Naturally Optimistic

The Return of Craftapalooza was last night. I don't think it has happened since Nov of '07. Wow. How has time gone that fast! It was fun - there were 4 of us, lots of good food & wine and crafting. A couple knitters (hi Anna!), a drawer and me doing some scrapbook stuff. I of course drank probably one glass of wine too many (? one?) and just talked my head off. Blech. I hate that. Ugh. Ah well, shake it off. Get over your garrulous self and move one, right?

October Craftapalooza was a success! There were 6 of us all working on different projects - cards, scrapbooking, collage making, ribbon making, knitting, sketching. We ate wild rice soup, hummus, huge cookies, apples with apple dip, chicken wings & drummies and pumpkin cookies. I was a prolific card maker last night (13!) which was great and it was so much fun to sit and chat with everyone and take time to just be creative & productive. It is inspiring to get busy on my other projects and cross some more gifts off my "to-do" list.

Craftapalooza was a success! 2 of 13 came but that didn't matter. We ate loads of food, chatted a whole lot and got some work done on crafty and/or arty projects. I made cards (above), Tanya worked on her scrapbook and Erin worked on some masks which have been WIPs for far too long. It was nice to just play for a few hours even though my allergies kept me fairly miserable feeling for most of the evening. I have left my supplies out and hope I can get a few more cards made before stashing everything away again.
