Ann Laughlin, Karen Williams, and Nanci Holtsford.

 

 Susan Wolverton and Carol Houston won the prize

for the best 

"FANCY PANTS"

since our Anniversary Celebration was

sponsored by Fancy Pants Designs.

Even though Jodi and her husband don't drink,

Cat just had to present them a bottle of

"Fancy Pants" wine.

It will look great as part of their decor.

 

And here are all of the lucky people who came out and celebrated

with us and Fancy Pants for our tenth anniversary.

What's a birthday celebration without a birthday cake?

This fabulous creation was courtesy of

Windy Hill Farm Bakery and DELICIOUS!

 

I had to get Cat to take my picture with Ray.

He was such a good sport to be our circus clown!

Thank you, Ray!

Sharon manned the dart throwing game where we

threw darts at balloons for prizes.

Yes, she had to dodge the darts at times!

 

Kim called bingo for us.

It was fun - EVERYONE won a prize!

Ray aired up balloons for Nanci to make balloon creations for everyone.

 

Teryia LOVED her giraffe balloon animal!

We could have our pictures taken in cut-outs.

 

Ray and Cat's grandson, Jake, came to visit and we all

enjoyed squeezing him and stealing his sugars!

Yes, we had a PLANKING good time this weekend.

Thank you Cat and Fancy Pants for such a 

FABULOUS

weekend!!!!

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION FUN!!!!

Jodi from Fancy Pants taught a layout class at the retreat today.

Of course, there is a class clown in every class!

Such attentive students!

Working hard amongst all of the circus decor.

More of the fun circus decor with attentive students.

Kevin took some of the ladies on a tram ride around the park.

Waving as they go by....

Smiling and waving.....

It doesn't take much to make us happy!

Tram rides are always FUN!!!

Check back tomorrow for more fun from the birthday celebration retreat!

FUN AT THE FANCY PANTS CARD CLASS

Jodi from Fancy Pants Designs had a great class teaching

the girls how to make some beautiful cards.

Teryia had to explain why she was having problems.  LOL

Love our Teryia!  She always brightens my day.

Valerie Light very carefully put her cards together.

Maybe that is why her cards look so pretty!

Ooops...looks like we don't quite understand what we are supposed to do....

Tying beautiful ribbon around the cards just adds 

so much texture and beauty to the cards.

Look at those girls work while Jodi teaches.  

Tons of creativity in the room!

At the end of the class, they had made these cards or

their own unique version of them.

So much fun!
