my projects from silver bella

This is how I started my weekend. This is the first thing I was greeted by.
Max the Cat made by Jennifer Murphy sat on my table during her snowman clip ornament class. I am so in love! Look at his sweet face. I wanted to take him home, but someone else beat me to it!
This is me with Jennifer after her class. This is also me awake at 9am. For maybe the 3rd time in my adult life.
Pam Garrison’s Holly Days Countdown wreath class was fun–she spread out ALL these vintage materials and supplies on a front table for us to run our hands over and pick through. It felt like kindergarten.
Pam also passed around two of her inspiration journals and each page was so awe-inspiring. This was my favorite so I snapped a little photo…I felt like a little thief there shyly snapping one photo of this page and then dropping my camera in my bag. I wish I could draw like that.
In my last class of the event on Saturday afternoon, I was with Jennifer again making a little pom pom bird in a shadowbox. Here are all of the projects from our work table…
I sat next to Meg Duerksen
Things I don’t have photos of because I figured I’d just nab some off Flickr later:
…Jo Packham’s keynote speech that brought me to tears. I wish it could have been about 30 minutes longer and I wish we could have had time to ask questions.
…Kaari Meng‘s expert jewelrymaking class
…All of the bella swaps, where the ladies created handmade items ranging from charms to books to aprons to share with their friends
…The opening class hosted by Fiskars
…The generous swag bags made of vintage fabric and stuffed with amazing goodies!
Finally, here are some final pictures of the projects I made:

Hey Girlie, it was so wonderful seeing you again! It’s hard to believe it’s been 4 yrs now. Wish we could’ve spent more time together but I loved looking at your photogs & reliving SB memories through you. Your projects turned out adorably as always!!

I love the wreath!
.
I’ve started to make one similar last winter and didn’t finish it!! What was I thinking? Wreaths are a totally cozy addition for fall and winter decorating
Now I need to finish it!

It looks like so much fun.
