will totally come!! that is if i can secure a spot:) Sounds like so much fun! I’m in Missouri and a total Tiger fan but we could probably get along for one weekend right?!? Can’t wait to hear more about it! I would love to go! If you are going to do more than one weekend though, can you let us know before you open this one up??? That weekend is horrible for me but…if it is the only one, I will figure out how to make it happen…if I can afford it and air fare from MA. I’ll be really close to you after we move next month – yipee! The weekend away sounds like so much fun. I’m new to your site, though, so I might wait for the next year! It sounds fabulous and I love reading your blog- Are you near an airport? I’m on the East Coast! OK, so 300 people want to come. Make that 301 including me. I always tell my husband we could be neighbors. If it doesn’t work this time, I sure hope you want to do it again sometime! You are so brave! i’ll be over in a minute… I would totally be there!!! I can bring goodies; treats of bribery. 🙂 That sounds so fun! I’m in Leawood (KC area). Where are you located in Kansas?? I would love to come if you have available space! I live in your hometown 🙂 I dreamt I met you the other night. We went to a bakery and bought muffins for breakfast. Ha. Maybe this was a premonition. Would love to do a craft weekend with you. that would be amazing!! That is the Alzheimer’s Walk Weekend…. 🙁 will have to miss it and you 🙁 I would love to, however, I don’t have the money. Rotterdam – Kansas is a long way you know! =D But I’ll craft along Side with you here in Rotterdam! PICK ME! PICK ME! My friend and I would love to come! We already have connections to Newton!

Thank you! if you’re not an amazing crafter can one still come? Yes! Yes! Yes! I’d love to get more information. Do chocolate bribes get you to the top of the list?

Oh goodness I would LOVE to be there!!!!! Count me in and I will be there with BELLS on!!! I can’t think of a better vacation!! YAY!!! Yes, yes, yes! I would LOVE to come…Georgia’s not too far away, right? hmmm – so how far is Kansas from Southern Maryland? I bet I could drive it with blissful thoughts of crafting and eating those french toast kabobs. keep me posted, this fellow crafter may just may show up on your doorstep. 🙂 Oh my GOSH!!! I would LOVE to come!!! I can’t wait to hear the details. Perhaps I can swing it… depends on how expensive airfare is from ATL to Kansas! So fun! me too!! me too!! when, where, how much?? That would be so absolutely amazing! I wish I could go! I’m doing the flowers for a friends wedding that weekend, and it’s going to be a busy one. But a whole craft weekend with you!!!! That would be the best!:) I’d be there in a heartbeat! Would totally love it! Your house seems so cozy and you and your family seem so fun! Unfortunately, I don’t sew, but I do scrapbook. I have a good friend that loves to sew and maybe I could bring her. We live in CO, so that is fairly close to good ole Kansas…. Would love…and BTW you and I have a friend in common (the fabulous Fremont, Nebraska photog). Just thought i’d throw that in there cuz it’s a darn, small world if you ask me. 🙂 yes yes yes yes yes …. wow never been to kansas! I would love to come! close my eyes and click my heels…there’s no place like Kansas….there’s no place like Kansas…. Sounds lovely! You have NO idea how much I wish I could. But, I currently live 8511 miles away from you 🙁 Wah! If I happen to be home (Oklahoma) the next time you have one (next spring, just in case you want to plan it around me, haha!), I would MOST DEFINITELY try to come! Oh my goodness! How insanely cool is this?!? I’d love to come to Kansas, have a super-fun crafty weekend, and visit Cora’s Playground. My daughter and I crafted and raised money for that & I’d love to come to Newton and meet you! I would love to be there… make sure there is enough Toilet Paper though! 😉 JK… Nice meeting you! I would definitely love to come craft and make a few friends while I’m at it. Can’t wait to hear more. Wow from the length of this list I will be there in a couple of years! I live in Missouri so this sounds great! My BIRTHDAY is 9/11 !!!! I WANT TO COME!!!!!! You are so very crafty and as a Kindergarten teacher I need some lessons that don’t just involve school glue :)!!!! I would love to come. I would love to see Kansas and make new friends! I want to come! I want to come! I want to come!!! But I can’t cause it’s just a little far from Australia. So sad!! how long is the flight from Sydney Australia to Kansas???? Oh Meg how I wish I could be there crafting it up with you in your beautiful home… If only I didn’t live in Australia. If only Kansas was next door to Auckland, New Zealand.. I WOULD LOVE to come!!!! Maybe you need to have one over here! 