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!!
