Forgiveness

Last night, I attended the pre-dinner for the

Dream Girls Weekend.

What a hoot! I had been out all day and really didn't have time to prepare a "get-up" for the Hillbilly theme that was going on. It was okay though, as the girls who did dress up, more than made up for me being in my jeans and sweater.

It really was a special evening; a gathering of women who all have a common interest. Art, fun, and a good time. I was introduced to people who I have only known through blogging or Facebook. So I was so excited when I finally got to meet Jeanne Oliver in person. I had heard from many of my friends what an awesome photographer, artist and just a geniunely nice person she is. And guess what, she really is nice. One of her most recent art pieces really made me ponder things about my life in recent months. It was about forgiveness. I remember when my Mom was alive, she would say to me that it was a lot easier to forgive than to carry that burden around on your shoulders. While it sometimes difficult to put those feelings aside, I have decided to let it go.

I choose forgiveness!

I'm off for a Dreamy Weekend

I remember last year as I was getting my feet wet with Tippy Stockton, I came across some pictures from a Girl's Weekend that was held by my friend

Tiffany, The Fancy Farmgirl.

It was called Dream Girls Weekend.

A group of like-minded, artsy, fun and giggly girls get together and spend the weekend crafting fun things, all the while laughing their way through the day. I also remember thinking that I would love to go for so many reasons. To be around this group of women would be the bees knees. Secondly, to be taught how to solder by none other than Terri Brush, well that would be something. So when sweet Tiffany invited me to attend this year, I was thrilled beyond words. Unfortunately, I will only be attending the Sunday session - soldering a friendship bracelet. YAY! I can't wait. Check back next week when I post pictures and details of this lovely weekend.

Here's a few photos from last years event! Doesn't it just look like a blast!
