Last night, I returned from my twice-a-year craft retreat at Lake Hartwell, and it was so nice to get away for a few days before the busy holiday season arrives! Most of the gals are from the Savannah area, and one flew in from Dallas and one was in town from California. It was a fun mix, including two daughters of one of the gals. I was so impressed with them and happy to have made two more young friends!
The weather was sunny and unseasonably warm for Georgia at this time of year, and as one of the younger ladies liked to say, "And we weren't mad about it!"
We always manage to squeeze in some shopping, and we were all charmed with the downtown Christmas decorations, including this sleigh.
We agreed that it felt a bit like we were in a Hallmark Christmas movie and were just waiting for the guy in the plaid flannel jacket to show up!
The crafts this time included knitting, embroidery, decoupage, and wreath making. I loved this wreath made by cutting bandannas in half and attaching them to a wire frame.
I made a hodgepodge of different cards this time.
And of course I always have to make a teatime card or two. It has occurred to me that one day, I would like to have my own Etsy shop and sell my handmade cards, so I'd better get on the ball.
It was a great weekend with some dear friends, and as Thanksgiving approaches, I am very grateful for the gift of friendship!
