I realize that I am so late with this post, but I still wanted to show everyone pictures of our amazing craft day in Savannah.

While it was a rainy day, the beauty under the Big Top was incredible!

So many goodies!  I was really worried about getting everything back on the plane.  (Incidentally, if you are 1 pound over the limit, Delta charges you 90 bucks!!  Holy Cow!  They really don’t want you going over the limit.)

Isn’t that tree gorgeous?  I love all the Spanish moss.

Our first class was with Miss Dollybelle herself — Christine Rose Elle.

After Christine’s class, we began making our parasols.  I had such a great time working with all the fabrics, especially the ones from Sisboom.  I had some trouble using the no-sew tape, but that’s what mothers are for.  😀

This is Charlene and she is so much fun!  I really connected with her and I hope to visit her in Texas come the fall.  The Marburger Farm Antique Show isn’t too far from where she is.  That way I can feed my addiction to Magnolia Pearl duds.

This is the Ford Plantation and we were lucky enough to get to eat lunch inside.

Hey Miss Scarlett!

One of the participants made each of us a white chocolate parasol.  Yummy!

Lunch was delicious and I had my first Amaretto Sour.  To die for!  I could go for one right now.

This was the picture from the outside of the house.  Isn’t that gorgeous?!

I love hydrangea.  I think it might be my favorite flower.  I sure do miss seeing them grow.  It’s too dry and hot for them in Arizona.

The final class of the day was the lovely Miss Tiffany’s.

I’ve been following her blog for quite some time and it was great finally meeting her.  She is one of the most sincere people I have ever met.  Completely genuine — no airs — my kind of gal!

Doesn’t Mom looking sassy?

Mom and I with the gracious hostess — Thanks Jenn for an awesome weekend!

Gasoline and green dust?  What does that have to do with crafting?  Oh yes, killing fire ants.  They were some pesky, uninvited critters that really liked Mom.  She got bit and there was some drama when her foot swelled.  Next year we’ll bring some industrial size “Off.”

I think the neatest thing about this whole event was the amount of time we were able to socialize with each other.  I met some incredible women and I hope to keep in contact.  Miss you gals!!  Can’t wait to read the article in Where Women Create.