😉 Love your blog Meg! xxx There are now direct flights from Sydney (Australia) to Houston. And then it would just be another flight to Kansas from Houston I presume? I want to know where you got the cute little picture background thingies that you’ve used on this post- did you make them yourself on the computer? Soooo cute!!! Oh how I would love to come…you have 254 responses….I think you need to have more than one! 🙂 my bag is now packed waiting by the door,i even packed my oversized footie jamms;)do you do background checks??? lol.just.K.I.D.D.I.N.G.:) How far is it from Denver….I just read your blog praying that one day I will be able to be crafty and cute and a good mom all at once. Wow. Looks like lots of people want to come to your craft weekend. You may have to have about 25 of them 🙂 Let’s see…a weekend away with GIRLS??? Yes, please! =0) um, yes, please! 🙂 Have I ever mentioned that this is how I got my start in crafting? Oh Meg! You are so brave! and generous:) When I saw this post this morning I was giddy. and nervous! I told my friend and coworker….we have to go! We work at a non profit and have a major event the following weekend. So we are free! How cool is that? And we live in KS so we’ll have a fun road trip. I can’t wait to hear the details. Good luck narrowing this down! Are you feeling the love from your hundreds of fans?! I hope so! I might be starting a new job in August, in which case I probably wouldn’t be able to come. But if I can make it work, absolutely! You’re gonna need a bigger house! I would like to come pretty please with sugar on top! Oh yes, road trip from the Windy City! I don’t have a blog, but I would totally start one if it’s required! Would love to go thrifting in your neck of the woods. *Have sewing machine, will travel. :)* oh wow I would love to come – I’ve never been to Kansas before, but I do live in Australia so it’s unlikely I can make it. oh well I’ll join in by looking at the photos and imagining how fun it would all have been! I so wish I could come, but please do have a great weekend – and share all about it! I would love to do this!!! Beast! 🙂 I live in Australia and I would love to come! 🙂 oh my gosh, would i love to come. wowzers, how very tempting. if i could pull it off financially and scheduling wise i’d so be there. maybe i will be! just maybe. if i’m lucky. oh my gosh, would i love to come. wowzers, how very tempting. if i could pull it off financially and scheduling wise i’d so be there. maybe i will be! just maybe. if i’m lucky.

And you’re SO CLOSE… but we’re moving into a new house close to then and life will probably be pretty hectic. Do you have any idea how many times you plan to do these weekends? The last one looked so wonderful! Aw, if only Kansas were an hour drive from So. Cal!! Count me in. I am worried though…with over 200 reservations, who has to sleep on the floor? I want to come! Would drive there from TX if need be! Can’t wait for more details! Sounds like so much fun!! Awesome! That sounds like the most fun weekend ever! I would love to come!! I would love to come craft with a fellow Jayhawk fan. I think it would be so amazing to attend a craft weekend and meet you and some new awesome people! I can’t wait to hear more details! I would LOVE to come hang out with you. I think when our powers combined, we’d be an unstoppable amount of fun and craftiness! 🙂 To make up for the fact that this is indeed a cruel teaser for those of us on the other side of the world, I would humbly request THE MOTHER OF ALL POSTS detailing every polka dot, pom-pom edged pillow, margharita, chocolate indulgence and hot glue gun craft that takes place. Can you please send me your postal address so I can forward some essential items to add to the experience? If I can’t be there in person, I can at least send some chocolate on my behalf, right? Meredy xo Are you kidding?! I would love too!! 🙂 Sounds like such fun. Oh, man I would love to come meet you! Ever since I found out you were in Kansas too I’ve wanted to meet you.

