We had a special treat of having the amazing Wendy Addison teach a private class for my sisters, Lana and Diana's birthday this past weekend! Not only were we honored with her teaching, but we actually got to hold the class in her own studio - what a memorable day it was!
Below are a bunch of pictures of our wonderful day!

You captured our sisters' birthday workshop beautifully in your blog - what a fun day it was!
ReplyDeleteYour photos reminded me again what an amazing day we had at Wendy's
ReplyDeleteStudio from the moment I walked into to not wanting to leave at the end of the day. I loved learning the art of letter pressing and seeing how our
finished layout came out and making our journal covers using Wendy's
vintage supplies. Thank you Wendy and Lana for making it all possible and to everyone who helped in our bd celebration. Thanks Connie for the great pics.
Connie you are so blessed to have such a colorful group of sisters. I always look forward to your birthdays to see what class you will come up with for each celebration. It looks like you all had another fun-filled day together. My best gifts are the days I share with my sisters.
