the creative connection event

    (... and a great pair of walking shoes instead of high heels, and a fatter checkbook... but ya, we had the love :) 

It was wonderful! I am so glad I went to the creative connection event. Sorry it has taken me so long to get back here. Extra busy here these past few days. And it always takes me a day or two just to get my feet back on the ground after a trip-- especially a trip like this... there was so much to learn, do and see.  And meeting blog friends for the first time was such a highlight. (Meleen, I love your New York accent, and I could listen to you say "Kwaaffee" all day long.)

My only regret was not taking more photos. I forgot and left my camera in my room one day, and I just didn't seem to be in picture taking mode most of the time. I was in "running to class late" mode most of the time. It was a pretty packed schedule, but in between I took a few photos of the handmade market.


 

I met Jana from brown-eyed girl photography at the TCC.  And if you actually want to see  great professional photography of the event, stop by her blog. She documents it all very well. 

I took only one crafting class, there were so many business classes I wanted to take instead. But the class I did take was wonderful-- making heritage toys with Jenn Murphy and her lovely mom, Pat.

 
I am now the proud new mom of a mohair bunny with fully jointed arms... and a big attitude (we decided :) 

What a whirlwind of a few days.... whew. I've got new wind in my sails-- it was so inspiring to meet so many passionately creative women. Kudos to Jo and Nancy and their army of volunteers!!

*And Kudos to my husband for coming with me (because he knows how much I hate to travel alone) and braving all that estrogen exposure! :)

I'm still feeling happy when I think of the great time you had. I think that's one of the best things about friendship---feeling joy because your friend is joyful. :)

Hope you get some recooperative R&R and look forward to seeing what new creative things you have up your sleeves!
