Spark No. 3, Chapter 3

Friendship.  Memories.  Laughter.  Love.  That is just a bit of what I experienced at Spark this year!  This year I met more AMAZING women at Spark!  And there were many more that I didn't even get a chance to speak to which leaves me a little sad but excited for them that they were at Spark meeting other new friends! 

Last year I hosted a small dinner gathering the night before Spark, we were a small group and it was such a  nice way to start Spark!  So nice that I decided that I would host yet another Pre-Spark dinner gathering and was it a gathering!  This year we had 50 FABULOUS women attend, yes 50!  WOW! I was so excited that we had so many interested and I think that they all had a great time!  We stepped it up a notch this year by holding a swap.  Everyone who was interested in playing along brought an item in a bag and we took the bags and re-distributed them out.  It was so much fun and everyone left with a wonderful item to remember their Pre-Spark meeting!

Here is what I left with that night, an incredible handmade pin created by the talented Carrie Clayden of California!  She is amazing, talented, beautiful and a joy to talk to!  Please be sure to head over to her blog HERE and say hi, she has so many fabulous Spark photos to share!  She owns a store in southern California so if you live there you should check it out and here is the blog for her shop HERE!

*I will be sharing photos of a few more gifts I received from fellow Spark Sisters so join me Monday night!

Wow, gorgeous stuff! I watched the photos on who taught and what they made. Loads of things! I thought the felting looked fun and something that is not normally taught. Loved all the photos too.
Miss you friend,
Me