Megs I can bring the milk, cream, cheese, butter and cupcakes whatever it takes to get there!!! I’m so excited that you are doing this! You are AWESOME!! Could you send me info about it please? Meg…i wasn’t able to get my family pictures taken with you this summer, so does that mean i am a shoo-in for a craft weekend with you? j/k! but, i totally would! I will check back & keep my fingers crossed that i can get a spot! 🙂 PS~if you have any photo cancellations for the Lawrence area, my family & i would love to have it! 🙂 oh my goodness, oh my goodness…I hope i get in! My husband laughs when I talk about “Meg–you know, my virtual friend that’s never met me before…” Even if I don’t get one of the coveted Golden Tickets, my happy thoughts will be with you and your guests! totally would be in but my sweet second baby girl will be turning one 🙂 I would love to and I don’t even craft, lol. MEg, I will give up my November Disneyland trip to come to Kansas and craft with you!!!!! Holy moly, I want a spot!!!! Dream come true! I would so make the drive from Alabama to come to your craft weekend! Wow. You are going to have to have like 27 of them. Your fans are going Ka-RAY-ZEE. Oh Meg you’re killing me!

I visit your blog EVERY day!!! It’s my little “treat” of the day to see what you’re up to ‘down there’ in Kansas. 🙂 I’m in Texas (pretty far) but I’m IN!!!! Definitely! Not sure about the school calendar yet, but if I can manage airfare, and everything else, I would so be there! oh my goodness, i so so so would love this! you have become my color inspiration and I live close enough! I would be thrilled, excited, and honored. None of my friends share my love of crafting so I would love to be able to spend some time with amazing ladies who share my interest. Oh Amazing… from far far faaaaar away Cape Town!!! Sounds amazing, but we’re broke. I’ll be crafting my heart out with my ladies here in Portland instead. Have a blast!!!

What time should I be there? well duh id want to come. I will be just two months away from due date… so driving there would probably be uncomfortable and take forever due to the number of times id have to stop and pee. and can you fly that close to your due date? im not sure. but last time i was there i vowed i would drive the next time especially if there was a barn visit cause i could have cried because of the items that wouldn’t fit back on the plane with me. I think I might have to go RIGHT. NOW. to buy a lottery ticket so I can afford the airfare from Western Canada. Would LOVE to come!!! Of course I would come!!! Who wouldn’t?? The response to this will blow you away! It may be your new business, who knows. Would love to share time, creativity and meals with you and others! Oh, that would be SO MUCH fun!

How much fun it would be!!! But I am stay at home Mama to four boys with a busy working hubby. BUT, I will tune in via web & look forward to seeing all the fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and color!!!!!!! Who wouldn’t want to come?? I’d love it! ohhh.. i wish i lived closer! I guess Toronto is a bit too far for me to travel 😉 sounds very fun! I need to know the cost so I can budget it in. This California Girl has always wanted to go to Kansas!! So fun!! Hope you have room for all these ladies. 😉 will i have to stay up all hours of the night to make sure I get in on those limited spots??? i just realized my 30th birthday present. More details….sounds like fun!! i am heartbroken! i would BE there in a heartbeat. but. i am off to cruise the Mediterranean, and will be flying home during craft weekend. i hope you’ll do another. 🙂 but i’m thrilled you are coming to blog sugar! only a few weeks later! so i’ll definitely meet you then! <3 I’m a mom of three…a Getaway is just what I need. How fun it would be to come and meet you and some other ladies as well!! I’d love the opportunity! I would LoVe to come!!!! I always read your blogs and craft Thursday’s give me inspiration and to be there first hand would be awesome and I’ve never been to Kansas before 🙂 count me in!!!! Oh Meg, I’m in, I’m in!! I could just drive across town and be there! But wow – I mean, WOW! – look at all the others who don’t live here who should have the chance. Oh my, you could really have a houseful! 