SPARK~ day 1

this was the most fabulous weekend!

it was pure magic from the beginning.

let me paint the picture:

a crisp autumn day

blue skies, breezy

we were up on a hill overlooking the

valley @ this is the place monument

(an old pioneer village complete with

chapel, hospital, hotel, gathering halls,

train, tree lined streets...)

the fall leaves were beautiful

before i even got to the door, we were

greeted by streamers of paper flow

ers

and doilies.

ribbons,

paper pinwheels, tulle and lace adorned

trees, posts, the old chapel, and a wagon.

music was piped through each building, and

on every speaker along the gravel street. it

was fabulous, like having a soundtrack to your

life! i walked in and wanted to jump up and down

with excitement and energy.

after i looked around a bit, we wa

lked up the steps

to the main gathering hall and rhonna ran

out the

door to greet us, jumping up and down and dancing!

it was fabulous. i was so happy to be there to support

her and to see her genius @ work. and man, was it

working!

the day was filled with goodie bags, EYE CANDY,

real candy, chatting, excitement, mini classes and

give aways, yummy food, the **Sweet Tooth Fairy**!

(I got to sample a chocolate and charisse got the

vaNIElla cupcake. i'm glad i was already sitting when i tasted

it. it was that good. and so darn cute.)

it was great to be exposed to so many different types of

crafts. knitting, hand sewing, heat press, cricut, cool new

paint techniques... i just loved it.

i am praying for SPARK, round 2!!
