Les Sirenes...

Well better late than never ....right? Sorry I haven't posted any pics from my adventures this summer..but isn't that what is the best thing about summer, being busy and having FUN!!!! So here are some pics of my wonderful Les Sirenes Event.....Terri and I hosted a Mermaid and Martinis Cocktail party to start things off..we had food and flavored martinis that we set up in our room. I think everyone who came had a great time!

Terri and I greeting our guests


The food......

The Martini Bar...yummo...

We had all of our swaps on Friday night after a day of classes. First was Christine's beautiful necklace swap. Each person made seven like flowers and sent them to Christine then she mixed and matched up seven people and made them all the same flower necklace..they were all just beautiful. She had a color scheme of Blues, corals and creams...of course the picture of me was blurred but here are some of the other beauties...


The lovely Christine.....


Terri's beautiful necklace...



Sweet Val with her lovely necklace... Mine was all blues and creams....Next we did the Treasure Chest Swap Hosted by Val....these boxes were simply amazing I will let the pics speak for themselves....



Lisa with squeals of delight....

This was my swap for Jen, before I gave it to her all wrapped up!


I hope she like it.....Here is a close up shot of the top of the box.

Of course I filled the whole thing with PINK!!!!!


Terri's box..beautiful colors....more boxes, just beautiful all of them.....


And last but not least this was the box that I received from Cathy...it was so beautiful..just all covered with shells and beads....amazing!



The next swap was my Les Sirenes Wall Hanging...... each person sent me 12, 3x3 squares and I put them all together on a canvas wall hanging that I stitched up added some trim and shells and this is what everyone got....All wrapped up and ready to pass out.




All of the squares were so beautiful..and each was different.....

Here is my new Dallas Friend Charlene and I with her wall hanging...I just love the fact that she is taller than me and I don't look like a giant in the picture..as I usually do! I think she felt the same way...yeah we look normal!


I will post again with pics of the classes and shopping events.....

Loving the picture of you and Charlene.
Love the boxes - and the hanging . . . I feel so left out.
You had way too much fun without me!
