Stampaway behind me

So sad Stampaway is over. I feel kinda like the week after Christmas; all the hoopla is done, the friends and family have gone home…but just like after Christmas, New Years is coming and so I have new toys to play with and new memories to treasure.

I took a class with Tim Holtz called Charmed Possessions, I was the first person to get a ticket. Can you say I drove my order to the store the day it came! and there I am…I’m the elbow on the left.

I was sitting next to Claret and my Friend Mert was next to her. Off camera is my new friend Gail who I met through another online friend Lisa. Found a picture of my classmates, can’t remember the name of Gail’s friend…so sorry, but she was fun to be with. Lisa drove from South Carolina for the event. I was so glad to get to meet her in person after knowing her from several online groups, she is so beautiful. Didn’t get a picture of her how did I manage to forget to do that. Here are the projects we made:

for this bracelet we were given a fell set of Tim’s type charms and we had some of his papers; so each person left with a completely different bracelet. I was so glad that Tim was generous with the bracelet links I think you got a full 10 inches or so. This next piece is a pin and I can so see it on my winter coat or hat. It is based on a domino.

This one is my least favorite piece and I think because my kit had copper, brass and silver toned pieces in it. While I’m not so much a matchy matchy type person I just could not make this come together. I will most likely rework it, swap out the chain and colorize the keyhole.

From my least favorite to my favorite; a heart necklace. Love love Love hearts! And a crown for the queen…how did T!m know!!

I will probably wear the color off of this one!

Back with more on my picks from Stampaway!

In the Hands of the Creator,