😀 Yes! Count me in! We are moving to Wichita the first week of July from Indiana. I was hoping I’d see you in the Joann’s sometime! Yes, please. I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to come….but I can’t that weekend 🙁 wish my credit card balance wasn’t already so dang bigg :/ OHMYGOSH! Sounds like a dream weekend! For sure. And I am already in Kansas- bonus! Or do the cool kids say beast now? I am so old! YES I would love it if you would share some of your tips for planning a weekend. Some girl friends and I are planning our own out here on the east coast and would love any advise you could pass on! ooooooh sounds enticing. what if, um, you’re (and by you’re i mean I’M) not very crafty? as in clueless around glue guns and thread and buttons and such 🙁 i do bake and would be happy to observe, take photos, bake the whole gang vanilla scones and pumpkin bread and listen to awesome folks. xo Heck yeah! I can drive there, it’s just down the road from my in-laws. Woudl love to spend the weekend with you and other crafters! Hi Meg… Yes I would be in, yippee! I’m in SW MO so I could just hop over. It would probably be just me, ahhh, that makes me nervous to do something on my own, but what an AWESOME chance to make some craft friends! This mama needs a “me” trip and I think this would do the trick! MEGAN!!!! I want to come!!!! I see there are a MILLION people ahead of me but my father-in-law owns Barely Makin It in Marion so nothing else I would love to meet up with you girls and say hi when you visit the barn! YOU ARE MY FAVORITE PERSON EVER!!!!! I would love to come. I do not have any crafty friends that live near me that would do this. Flights are only $216 from Philly. I may have to go for the next one though. It is my 10yr anniversary this Nov and we may get a weekend away. With my husband just getting back on his feet after 1 1/2 years of no work, it may be tight. I love your blog meg. I talk about you to my family like they know you. “I got this recipe from Meg”. They think it is funny. Yes please! ME ME ME!!!! sign me up:) i’d LOVE to come as well! though i’m not sure you’ll have room for all of us. =] that would be so much fun!! sounds like an ideal weekend! What a fun idea. A weekend away from husband and child, and getting my craft on. Uh, yes please! It would be soooo fun!!! I want to go too! If I met you I would cry like a big dork. BUT, that’s okay because I know you would get it. 😉 LOL I would love to join you – got to check my calendar! Stinkola. I’m excited that I’ll be 37 weeks preggie at that point (yay!), but bummed that I can’t fly out to craft. I’ll look forward to your post about it, though! 🙂 Very fun, Meg! I’m going to watch airline ticket prices starting NOW! The Banana will be there!!! Sooo need some craft time with the ladies!!!! Oh my, yes! This spoke to my heart today. My husband is going on yet another guys’ weekend soon, and he pledged to fund a girlie getaway for me…I just have to pick what I want to do. Yes, yes, yes! I’d fly from CA to be with you! YES! i would love to come 🙂 OMGoodness. I can’t believe you are doing this.!?! You are, by far, the bravest woman I “know.” I am DYING to hear how this turns out. I have no extra vacation time this summer, so I’ll watch from this side of the computer screen. Knowing you (as I do) there will be LOTS of pics. I recently found your blog and LOVE reading it. Your posts inspire creativitly, it’s wonderful. Also loved reading about the last craft weekend, looks like such a good time. Can’t wait to read about the next one. I want to come!!!! please please pick me!! Oh how fabulously fun that would be! The hubs is always asking, when o tell him a story, I I know the person in real life or if they are one of my internet “friends”. It would be super cool to be able to get all crafty and say BOTH! That’s right before my birthday. What a PERFECT 30th birthday present!!! =) Are there direct flights to Kansas from Australia? Count me in! A craft weekend with you would be AMAZING! Uhhhh yes please! I think that would be really fun! And I would clean your kitchen! would so love to come! Never been to Kansas before! This sounds FUN! women, crafts and shopping what could be better. I just live a hop, skip and a jump away…whoohoo! are bribes allowed? 🙂 Would looooove a girly weekend away… That sounds like fun! I would love to come! I would love to come with my friend! We love junking and picking stuff off the road and doing something with it-love crafting-its right up our alley! Can’t wait to hear about the details! oh would so love to…and I would in a minute if I wouldn’t be too nervous meeting strangers, if I had enough money, and if I could handle missing football games and other kids activities that weekend…oh and I’m also not really crafty…although I would like to be 🙂 Oh, yeah, I’m in!!!! Absolutely! Sounds incredible. I would love to o me o my! yes, please! *standing on tippy toes, arm stretched as high as the sky-loudly saying* ME ME ME ME ME ME!!!!!! that weekend is perfect for me…. ahh man! I just checked with my husband because I knew we were going to visit his folks over Labor Day weekend (it really is going to be cool because ALL of the siblings and grandkids will be there, even the family who lives in Wales who I’ve only met at our wedding) and we don’t get back till the 11th. 