Creatives-Celebrating Sisterhood Art Retreat

It can be a heartfelt warm + fun + exciting time meeting up with other creative spirits.  I had the privilege of meeting up with a group of creative women at a beautiful setting in Lake Geneva, WI.  The retreat was sponsored by Linda Barutha of Live-Laugh-Love Retreats. I was fortunate enough to be there the 1st day with all of these great women.  I (we) were able to pack alot of fun in the short amount of time.  Most of these ladies I have come to know thru a on-line class we took together 2011.  We are fondly known as the Fly Girls.  This is the first time I have met most of them.  Which was exciting within itself.

This is our group.

 Me and my good gal pal, Debbie.  

She was my sidekick and my roomie for the night. 

We laughed hard and often during our time together, as we always seem to do.

I'm looking at the pages I contributed to a journal titled,

For the Love of Creativity.

It's time to give up my tiara for a crown, don't you think?  I am totally infatuated with this crown that Kris made.  Know what else?  She makes one of a kind custom jewelry.  Go check her site out and tell me what you think.  http://www.cherishdesigns.wordpress.com  Tell her I sent you and maybe, just maybe,                
      

 **wink**wink** 

I'll be able to get a crown very soon.    

                                                     

meet some of the "Fly Girls"

I was fortunate to meet up with some fellow artists that I have become acquainted with in the private facebook group.   We all took an on-line class together in August 2011 (think that's the month) given by Kelly Rae Roberts.  The entire group is known as the "Fly Girls".   I believe there was like 360 some people in our class.  Approximately 50 remain active in the facebook group.  Gradually people who live close to one another are meeting up.  These ladies were from Illinois and Wisconsin.  It's really fun to get to meet them face to face after chatting on line for a while.  We closed down one joint and had to move to another location.  That would be an indication at how much fun we were having.


I'm listing their blogs in case you want to get to know them a little better, too.
