Gypsy tags, Autumn banner and Gypsy book cover

These are some of the projects we did on my retreat last weekend. Diann did the tags and Jeri gave us some gypsy pictures and we each did a tag and then traded them. My tag is now in my book.

The front of my Gypsy book is pictured here. I will post pictures of the entire book whenever I finish it.

Charlotte and I planned and put the banners into kits for all of us to do at the retreat. I am enjoying this pretty banner in my dining room.

Smokey Mt Retreat

Where does the time go when you're having fun?

We laughed so much that I am just beginning to recover from the most wonderful weekend

in the Smokey Mountains with a great group of girls. We has a beautiful log cabin in the mountains overlooking Maggie Valley.

This is the view from our deck.

I'll have to put the banner we did and the book that I'm working on in another post.

Wish I could be this pampered and have that much fun all the time. It was a great weekend!

Thanks so much to Jeri for organizing this weekend and to our cooks who keep us stuffed with the best food you can imagine.

I tried really hard to get everyone's name with their pictures but after much editing I still could not get the names to turn out with the pictures. The first picture is Kathy (Vanna), a picture of all of us, Barbara and Joanne - our wonderful cooks, Linda, Kathy's finger watch, Eugenia, Autumn, Diann, Charlotte, Roxanna, Mary, me, and Jerri - the organizer of the retreat.

punk - Think Monday - Think ATC

Punk and grunge sort of go together in my mind so I did this punk girl with her broken heart and a Janice Joplin song for this week's challenge which was punk on Think Monday-Think ATC.

Day of the Dead ATC and domino

This is my Day of the Dead ATC and domino. This is a swap that my online art group, AAWA is doing. I put a mini domino and a heart on my ATC to show that this was a dearly departed one.

Cards for our troops and Youth rehab

Our online art group, An Affair with Art - AAWA is doing cards
