oh, the fun I had.....

what can I say?
I love Nina
~~~~~
she was everything I expected and more
she's the type of person
you want to spend a day with
drinking tea
on a sunny porch
just talking
and
listening
~this was her gatherings class~
the same one she taught at
artfest
this is my cover

and now my inside pageswhere I used lots of
my flea market finds
secured on old book covers
using ribbon and twigs
and eyelets and wire
and mica
and carpet tacks

class photo

she teaches

she acts
and
she cleans
~~~~~
thank you Nina for making my
weekend at Valley Ridge
WONDERFUL

  6. I am in awe! These are gorgeous. I tried to decide which I liked best, and I was unable to make a choice! I can't believe what an exciting class this was -- how fun to use all your finds, too!

    And by the way, my dear, when IS your birthday?
