as suspected….this group of girls was wonderful.
🙂
it’s so much fun getting to make new friends!
they came from all over again this month…with only one major flight delay…so glad you made it sunny!
we had lots of instagrammers this month.
it is fun to help newbies get started on a new addiction.
i used their pictures from the #whatevercraftweekend group to make some collages.

looks like fun doesn’t it?!
we made our aprons on friday night.
this group was quick…several of them were finished before 11:30! that’s unheard of at craft weekend!
🙂
we tried something a little crazy with this group… a late night donut run!
our little local donut shop opens at 11:30 PM on friday nights with hot fresh donuts.
it felt pretty crazy getting the van to go somewhere that late.
like we were wild kids….just like all the kids that were AT the donut shop.
it was yummy and fun!
our saturday at the antique store and barn was SO WINDY!
ridiculous kansas wind.
but these girls did just fine finding all kinds of lovely treasures to take home.
kimberlee scored vintage ornaments for $1.00 at the thrift store down the street.
they were the prettiest colors…pink, yellow and orange!!!
we are quite a sight when we pull into town every month.
chippy paint makes me so happy.
lauren found this quilt and said she is going to recover the seat in her old truck with it!
that is a dreamy idea.
so creative.
becky had a hard time deciding on this owl… i am glad she got it.
it’s unique and sweet.

paige snagged the quilt i pick up every time i am there.
i have almost gotten it so many times.
but it was meant for her… i am so happy she is loving on it at her house.
then it’s back to crafting!
they spent all saturday evening making beautiful projects and laughing and talking.
saturday night is my favorite part of Craft Weekend… no one is nervous and they get really creative.
Megan lead a hoop art project that was so cute!
everyone’s was different… i love seeing that.
i need way more glitter next time. 🙂
megan also taught us how to cover big bracelets with recylced sweaters.
i loved all of them!
the t-shirt flowers are so fun to make!
i love these covered button necklaces… soooo much!
adorable right?
i love every single set of the J-O-Y words.
a few chose to cover them with non-christmas fabrics to keep them up all year.
the ruffle aprons are the most cheerful pictures every month!

roomies….. seven of them meeting each other for the first time on friday night!

becky & megan were our helpers for the weekend….and our roomies.

they were lots of fun to meet in real life!

there was amazing delicious food from kimberlee.
she cooks for 15 women like it’s no big deal at all….she is an inspiration.
i love to eat anything she cooks.
and my extra weight i have gained this year is proof of 11 WONDERFUL craft weekends.
but apparently i was so busy EATING her meals that i took no pictures.
lame.
trust me…D E L I C I O U S!!!
i am so grateful for kimberlee and all her HARD work.
she does so much for each weekend to flow smoothly.
i just adore her.
and somehow we ended up with NO pictures of the two of us together.
except this one….
the wind on saturday was unbelievable…i think we captured it perfectly!
well….a year has come and gone since we began this crazy Craft Weekend adventure.
it’s wild!!!
it’s so much more amazing than i dreamed it would be.
i love that God has brought so many absolutely beautiful women into my life.
i feel so blessed.
we have so much fun!!
but this is just the beginning!
we have so much more in the works for 2013 and beyond.
i can’t wait to share with you what we re dreaming up.
