packing/sharing supplies ?s

Hi Ladies...I posted this on Wiggio but am also posting it here,since some people don't seem to get the Wiggio posts...

Just trying to get a box ready to be shipped down...just double checking on a few things,to save packing space(cause I am staying on as usual in Siesta Key,hence my suitcase will be fuller than most!)......my brain is still in Africa,I think!

So,if I remember,Elena got enough duck cloth for everyone,but we still all bring our own muslin?

Eileen,do we all need to bring our Gelli plates for your washi tape lesson,or can we share?  Same for the Pearl Ex???(What if everyone brings a different color instead of everyone packing 2-3...my faves are True Blue and Spring Green...I'll bring those or one of them)

We don't need to bring acrylic paint?...I remember Lill sent some down??

Anyone want to share my Silks acrylic blue and greens? I have Iris Petal and Ocean Wave blues,and Olive Vine...

Daisy,I don't see what we need for your cuff class???

Anyone else need to share stuff,let me know...I'll be glad to do it!
thanks.XO Sue

Shanks for the Memories

I went on a shank button shopping spree today. Only 2 styles are in my color palette, but I couldn't resist these beauties. There's even a cameo shank button. And those starfish insisted on joining the others. I hope I can incorporate the tassels in the journal. Otherwise I'll have to wear them.

....

I am waiting for a couple more things and we are READY TO GO!

We are in March!!!!

When we first start putting the retreat together, it seems like it is so far away.  Sometimes I tell myself that it's too soon to start.  And then, all of a sudden, it's here!  Unfortunately, like every event that you look forward to, it goes by very quickly.  We are so blessed to have this event to look forward to every year.

...

We are truly blessed to have forged the kind of friendship that we have.   The most amazing part about it, is that we are so involved in each others lives throughout the year, that getting together for a week is just the highlight of that year.

...

This year will be just as great as the previous years.  Our retreat has evolved from the first one we had in 2010 which was four days in my house.  We have been blessed with wonderful artists who have not only come to teach us, but who have been influential in the evolution of our art.  We all have different strengths, and we each complement each other.  

...

I am very grateful for the opportunity to share this week with all of you, and I'm so looking forward to March 22!
