I'm BAAACK!!I had such a GREAT time at the Paper Cowgirl event last weekend! Here I am with my good friends Cindy and Tina. We've known each other for a while online...but here they are in person! These gals really know how to put on a fantastic weekend.
Vendor's night was an evening of delicious frosting "shots" and lots of shopping! 
Jan was a delight to meet. She made me laugh! Jan was ahead of the ATC swap.
Sweetie Joanna...also going to Silver Bella! We had a great time together.
New friend Ann Denise. She sold the most beautiful crepe paper strips! I had to add to my stash. 
I took an amazing class with the one and only Dale. We made darling collages!
My "vintage" corsage class was on Saturday afternoon. I had the BEST group of ladies!! Everyone was so sweet and patient. I loved hearing stories and art tips from them. I was so lucky!! My super sweet sis-in-law came in from Fort Worth to see what all the fuss was about. She had great time with the group.
Getting dirty in my class with the big bowl of walnut ink ...
Group photo of the vintage corsage girls. We had so much fun!
Here are a few photos from The Dove's Nest shop and restaurant...gorgeous!
We went to a wonderful Antique shop right around the corner. I found these great photos.
...and this very pretty case. It goes with my vintage pink suitcase!
I bought three soft and shabby pillow cases. Maybe I'll make a few aprons out of them??
I met Caroline from the Crafty Scrapper. She's a doll...and another curly haired girl like myself! The store is one of the most amazing scrapbook store's I've ever seen. I wish I would have taken photos inside. I was too busy shopping with Jan, Joanna, my sister-in-law Elisa, and my new super sweet friend Jodie from Corpus. I can't believe I didn't get a photo of her either...grr!
I had SUCH a great time this weekend, I decided to do a little Give-Away! I will draw a name from this post, and give someone one of my class kits! I even dyed the flower for them already...oh yes I did! I will mention the winner in my next post. Here is an example of one of the kits. I am donating the other one to my elementary school for their fundraiser.
The Paper Cowgirl weekend was the highlight of my summer. Thank you Cindy and Tina for including me. Can't wait til next year!! :)mendy

Mendy you are beautiful.
You look like you had a wonderful time.
Thank you for stopping by and I just want you to know that none of the art on my blog is mine. I do the writing but none of the art.

Hi Mendy - Lucky, lucky me getting to take your class. I love my corsage and it was just wonderful meeting you. Texas seems to be bursting at the seams with talent!

It sounds like you had a great time at the event! And, you made some fabulous creations...I met Joanna last year @ Silver Bella and, I agree, she is just a sweetie. Looking forward to meeting you this year! The "Indiana Girls" are going to be hosting a Hoosier Hospitality Suite to help get this year's Silver Bella off to a glittery bang so I hope you'll stop by!
So much fun...can feel the friendship between you all...

Ok, seems this corsage thing has a new life with Texas Bellas in Omaha...can't wait to see what you do! You are right, our TWHS history should help with this one! Put me in for the drawing, love that flower!!
OH, Mendy! Received my class kit and it is fab! Thanks so much for taking care of me. There is a little something for you soon to come...now I have to go play with my kit! Vicki from Oklahoma
Great stuff! I love your vintage corsage!!!!!! That is soooo awesome.
I had a great time at PC, too. It was great to meet you, Mendy. You are so talented. I wish I could've taken your class. Hopefully next time!
