Last night I got to go
to Lisa's house for a
Christmas crafting night ~ It is
so much fun to get together with
people who "get" the same stuff that
you do ~
Her house was recently in the
Dallas Morning News with some
beautiful pictures of her holiday decor ~
Well needless to say I knew that
I would pretty much not get any crafting
done because I really wanted to
look at all of her beautiful
Christmas decorating and awesome
vintage vignettes everywhere ~
Here are just a few of them ~
~ this is above the bathtub ~
~ this is the top of her headboard
with a mirror above it ~
It ended up that everyone pretty
much admired her home in awe, ate, chatted
and watched Charlene make
a necklace for Lisa out of some
of Lisa's vintage finds ~
I have been wanting to make a
necklace with an old coin purse
for awhile so it was really fun to watch ~
Right before we left Cindy
had Lisa autograph her copy
of the newspaper ❤ ~
We were totally goofing around
with having her sign the paper
just because it was too fun ~
You've gotta love crafting with friends!

Great photos and I always love to get together with my gal pals for craft night! I made a change/coin purse necklace and wear it all the time...some people 'get it' and others don't...oh well, that is what makes life so interesting! Thanx for sharing your night out. Tiffany

Niech te Święta przyniosą Ci w prezencie to czego najbardziej pragniesz.To "coś" nie musi być ani widoczne ani dotykalne...może nawet nie pachnieć.Ale niech będzie CZYMŚ bez czego nie można i nie warto żyć.
Zdrowych i pogodnych Świąt życzy Dorota z Sielankowego Dziergania

Lori, I TOTALLY know what you mean about "arting" with friends who "get" you. I have only a couple of friends like this in the area and I don't get to do as much with them as often as I would like. But, when we do, I always have the BEST time. I guess we all have different friends for different things. I often find, however, that the friends with whom I spend time "arting", seem to be the ones I most want to spend more time with. I think it's because with a mutual appreciation of the craft, there is a deeper connection. Art is real. Art is pure. And no one has to pretend because every person's art is their own, as it should be. Next time you do something fun, give me a holler! I'd love to come hang with you. :) Glad you had a great time. BTW, I'm SURE your home is every bit as lovely as Lisa's.