🙁 Boo hoo hoo. But! I live so close to Kansas I can taste it now that we’re in Colorado so I would love to come to the next one! Kelly Booo…I’m doing an art fair that weekend 🙁 Otherwise I’d have been there in a heartbeat! I want to go! I have 3 kids age 7 and under and have never been away from them except the hospital to give birth. Seriously! Crafting is right up my ally! I would so come in a heart beat – as long as kids’ schedules allow or I can get coverage for them. 🙂 Details please! Yes please!! Yes, yes, yes. My husband is deploying in June and won’t be home until Christmas. This would be a perfect distraction to get me past the halfway mark! I’m anxious for details… Man. Wish I could make it. I’m sure you’ll all have a lovely time. Can’t wait for all the blog posts afterwards! I would so start saving my pennies!! Tell me more! Did you really even have to ask?! Of course people would love to come craft with you!! And that includes ME! YES, I can! Count me in! i think you should start a day early and come to crafts with the preschoolers. Wow, by the looks of the comments, you could auction off some spots and make a big.fat.killing on this Meg!:) Id love to come. In fact, my crazy(but safe)obsession with your first crafty weekend is what made me sign up for BlogSugar so I could meet you. And now you go and plan THIS for just a few weeks before. Ugh. I soooo wish I could come but the airfare to Cali from NY is gonna kill my budget as it is. This would be my dream weekend though. Count this Texas girl in!! 🙂 How fun! I’d love to learn some new skills! yes! i would love to! Oh my goodness! This would be a DREAM come true! I’m in like Errol Flynn! MY BESTIE AND WOULD LOVE TO COME!!!!! We love you Meg!!! We have often thought about stopping by to see you.(just joking)But seriously, Missouri (where we live) is not that far from you!!! I am in love with your style!!! Rainbows are my fav!!! Can’t wait for more details!!!! What website did you use to make those cute graphic signs on this post? Yes! Count me in! Totally interested! Oh I SOOOO wish I still lived in Wichita, I would SO be there! 🙂 Sounds like fun! I’d love to do something like this if there is slot available. As an Olathe KS girl it would be just a hop, skip and a jump away for me. Fun fun!! 🙂 I would love to come!! I would drive from the middle of Missouri to get crafty with ya’ll!! I would love to come. I also have a wee girl (she’ll be about 7 months old by then) and she’ll have to come with me. 🙂 Um yes! Sign me up! heck yes! This would be amazing!!!! I am due at the very end of October so this would be a fun get-a-way before baby!!! Amazing! I want to come too! When will you let us know!? Oh man! I would love love to be able to come! Definitely do more than one…if you can handle us! Love you Meg…is that weird to love a blog and blogger you have never met (or even commented on) before. Omg, I would totally try to come! I just moved to Kansas from San Diego, and my family would always plan craft weekends – so I’ve been craving one! But none of my new friends here are much of crafters…. Oh wow!!!! I actually COULD come….my hubby has those days off…and that is a HUGE thing…he has to schedule his vacations like a year in advance??!!!!!!! Hmmm, are you already full??? I soooo want to come!!!!! I’m very close to Kansas so this would be very doable and SO awesome! BUT…. does one need to be crafty to attend craft weekend? ;o) I’m good at copying other people’s ideas, but not coming up with my own. i really, really want to come! (even though i would probably cry on the way there because meeting new people scares me!) 