I Had A Slumber Party!
You are never too old to 
have a slumber party, so I decided to have one a couple of weeks ago. I invited a few friends over for the weekend -- Jane, Carmen, Anastasia, and
also Maggie and Jean, who flew down from Northern California to hang out!
It was great fun and I can't believe I didn't think of it
sooner. We all camped out in my living room (poor sweet hubby stayed out of our way the whole weekend). We caught up
with one another, drank wine, ate and laughed quite
a bit. We even had
competitive games of Taboo and Scrabble. On Saturday, I cooked us an all-appetizer lunch. We ate poolside and gave ourselves some pedicures.
After lunch, Rachel came over and joined us as well. Rachel and I taught the other girls how to dye. (It's part of our plot to turn everyone into crafters ;) ha!) I had cut up some white thrift store sweater sleeves for the girls to dye, then we felted them.
The idea is that I will make them something from their dye creations. Unfortunately, so far I only finished Maggie's, but y'all get the idea. I'm still working on the other girls' items, which has stalled a little since my in-laws are visiting from Indonesia, and a very good friend of mine is visiting with his girlfriend.
I also gave each girl some gift bags with some sort of beauty or bath product. I made the bags 
from felted sweater scraps that I had laying around from all the practice and prototype runs for that DIY network show I will be filming in September.

What a nice idea. It looks like you had a wonderful weekend. I'm glad you got to do what you love and hang out with friends at the same time. Very cool and do I dare to say "crafty"
