The Escape.. (or es-cop-eh as my daughter would say)

iPhone photo, not too shabby

I'm back from Creative Escape.  Totally jet lagged, (3 hour time changes are killer!), buried under loads of laundry and grateful that my family was safe while I was gone.

I must say it is definitely not as much fun going by yourself... I missed my "crafty peeps".  I'm not sure if it was because I went by myself or because changes that they made to the event, but it was not as great as last year. (see posts about it here, & here & here)

Even though I went to the classes by myself, my husband tagged along on the trip with me. We were able to visit old friends, and enjoy some time together.

I came back with LOADS of ideas for projects to share with you here. I'll take photos of the actual projects in the coming days to share with you.  I'm most excited because I also was able to think of my own "spin" on a lot of the things we made.  They will make some fun Tuesday Tutorials this fall!

The photo is from my favorite class. I snapped it with my phone during class.  It was taught by Margie Romney-Aslett. Not only was the project clever and cute, she is a fabulous teacher!   I'm not delving into jewelry making anytime soon, but her class was a fun spinoff on a traditional scrapbook.  I'm going to finish it up and share it with you soon.

now off to go tackle that laundry.
