Just Call Me Alice........


Alice in Wonderland that is.  That's what it was like in Salt Lake City this past week! I felt like I had fallen into the rabbit hole and was surrounded by amazing creations and amazing people!



It was great hanging out with the Pals in person and cheering Mary on when she won so many awards!  The White Rabbit - aka Mike Funke - kept me and my terrific roommates, Dawn, Ginger and Ann on schedule so we didn't miss a thing! 

I also got to meet many on-line friends like the Mad Hatter herself Carrie Gaskin who wore a different hand crafted fascinator every day - and she looked fabulous in it! Artisan Award winners Sandra Farrell and Jenn Picard were gracious and charming as well as creative.  I spent time with LeAnne Pugliese and created with Cindy Beach - wonderful gals!  And I got a big ol' Texas hug from Lydia - she rocks!

The Pals got together for dinner and a swap and all I can say is wow!  Enjoy:

An embossed beauty from my fellow Diet Coke fan Martha Stewart!


Beautiful in blue from Nicole!


Absolute cuteness from my roomie Ginger!


Classic and charming from my Southern Belle roomie Dawn!


A fabulous floral from Katy!


A kwik and kool klassic from Kris!


Bright, bold and beautiful from Mary!


And there is more to come................
