I first saw some pictures on Ashley's blog and I thought to myself, "Is that Chicago Jenny?" Tell her she is known! That made me so happy that she could share in the fun with you and be a part of it as well. Looks like you all had good times. Now go collapse.

This looks like so much fun! I want to host a craft party for some really creative friends. How do you have an organized list of crafts without squashing creativity? Suggestions?

It was soooo fun! But I came home exhausted. Not much sleep happens at CW! Too much ruffling and laughing for sleep.

I read your blog all the time. You inspire me in many ways- so thank you. I tried to channel you and Erin Condren today as a put a rainbow heart bulletin board together at my son's school- turned out pretty darn cute. If I were a fancy blogger I could show you the pics.. I am not. yet. I know your feeling about the pictures- pure joy to look at. My "baby" is 3 1/2. Sigh. My favorite though of all without question was the picture of Annie with the Darth Vader Mask. PRICELESS! Happy February Meg. I appreciate all you do!
Posted by: Aly | February 03, 2012 at 12:51 PM
I want to come to this! I think my crafting is probably not up to par, but one can dream...
