The weekend!
We're almost there, and with it comes
sunshine, grilling, junking and just plain relaxing!
For me?
A combination of all of the above,
as well as starting to get ready for
my next adventure...
Paper Cowgirl Altered Art Retreat
That's right, this non-paper-crafty gal is going to a three day retreat
surrounded by nothing but paper-crafty gals!

( no offense to third graders )
More than likely!
But I don't care, I'm just gonna go with the intention of having FUN!
Just need to get my supplies together, hit up the crafting and scrapbooking shops
to actually purchase said supplies, maybe practice some basic techniques
to get up to speed with the rest of the gals abilities, and then....
PARTY TIME!
But for now?
The checkbook is crying out to be balanced,
and the bed is showing no signs of making itself, so off I go.

I'm so jealous! I just started scrapbooking this last year and have only done a few pages, but I love it! You will, too - I'm sure.
Have fun and good luck getting everything ready to go. :)
Sounds fun, have a good time.
Sounds like a fun weekend lineup. Well, minus that check balancing thing. Have a wonderful time!
Oh that sounds like great fun. I love to scrapbook but haven't done much lately. Enjoy!
Enjoy your weekend! How wonderful to be able to invite your creative spirit to come out and play. Will you post what you have made when you get back? I would love to see your handiwork.
xoxo,
Anne

I'm so jealous of those other paper girl cowboys that get to meet and play with YOU!!! I know that you will have a blast using all of your natural creative abilities....and getting lost in the process....that should be VERY relaxing. Can't wait to see what you make. Loads of love to you and have fun for both of us! xx Suzanne
PS: The necklace from my post was given to me in April, my b-day month. I'm an Aries : )!
Dear Anne,
how great, and so wonderfull for you, I would soooo love to join into this adventure, where also my dear friend Lisa, from Tarnished and Tattered are doing a class,-you are just sooo lucky, sweet.I`m sure you will create some very lovely pieces of paper art.
Hugs and love, Dorthe
Sounds great !!!! have a happy time!!! enjoy your weekend !!! hugs from me...Ria
Fun cowgirls. I wanted to be a cowgirl instead of a princess when I was little.
I am so jealous that you get to go for this fab weekend. I know you will have such a wonderful time and you will be amazed at what you create. It would be worth hanging out with Lisa & Jodie and create nothing. You are going to have a blast.

Anne,
Did you say balance the checkbook? I don't think I've done that since 1990. LOL, looking back that may account for a lot! I am SO excited for PC, I'm glad you came back off the ledge, I was worried you'd back out! LOL We are going to have some good fun. I think I forgot to register for your giveaway, I'm going to check that out now. Lisa
I can't wait to meet you in person (FINALY) at Paper Cowgirls! How many/which classes are you taking? I'm doing the digi class & Book Pockets on Saturday. I'll be at the opening night get together & all day Saturday/Vendor Night. Can't wait. Have a great weekend.

Love the cowgirl pictures! Thanks for visiting---and yes, the big fountain is still at NorthPark Mall---the stores may have changed and everything's gotten a facelift, but the fountain area is still a great place to sit, rest your feet, and people-watch! Have fun getting ready for the art retreat! As for our weekend, we just got back from a sweet, rustic, outdoor wedding out in the country! it was fun! Patti

Thank you for your beautful 'Hands' post. What a lovely tribute.
hugs to you cute one
Hi there! Hope your wkend was a great one! Your macro flower photography is spot on.. fab! :)) I used to do the scrappin' thing years ago.. but, I ended up just shopping for paper & embellishments & never actually got any scrapbooking done.. hence it was a good decision for me to quit that.. I'm still addicted to pretty paper, punches, yada, yada.. but like to use them for different purposes. ;)) Hope you had fun & I'm sure you are wayyy better than a
third grader! lara x
Hi Anne!
I'm going to Paper Cowgirl too! Can't wait to meet you!
I don't do scrapbookin' in a traditional sense (I've made the odd page or two for gifts)but I do like to use paper in many of my artworks. I love your blog and have it on my blog's Inspiration List at http://calsidyrose-elranchonotsogrande.blogspot.com/
See you in a couple weeks!
