Silver Bella
ROCKS GLITTERS!!
It's so cool to spend a few days with 150 girlfriends!! My fabulous roomates were Joy Campbell and Jessi Nagy and we had an adjoining room with delightful Kim Caldwell and Cheryl Stoneham! We arrived to this assortment of goodies provided by Jessi and the fridge stocked with water and Diet pepsi!
Jessi was very organized and checked things off as they were completed:
I arrived around one, so I walked across the street
Downtown Omaha, Old Market District
and met these lovelies for lunch:
Cheryl Stoneham, Suzanne Duda and Heidi Birds of a Feather
Joy Campbell, Kim Caldwell and Scrappy Jessi
Jessi caught up with her "little sister" Jenn Hayslip (who is the quintessential Southern Belle!)
Our first night was a dinner and group project. Teresa McFayden knows how to do things right with glitter, girlie and glamour:
In this package was all the materials for a sweet ornament we made:
It's all about the packaging isn't it?
I caught up with these lovelies- my suitemates from last year:
Jana and Valita
Sweet Amanda Willey with me and Jana's getting her silly on!
And here is Joanna (Sweet Finds) and I- Joanna touched me with the most thoughful gift I will share with you in another post.
Carol (Raised in Cotton) and Karla Nathan hosted a small Champagne and Glitter Reception the first evening:
I'm spaced because I can't remember the name of that beautiful woman on the left, but then there is Carol, Karla and Kim Artistic Bliss.
We had champagne in glasses that were rimmed with really cool edible glitter and chocolates and sweets glittered with that same edible stuff!
Glitter makes everything better!
A few of the attendees:
That's (L-R) Kim Caldwell, Tiffany Shabby Scraps, a very pregnant Heather Ales and a side shot of Jessi.
More fabulous photos to follow!
I updated my etsy shop with a few items- here are a couple:
