My Birthday Weekend

For my birthday this year, my sisters and I had a wonderful private class with Gina Gabriell. She has a great store in Dublin with wonderful goodies, you gotta check it out if you're in the area. http://elevenmorningstangerine.com/

Our project today was mini shrines. She provided lots of yummy vintage jewelry, trinkets, beads & paper to use on our projects.


Despite what it looks like, they're not arguing, that's just my sisters looking for the glue (JK).



The projects all turned out wonderful - it's me that can't take good pictures.


And here we are at the end of the class - what a fun way to spend the afternoon. In case you're wondering about the crown, Gina gave it to me.

For my bday gift, I asked my sisters to make me a paper doll, so that I could put them all together into one picture. They all turned out adorable. Dee, went above & beyond and made 6 of them and put them on a banner!

I haven't put them together in a picture yet, but here they are. I love the way they're dressed up for my bday party.


Tonight we had a fabulous dinner at Le Cheval.

And to top off a great week, I just picked up the latest issue of Haute Handbags. I was lucky enough to get one of my purses published in there. What a special bday present :-)
