Joyeux Noel

What a wonderful trip to Atlanta to visit BFF Gerri (aka Hopelessly Romantic Art Studio) for her November workshop. So happy we were able to attend (minus Melanie...boo hoo). It was a wonderful time and so nice to meet everyone at her workshop.

Thanks to Pat (Refind~Maison~Jardin) for hosting the workshop. Her store is so quaint and charming!

Where to begin...think black and white, sheek, sparkly and dazzling. These are all things from this workshop. We made beautiful silver german glass glittered 3 dimensional stars and there was amazing packaging, embellishments and...Kelley (I) won the yummy giveaway. It was a star tiara fit for a queen...a quintessential Queen! The goodie bag included a November/December Victoria magazine, which featured Nicholas Kniel, the famouse designer from Atlanta. Even over the top was our amazing visit to his very own store in Atlana...WOW! I took away my very own german glass glitter.

Please visit Gerri's blog at http://hopelesslyromanticart.blogspot.com/
for more fun pictures.

Looking forward to another future visit (with Melanie this time..yeah) and what amazing times ahead.

Thanks again to Gerri & Pat!

Gotta go...we are on the move to our very own first ever workshop...a Holiday Hat Tree Topper, inspired by Nicholas Kniel.
