INSPIRATION!!!

Inspiration Workshop was a HUGE success!

Everyone had a great day

(except for the three students that had to take kits -

we missed you guys!)

So here is a picture of the project...

We used the new Donna Downey 12" X 6" canvas book and it was wonderful to work with - so much fun!

Here are some pictures as I was preparing the kits and all the goodies that went into them....

and here is the picture of all the kits finished....

and how they looked in the classroom...

Everyone flipped out over their bags and packaging....

Students hard at work...

love this one of Regina...

Dia doing some glittering with the fabulous "Glitter Ritz" line

If you have not tried it I suggest you do

Puts glitter in a whole new category of FABULOUS!!!!

(you can order it at http://www.scrapperscove.com/)

Sandy is sewing away

Raelene is very proud of her painting - looks great!!!

and I am so proud of the awesome polka dot dinner plates

 I found to serve this lovely group of artistic girls their lunch on....

LUNCH!!!  oh yes!!!

and it was delicious if i do say so myself

How about Chinese Chicken Salad

Ravioli Lasagna

some good old mac & cheese

and there was also wonderful bread

I did not take a picture of dessert but it was delicious

they were Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Squares

 Everyone wanted the recipe so here it is....

Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Squares

2 pkgs refrigerator chocolate chip cookies

(this time I used the toll house ultimate cookie dough

3 pkgs – 1 1/2 for top layer and 1 1/2 for bottom layer)

2 8-oz pkgs cream cheese – regular or light

2 large eggs

1/2 cup sugar

1 tbs vanilla

confectioners’ sugar

Grease a 9” X 13” pan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Layer with slices of one package of chocolate chip cookies

Beat together cream cheese, eggs, sugar & vanilla

Spread evenly over cookies

Top with slices from remaining package of cookies

Bake 35-45 minutes

Let cool

Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar

Chill in refrigerator

To serve, cut into squares

These are SO easy and SO delicious!

Hope you enjoy them....

It was hard to get back to work after all that food but

these students are great and determined to work!!!!

Back to class....

We laughed so hard because of Debbie - she is the sweetest,

but she "stole" one of Sandy's boxes and had NO IDEA!!!!!

You had to be there, but trust me when I tell you

it was funny...

Dia is very proud of her "LADY"

We all loved making these mannequins and the tag attached

to it in the book says

"HELLO GORGEOUS"

I love my students SO MUCH that I sewed the ruffles onto the

canvas page for EVERYONE!!!!

(after Lauren and Regina patiently help me fix the machine!!)

I had the BEST surprise

A visit from two wonderful friends / students

Rachel and Lise (and Regina is in the picture too)

As they say "all good things must come to an end"

Here is Pat admiring her inside covers

It really was a fabulous day and I was so happy

everyone had such a good time.

I really do have the BEST students!!!!

And...Scrappers Cove is the best place to shop....

So until next post

(do not even ask the issues i have been having with this blog!!

I was only able to post by going to Internet Explorer first

and then bringing up my blog and posting.....)

I leave you with this....

"TO LIVE A CREATIVE LIFE WE MUST LOSE OUR FEAR

OF BEING WRONG!!"

Have a great Sunday!

Peggy
