Seven of us stayed at a friend's lake home and wound up learning new crafts, techniques and created several new holiday pieces. It's such a terrific way to work and we were really very productive. Also - very tired! Now I am all inspired, but with far too many ideas than I can even dream of accomplishing. until next week, Happy Crafting!
