Breathing Again!

Well, I can breath again! I co-hosted a stamping event yesterday that kind of took on a life of its own. We thought it would be nice to get a few gals together to stamp. I had attended some similar events in the past but there weren't any in this area. We figured for a first time event we might get 20 people. Well, I underestimated our "star power", lol! Holly (my co-hostess) is also an alumni of the Splitcoaststampers design team and we had 2 other alumni attending. We cut off registration at 50! This is a shot of the Fire Hall where we had our event. The ladies were in the middle of doing projects.
We had a good group of gals from Rochester, Syracuse, Canada, PA, as well as local Buffalo gals. I was really wowed by the talent represented. They came with great projects to share and swap.
This is a photo of the four of us Dirty Dozen gals. From left to right: Holly, Michelle, me and Diane. We taught a round of mini classes in the afternoon and I think those were a great hit with the girls.


Greg and Holly's husband did our food for the event. It was so great that we didn't have to worry over that detail. What a spread we had too!
We hosted several people at our house for the weekend as well. Pastor Bill parked his camper in our driveway and that became Casa Laverack. Chris, Melissa, their boys and our boys slept out there.
Check out my stamping blog this week if you want to see more from the event.
At the moment my head feels like it is in a vice grip, I am having serious sleep withdrawals. I hope to be back to normal soon, in more ways than one ;).
