Sister Lana Bday Celebration - Making Marionettes

This past Sunday we celebrated my sister, Lana's birthday. Ulla Milbrath (http://www.ullam.typepad.com/), from Castle in the Air in Berkeley taught us a magical class on Marionettes.
Ulla was a wonderful teacher, so helpful, patient, creative and generous with her supplies!
  The following pictures show us hard at work.
Lana's house was the perfect setting, as she has so many wonderful pieces displayed around her home.The following pictures are just a few of the beautiful areas in her home. Get ready for some eye candy!
 Lana received some fun and creative gifts...below are just a few of the items she received.

Below are close-ups of our finished marionettes.

We had such a wonderful day celebrating her birthday, creating, eating and laughing! Thank you Ulla and Happy Birthday Lana.
