I am so excited this morning! I decided to LEAP and travel to Tinsel and Treasure . I have been thinking about this for many weeks. Donna O'Brien, one of the talented artists who will be there, has encouraged me to come and meet her. She and I are blog buddies. BUT, it would cost me JUST to get there, not to mention I will want to SHOP. The tipping point for me was: I happened upon a multi-day crafter's convention in St Louis, MO sponsored by Home Companion (aka Mary Engelbreit), with classes being given by Wendy Addison! Wendy is the goddess of all things crafted from paper and glitter. YES, I do mean the best. To be able to learn at her knee, well, well, I was struck dumb.
Today, the first day to register for the St Louis convention, I started in making arrangements: registration fees, airfare, hotel...uh oh. This was going to cost a lot. Then I reflected back on my decision to not go to the Tinsel show with Donna, et al, because it would have cost...a little. In the meantime, as added incentive, Ulla was going to be teaching "make & takes". One of her projects that I signed-up for is in the above picture. Can I make a short story long, or what? So in just 11 days I will be on my way to CA for fun and friends.
PS I am adding Donna and Wendy to my favorite blogs so you can go have a look. Neither of them are frequent posters, which is why they weren't already featured. But these gals are both so creative and meticulous with their work.
PSS Did I say that I was excited?

How wonderful, Charlotte!
Tinsel and Treasure looks amazing. I've heard good things about it in Blogland from multiple people. You deserve a little treaty trip from time to time.
I hope it's fabulous. Take tons of photos so you can share them with us when you return!