🙂 your craft weekend is my daydreams when my boys are driving me bonkers. It would be a perfect solo-journey for me 🙂 this mama needs it! Kansas is a long way from Alabama but when i read your blog, i feel more like we’re neighbors! I think you must be a southerner at heart! I have thought about a crafting weekend for friends at my house… would love to experience one at yours first! What an amazing treat that would be. Thanks for thinking of those of us who were green eyed monsters when we read your post about “craft weekend with your bloggy friends”! Oh my goodness…I would love to and maybe bring a friend…I will have to see about the details and cost. I am in Ga so as soon as you have details so I can check prices. I AM SO THERE! ooh – can’t wait for the details! that would be a fun trip to try and swing!! and after all…SC to Kansas isn’t really that far, is it? 😉 I want to come..its a little drive from Texas..how fun! Looks like you will need to get a bigger house with so many wanting to come! I’m in! I remember. 🙂 Me!! I want to come!!! I will be done nursing then! And Girlfriend I have been preggers or nursing CONTINUOUSLY since June 2004. No joke. I am ready to GET AWAY!!! YES! Good thing I’m in Kansas and super close!!!! that sounds like a total blast. I’ll see if I can swing it! I live really far away, but when we meet and you find out where i live, you’re going to want to come to my house, and quickly. You’re amazing for going through with this. Love the design of this post, too. I would love to come but my baby will be a month old. But it may be doable!!! Please keep us posted!!! I’m in the Texas Panhandle and would love to come! oh what fun! I would love to come! I want to come!! Have to check the hubby’s work schedule so he can watch our kiddos!! that would be wickedly awesome! I would love to come … and alone! Just me … ME ME ME! 🙂 YES!!!! That would be amazing! I want to come!! Oh my goodness. I sooo want to do this!!! Would love to meet you and be crafty together! It would be so BEAST!(did I use that word right?) That sounds like SO much fun! You could host them once a month and fill up the spots easy peasy every time!!! OOOooooo. OOOOOooo. I wanna come! Maybe even bring my sisters!!! I’m guessing that it will be a big resounding Y- E- S from all of us who follow you! Would I get some art hints from your kids too? 🙂 Sounds like so much fun!!! What an awesome idea!! I’d love to spend a weekend crafting. I would love to meet some crafty people. =) YES!!! I already told my husband back when you first mentioned it. WooHoo! Can I bring a baby!?!?! I doubt I can afford it, but I would die to come play! Would SO love to… I could come! Yes! I’m not a blogger, but I read a ton of them. Yours is my favorite! I’m recovering from a double mastectomy and I can tell you now, I need a break from the real world. A crafting weekend sounds perfect! Can’t wait to get the details. Meeeeee…… OMGSH!!! Details please…..this tired mama needs some girly time away! Meeeee…. Tooooo…. More details please …… Ohhhh yes please! September is my birthday month so it could be a birthday gift to myself! This sounds right up my alley…ahhh! 😉 no way! i totally had a dream about a craft weekend with you LAST NIGHT!!! i was up most of the night with a sick baby, so my sleep was in spurts with strange dreams all mixed in throughout. and i promise, this was one of them!! i went to your house with a bunch of my high school and college friends and we had to whisper the entire time. you had a puppy named “puppy”. (never said my dreams are original!). i don’t remember what we made but before it was over, i had color coordinated all your craft supplies! 🙂 Fun! I would love to craft and meet you ( and Waffle?). Awesome! that weekend doesn’t work for me, BOO. you’ll sell out in no time. if my plans change–i’ll look for tix on stub hub. hahaha, or maybe scalpers in your yard? 🙂 (that’s kind of creepy–sorry–no scalpers) I would definitely drive the 10+ hours to be there! Exciting!! can you believe i already have something planned that weekend!? it’s MONTHS away. DANG IT!!!!!! you all will have SO much fun. craft weekend = my dream. I would love to come, but I live in Australia and I don’t think I could fly over for just the weekend. Maybe sometime in the future. okay…well THAT sounds fun 🙂 OHHH MYYYY GODDD !!! HOW I WISH I COULD GOOOO AND MEET YOU….But I live in Brazil !!!! Is a land far, far away from Kansas…It’s a bummer !! I’m sad for myself but very happy (and a little bit jealous…rsrs) for those who will go… I am already in Kansas… I would totally love to come! And I even have a couple of friends who might be interested! Very tempting indeed! Would need more details to know if we can swing it in our budget but would certainly be interested!! xoxo ML That’s a silly question, of course I’d love to come!! Heck yeah! That barn has been calling my name! I want to come and meet you most of all…can’t wait to hear more about it! Count me in! |
