This necklace is simply magical...love the bird shapes and the surprise is that the centerpiece spins...oh la la!!!
The morning started off with Sally's special collaging techniques to make the backgrounds we would be using for our pieces. Love her prompts and working quickly without thinking about the art...everyone is always amazed at what they can do when they free themselves to creating. Lunch was those delicious Panera sandwiches and I had my Veggie again...yummy...and darn those "too good at adding those pounds to my bum" toffee cookies....wish they weren't so delicious!
Everyone working hard soldering their pieces together.

We celebrated Gwen's birthday...taking Sally's workshops were her birthday gift to herself and she flew all the way to San Diego from Memphis, TN.
Here is our whole group...our last workshop for this session. I loved hosting all of the beautiful women who came to play with Sally and me. It does my soul good to be surrounded by creative women and connecting with those who live close by. I felt very bless to have you all come and share together. Special thanks to the following girls for their thoughtfulness...
Susie & Dana...for the gorgeous red roses that you sent...they graced our snack table with beauty...how did you know that red was my favorite color!?!
Juli...for the new Swell Season CD...love the music and the yummy "red" tea cup and Starbucks tea...perfect for those cooler evenings this winter.
Carolyn...for the delicious Hawaiian goodies...makes me homesick!
Gwen...for the beautiful handmade book...love it!
Erin, Sheryl & Helene...for the lovely flower hair band...so comfortable & perfect now that I'm growing my hair out!
Alicia...for the beautiful glass cupcake & cherry ornaments...the cherry one is hanging from my chandie & for the special cHanukkah song collection...so precious!
Vickie...for the beautiful white roses...please don't give the cover another thought! I mean it! *smile*
A special thank you to all who purchased my mermaid necklaces and bracelets...it meant so much!
For those of you who put your name on the list for the longer dolly necklaces...they are almost done and should be up by Sunday night...I will send you an e-mail.
The biggest thank you of all to my BBF, Sally. Thank you for coming down and teaching your workshops at my home. It's been a long time coming but it came and passed too quickly. We had too many giggles, Cosmos, shopping, lots of talking, watching The Ugly Truth and all of Gerry's interviews...I know he's starting to grow on you! LOL!!! And just doing all the things BBF's do.
You are the best and can't wait till March 2010 for your return engagement!
