: more : silver : bella :

Well what do ya know...I have more Silver Bella to share! I don't quite have pictures of everything but I thought I'd keep this going...

So I know Silver Bella tends to be Christmas themed but I sure wasn't expecting all the presents and treats that I received! Wonderful, thoughtful gifts from very special friends and amazing gifts from the gorgeous talented ladies that participated in the fabric fatbook.

Here are some pix...

I don't even think this is all of them...there was some toffee that Kana gave me and that already got opened up! :-)

This is a gift I received even before I left for Silver Bella. My sweet friend Genevieve made it for me and gave it to me when we were both at ComePlay: Portland! It sat on top of a jar of Hersey Kisses but those disappeared when my daughter came over for a visit. :-)

From Cheryl...

FromSandy...

From Kari...

From Marie Jenkins...

Seriously...this hat is amazing!!!!

Oh my oh my there's so much more. I wish I could give a shout out to everyone but truth is, I messed up and some of the stuff I received I separated from the card of telling who sent/gave it to me! I'm such a dork!!! I just LOVE everything so from the bottom of my heart, thank you each sweet darling who gave me a gift. It was SOOOO like Christmas! :-)

So there's more...the bounty of goodies that were in the bag from the Silver Bella sponsors was bottomless...

Wow wow and wow!!

So on to the classes...they were all SENSATIONAL! My first class on Friday was creating a Cigar Box Shrine with Rebecca Sower.

Then I had Jen Murphy's Snowman Clip Ornament class. I LOVED this project!!! This is a new medium for me too so I was super happy!

Next up was Kaari Meng's Vintage Rosary Necklace but that was the only project I didn't finish. I left class early to go set up my vendor table! :-)

On Saturday, my first class was another Rebecca Sower class (I can NEVER learn enough from her!). The class was HodgePodge Journal which is SOOOO up my alley!

Then my last class was another Kaari Meng class...vintage charm bracelet. I finished this project but haven't found the bracelet yet to take a pic! Here is a pic of the project which I lifted from Jodie LeJuene's site which she got from Teresa McFayden.

Okay so I gotta go boogie and finish up some stuff to prep for the week. It's a short week so yeee-haw!! I still have lots and lots of swapness to share so I'll be back very soon!
