"The Keeping Room" filled with bunches of fun all Saturday afternoon!

 

Angel food cup cakes, chex mix, hot coco and teas ready for the artists

The Scrapbook/Card  Workshop 101 was so much fun however...I can't refer to it as a workshop because all of the ladies knew what they were doing...and GOOD at it too! I learned watching them and liked watching them help one another. One of the things I learned is that the colors red and turquoise look good together! We enjoyed some of my friend's 'Sally sings' CDs and one another's company the whole afternoon. An extra blessing for me was a surprise visit and from a friend who came into the store who I haven't seen for ages.

One of my friends brought her young son and it was a 'hoot' watching the two of them scrap book a Halloween Memory page which turned out Spooktactular! I did get some words and phrases for some of the different topics for cards & memory pages and unfortunately they were buried under other art I prepared. Oh well...I guess I'll be set for the next year's 'St. Valentine's Day'.

The day was blessed with sunshine and I didn't hear one complaint about the huge piles of snow on the street in front of the store. Everyone said 'We just walked around it'.

The very best part of my day was visiting with friends and hearing all about their memories and these ladies had some amazing creating ideas. To mention a few...Becky using golden threads for the wheat she remembered as a child growing up in the country. Pamela...a bag of maps....memories...and that great big cute Mickey Mouse plastic rain coat she saved from Walt Disney World I believe. So interesting!

My heart felt thanks to all who came. May the love you put into your cards and memory pages...come back to you on St. Valentine's day.
 

(Hope to include some neat pictures soon)
