This past Saturday I had the most incredible day! It was the Paper Cowgirl Art Retreat in Waxahachie, Texas! A fun filled day that was appropriately titled CAMP WHIMSY! The picture above is of the centerpiece on the classroom tables, the colors for the event were pink and aqua...my personal favs! I may have to do the event in several posts, seems typepad will only let me load about three pics before it goes on the blink. This is my fourth attempt to post on the event! If you have not attended this event, it is well worth the drive, Cindy and Tina gather a great group of gals and the day is jamm packed with creative goodness. I was fortunate to be asked to teach at this one. There were three classes and at the end of each class, the ladies earned a "badge", kinda like girl scouts! Cindy had treats that she and Joanna had created for each girl and they had a breakfast spread to start the day with these great little muffins and Joanna's homemade pumpkin bread, all that with a steamin cup of coffee and some great conversation with the other girls.....a great start to a great day!
Then it was on to the first class...Cupcake Whimsy! Here is a sneak peek at the class kit, it had all the supplies needed, canvas, vintage paper, scrapbook paper, brushes, modge podge, even a little hot pink goodie bag filled with chocolate biscotti to savour with some coffee!
Some of the ladies I knew from the last Paper Cowgirl, some were first time attendees, but all were so fun to spend the day with! We laughed, we created, we shared helpful tips....and we had a great time just makin art!
I am going to end this post and start a new one just so I do not loose it again, so stay tuned for more pics of the event and all the classes and the finished projects....incredible fun projects!!
Oh what fun it was! It was so nice meeting you Sandra...thanks for everything! My cupcake paiting is soo cute & what a neat technique!
