Carol and Jodie did an amazing job setting up the retreat and the many vendors were generous with give away items. So, I now own a few items that I will be giving away. I'm going to call it the Get Away Give Away. Stay tuned to see what's at stake. I've already added some patterns from my collection to sweeten the pot.
Would you like to see what I am keeping? The picture shows items given to us and items I bought while there.
Shopping was outstanding and I got some Christmas shopping done. No, it's not shown here! lol Gotta keep some surprises!
Got home this afternoon - unpacked and had lunch. Then a nap was in order. That stitching for hours is HARD work. My story and I'm sticking to it. The retreat removed me from dealing with my uncle's death. That was a good thing (as Martha would say). Speaking of which, thank-you for your thoughts and prayers, they are much appreciated!
Time to return to real life. Tomorrow the electric company will be turning off my electric once again as they add another new line to the transmission lines being added near the house. It will be for 4 hours, but is a real pain when you forget it's going to happen. :)
Also tomorrow, my little girl is 24! Pardon me for saying this, how the hell did that happen? Twenty-four?!?! She has requested coffee cake this year. I'm also making a gingerbread and some lop-lop (a brown sugar syrup). Yummo!
Hope this finds you happy and healthy!

Sounds like a fun time! Crafty Ewe is my LNS too but I was not able to do the weekend thing. Are you doing the Tour De Stitch? I always do that.
Great stash and gifty haul Denise! Lots of new projects to watch unfold. And it is kind of funny to see this modern, stylistic place in the middle of Amish country! Hugs!
