october to me always means time for
it is a wonderful workshop retreat
filled with great projects
and a wonderful group of "like-minded" women
who share the same love of creating art
it is a time for "re-charging" that "creating" need
that I constantly seem to have
and this 4-day retreat never fails
it's also a time for me and my friend christina from ottawa
to reconnect and have many days of non-stop laughter
if you are one of the lucky women to attend this camp
trust me that you will never leave hungry
that you will never leave without feeling pampered
and that you will leave with a long list of new friends
and the ocean view that we saw outside of our table areas every day
was "to die for" gorgeous!
the line-up of teachers was fabulous
and our guest attendee jenny doh
shared with us an inspirational talk
this year terri had a photo booth area and we made sure to have a lot of fun there
a lot of these photos are courtesy of:

one of our "surprise" projects from terri was a halloween glass house
we were told beforehand that there was going to be a halloween house contest
so I gathered up some of my supplies and came up with this....
she's a bit creepy, but she's totally halloween and I love her...
christina taught the paper mache mask
and everybody's was so different
a reflection of their own taste and personality
of course mine was vintage papers, soldered, and had bits of black
a little fluff of feathers and butterflies
and some BLING
here are some of the jewelry pieces I finished up while there too
love this bracelet class that terri taught
and beach camp wouldn't be the same without our friends from Texas and Arizona
amy, krista and suzi
loved our "photo shoot" laughs!
always look forward to this time
and can't wait till the next one
thank you terri and christina for your amazing talents
thank you jenny for your words of wisdom and inspiration
thank you krista, amy and suzi for the never ending laughs
thank you teresita and the rest of the kitchen gals for the amazing meals
thank you resident photographer kristin for the paparazzi shots
thank you billie for your sweetness and hugs
and to all the other women there - we shared a great time
now i must go home and continue this fabulous streak of creativity!!
