My beautiful sister, who is an amazing artist, Kathy, and I are going to Silver Bella for an encore round. Our first year was 2007, and we had so much fun! It is still in Omaha, NE, but this time it’s at a different hotel in the quaint village area that we did not get to see enough of last time, so we are extra excited about that part! Also this year, I am trying “swaps” for my first time, and I’ve bravely signed up for not one, but three! By the SB weekend in the fall, I should be properly warmed up for all of the glittery fun and crafting excitement/enlightenment! I cannot wait! But the magic has already begun! I actually won a random drawing, and a lovely and talented Bella named Sheila, who was generous enough to sponsor the winner’s prize, sent me the below glorious package of goodies which was oh so prettily wrapped…and presented tucked into the most amazing vintage glove!
How did I get so lucky? Thank you so much Sheila! I can’t wait to meet you in November! Now I have to get busy on winter banner making, paper doll making, and embroidery for my swaps! An amazing store, Paper-Source, has a tagline, “Do something creative every day.” I am going to try hard to live by this – not an easy task for a single working mom, but a worthwhile endeavor for sure!
