Had a wonderful weekend with Stephanie and the crafters at Grove's! Creative Inspiration was awesome and "it was a Beautiful weekend in Pennsylvania"! Did I say we had a WONDERFUL weekend with Stephanie Ackerman???? Well, we did and I may have to say it a few more times because I just can't believe it's gone already! I soooo miss the fun of the weekend and actually getting to take in the fun stuff surrounding us in the little Central PA town! So nice to share it with Stephanie! We visited some local sights and some family places too and even got to see a LIVE buck grazing in the fields...we had seen quite a few "not so much alive" along the road up to that point - road kill - you know it's "the rut"...the season prior to hunting season in PA when these 4 legged creatures truly become "deer in headlights"!!! Glad Stephanie got to see at least one alive in the fields. In true holiday fashion we traveled "over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house!" Had this photo snapped as proof!
As if the weekend already wasn't special enough, full of creativity, inspiration, friendship, comraderie ...there was this.... a beautiful piece of "hand stitched felt goodness" by Stephanie herself! I couldn't believe my eyes...gorgeous...Thank You, Thank You! I haven't been able to place it on the tree yet... but it will find it's way there soon, I promise! I just keep looking at it and getting more inspired. Had to create the heart ornament for mom!!! We'll be making a trip to the Felt store this weekend!!!! I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it! Look forward to doing more this weekend and to adding bits and pieces of "Felt Goodness" to my Christmas Countdown books too!
Here's to special friends with awesome Inspiration! Many Thanks Stephanie and the Grove's crafters! Look forward to the next visit and the arrival of the next season!!!
Road kill...yellow tops..oyster crackers..Hoss's...train tracks...so many memories, oh and I will email you because I want to get more felt, duh!
