Craftapalooza


We held our 2nd annual craft weekend, hereby known as Craftapalooza on Labor Day Weekend at beautiful Bear Lake! There were 10 of us off and on and we truly missed those who were unable to join us. Hopefully next year!! We rented a cabin looking over the lake and crafted our behinds off for 4 days! We watched chick flicks, ate yummy food, enjoyed the scenery, went hot tubbing and made a couple of trips to the beach!

I woke up early (stupid internal alarm system) and watched the sun come up from the deck of the cabin. I'm so happy I woke up early. I wouldn't have wanted to miss this!
We made cake platters out of simple every day plates and glasses. They turned out beautiful!

Another day, another sunrise

We saw lots of wildlife around the cabin. These were some wild turkeys across the street.

One morning, looked out the kitchen window and saw a mama dear and her twin babies! i couldn't get a picture of all of them together, but here's the mama and one of the babies.

Chocolate, chocolate everywhere. It wouldn't be a girl's party without it!

More of the chocolate display

We all fell in love with making magnets, crazy, I know, but oh so fun!

Bottlecap magnets and a flower magnet drying on the deck.

Chelsie, Lynette and Kali hard at work...

Kenzie, yes she slept with that pillow over her entire body all night long. Crazy girl.

It got a little windy and whipped up some nice whitecaps. It almost felt like being at the ocean...almost...

Erin, Kenzie, Chelsie, Kali, Jared and Hamlet
We invited to "boys" to come up on Sunday afternoon and stay over until Monday. Jared brought his 4-wheelers

Chelsie, eating one of Julie's "to die for" rice krispy treats!

This is a final picture of the beautiful lake as we were leaving. What a wonderful, relaxing, bonding weekend! Can't wait for next year...in fact, maybe we could do it once a quarter!!!
