We took a break this weekend and decided to go to the Renaissance Festival on Saturday after a long week of packers in our house. It was a great time for the kids to get away from the mundane moving process that I so dislike. The Ren Fest is one of my FAV places to go because there is so much creativity that surrounds you. People are free and use their imaginations! I truly love this place. We have gone every year since we've lived here. I really wanted to dress the part this year but it just wasn't in the cards. Next year for sure.
First, the packers…. they were great but took forever. Imagine that. Those of you that have been in my home know that we have a ton of stuff. Friday the packers were here until 9pm. I was a little miffed to say the least. We were all WIPED! My house obviously looks like a chaotic mess. The stamp room…
Just not a pretty site. In just a few short weeks it will look back to normal. I feel pretty confident.
Now, back to the fun at the fair and then I promise a pretty card that will give you warm fuzzies.
Besides the Pirates I love the fairy's. They always look amazing.
Loved seeing this family of fairy's. That little one was just PRECIOUS. My kids received beautiful dragon tears from them.
OF course a little face painting. I thought this was the best painting Alexis has ever had. The lady was amazing.
What's a Ren Fair without a little Bad Girl action? Cathy and I had to get a Henna Tat! I get one every year. I love them. I love the artists. The lady that did mine actually stamps on Domino's. We had a great conversation and she was a lovely gypsy!
Time for my own artwork. It's time to start showing you what I have been working on the last two weeks. It really was non stop stamping. I have many things to share over the next two weeks during the move. All NEW stuff to get you excited with the upcoming catalog. I think you will likey!
This card uses both Old and New. I used the new Newsprint Designer Series Paper with the Perfect Punches stamp set. I love how this card is elegant and fluffy. The ribbon will carry over into the new catalog. SO thankful. I did a little sewing with this card. Then I got really crazy. I actually took the Itty Bitty Buttons and sewn those onto the ribbon. They are the little heart buttons. I love how these are clear and can go with just about any card. The center Fleurette will also be in the new catalog. I love these little flowers because you can dye them any color you need. Great embellishment.
Well, Monday is loading day. I am sure they will be here ALL day but it will all be GREAT. 🙂
XOXOXO
