come play june...

i have finally recovered from our june playtime
it was a nice thing to recover from
much better than pneumonia or something:)
what a blast we had
so many great girls!
so many fun projects!
so many things to buy!

i get to announce our raffle winner
becky troxil!
hooray becky!
she gets the whole passport collection from making memories
delivered to her door!

(note to self: when organizing an event
full of artsy ladies
make sure the batteries in your camera are charged!

saturday morning crew

saturday afternoon bunch...a weekend full of cuteness i tell you...
:)

thanks, girls
for coming with excitement
being willing to try something new
& just being so darn fun:)

thanks to everyone involved in this little endeavor
(manufacturers, friends, families)
we are having fun trying new things
& learning along the way:)

& another big thank you to
everyone who drove (or flew)
out of your zip code to come play with us
we are honored that you would take time
to come over...

bonus...
we have a new picture up there on the sidebar
aprons & all
:)

come back soon...
i will be announcing all of the details
for our september come play time!
i am so excited for it
i can't wait to share!

see you soon...
:)

sneak peek...

some great ephemera that jill has been preparing

& a super cool thing!
Making Memories has generously given us
a complete set of their passport collection
the collection that was the starting point for ali’s kit…
we will have a drawing & give the entire collection away this weekend!
everyone will be entered in the drawing one time
but if you were the reason that someone else attended the class
you will get another chance in the drawing!
i have all of the emails that i received from everyone
so if you mentioned someone else’s name
& they are coming too
you are entered in once twice or three times
(actually shelly, who friday night girls will get to play with, invited four people who are coming! plus she is attending
so she will have five chances to win!)
& even though we are coming up on the play time quick
there are still a few spots open for Saturday morning & Saturday afternoon
so let your friends know
& have them mention your name…
you could be rolling in the supplies very soon:)

hooray!
see you all soon...

Tinkering Ink Peekabook Chipboard & Acrylic Album

in jill's always adorably decorated home
*drawings for cool products
*the time to hang out with other creative kids like you!
too fun!

you will have plenty of time to shop through
the new creative boutique

tricia always brings loads of good stuff
& jill displays it so beautifully...
we are excited for it to have a room of it's own this time!

& while you are playing with all of the crafty goodness
you will be working up quite an appetite right?
i certainly hope so
because we've got some great food for you...
friday night & saturday afternoon our sweet helpers
