A Very Bella Weekend: Part I: {The people}

I arrived home today from Silver Bella at 8 am, bright eyed and bushy tailed in the holiday mood. Ok, more like bleary eyed and overwhelmed (in a very good way) with all of the creativity, comradery and filling of my well that I experienced this weekend. Hard to put it all into words, before I decompress a bit, but I wanted to share some pictures right away. As expected, Silver Bella was an absolutely blissful creative weekend! I can already see I'm going to have to do a few different posts. First I will introduce a handful of the bellas that were in my classes. Later I will share vendor night, antique shopping and class projects. So I will start with the beautiful faces of the bellas and teachers that I encountered. Every single one of these women was absolutely amazing, inside and out. Above is me with the wonderful Mizz Sis Boom, Jennifer Paganelli. I took her Sweet Schultuten class and we also got the kit for her other class. So we played with everything and made up some fun cones and a Christmas Wish banner. Me with Heather of Speckled Egg. It was such a delight to meet Heather. Such a sweet person she is.

Here are a bunch of gals from the class showing off their fun projects. The Popin girls were in class.
Me with the lovely Pam Garrison.I was so excited to finally meet Miss Jenny Heid. She is adorable as ever and sweet as her creations. I took two classes from her and Aaron. Her sister Melissa and Aaron were a hoot!
Oh-so-kind and supportive, Charlotte Lyons.My project from Charlotte's class. I will post my completed class projects later. Lilli of Make Mine Blissful and Michelle of Hold Dear. Two very dear blogger friends that I've been waiting to meet for years! Absolutely the sweetest ladies ever!!! Me with Scrappy Jessi.

It was so much fun to finally meet Tammy Gilley. She is so cheery and soooo much FUN! Me with Hope Wallace from Paper Relics. I had such a nice time hanging out with her.
A bunch of us bellas!!! Me with Heather and Melissa of Little Melfie's World.

That's all for now. I will be back with a bunch more amazingly talented gals from vendor night....Heather Bullard, Dede Warren, Julie Collings, Maggie Summers, Danielle Muller, Candice Carpenter, Cari Kraft, Kimla Kay, Amy Powers, Karla Nathan... More soon!!!
