Dinner fit for a Queen or should I say Queens............the tables were set with beautiful settings and centerpieces with fresh flowers........Queen Girdie photo with Banners and Crowns
Each chair draped with sashes and adorned with multiple charmed ribbons.......
I can't tell you or these pictures don't even come close to how beautiful the room looked with the lights off and the candles lit......what better way to end the first day and waiting to see what happens in this room on saturday........
the lighting isn't the best at the top of the stairs but we had two of these greeting the girls when they entered the dining room...............
a post card at each place setting.
Saturday morning after their Quiche breakfast it was back to the classroom to finish the dolls they made the day before and now they were all baked and ready to paint and dress......
The painting took most of the morning and we ran a bit late but they all finished and Jenn helped them along the way with a little eyeball here and there.....look at these adorable dolls
We all just stood around and ohhhhh and awehhhhhhed.....just like you would with a new baby!
And the proud Mama of all these little dolls.......
I know I am not the only one to say this but Jenn you could not of been sweeter and more fun to be with and I know everyone else agrees with me so a huge THANK YOu for such an enjoyable class....Angie, Cindy and I are just sad we didn't get to make one but hopefully this won't be your last time to teach this class.....
Probably a good thing Jenn's class went long because we were up changing the dining room for one last meal........
these were the girls take away at each place setting.....little swan jewelry boxes......
And all the Art by Angie in coloring book form.....
The swan centerpieces were made by one of our other favorite PC special teachers Lesa Daley........if you love these you are in luck because she will be here May 6 to teach her Swan magic!
Now these stuffed swans were given to me one day when I asked Cindy if there was anything I could do and she handed me this box of 3 white stuffed swans and said here dress these up....at first I didn't have a clue what I was going to do with them but I looked at them for a day or two and just had at it....and these are how they turned out! Kinda whimsical but made our frames stand out for the swan themed lunch!
The blue canvas Swan was painted by our artist in house none other than Angie..........this girl is the best and she has more ideas rolling around in that creative head of hers.....thanks Angie for always coming up with these beautiful pieces of art.......
The last meal is when the girls receive a huge goodie bag full of fun creative gifts Cindy gives each attendee........they always love their goodie bag. I don't have to many photos of this meal because I was downstair setting up for my class.
We also had 3 different swaps going on after each of the meals. I know Cindy had a professional photographer take photos on saturday and she will have photos up as soon as she gets them....I also know many of you have seen photos of course on social media floating around! These are just the ones I took and I hope you can just see how much fun we all had taking classes , setting up for the meals and enjoying just being around each other and creating some fun projects!
After Lunch the girls headed back downstairs for the last class.....
By now these girls were tired but they all finished and we did manage to take a group photo of them holding up both of the dolls they made...
what a great group of gals...........thank you all, you did an outstanding job no matter how tired and frustrated you were you all were amazing!
a few random shots from the weekend.....
the first night at the welcome dinner they each received this sweet tag with one of the art magazines Cindy carries at the store.......
And this would not be a possible weekend without this Lady..........She goes above and beyond to make every little detail possible......the hours she spends making sure everyone will be taken care of is way more than anyone will ever know. So from each and everyone I know you feel like me THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! You are the best and we can't even begin to thank you enough.....I hope you know that...
So there you have the weekend wrap up and I know Cindy will have better and more photos on the Paper Crown blog......but for me that is all I have!
And Cindy Lou you are the Queen of the Castle!!!! We all Love you!!!!!
it was a truly magical, amazing event. can't thank you teachers and cindy and amy enough! xoxo
