Keys4Art 2013, Part V

The Last Installment
(this time I mean it, really)
 
I know I said I was finished with the Keys retreat, but a funny thing happened.  Carla, who does NOT blog, shared her photos with us, and there are some amazing ones I just had to show you.  I mean, just look at this perspective.  (I never did; me + heights = unhappy me)
 



 
Every table laden with gifts.
 
 
 
One special gift from Karen to all of us was a supply holder.  It didn't make it into my first blog post because it was packed in a box that has not yet arrived.  (No worries.....it only just got mailed yesterday!)
 
 
 
See the mug covered with fabric, holding the paintbrushes?  So pretty, so useful.  Thanks again, Karen!
 
A couple of my housemates thought they were in Vegas or something.
 

 
 
Just to give you an idea of how much everyone loved making gelli plate prints.  At one point every bit of floor space was filled with drying prints.
 
 
 
Another gift (thank you Elena!) that was packed in that delinquent box was EVERY single one of Julie Nutting's new stamps.....a set for each of us!  Thanks to Julie too.
 
 
 
All of us (except Jacquie, who was called away for a family emergency.....but she came back for our farewell dinner at The Marlin).
 
 
Daisy, Teri, Lill, Karen, Pat, Elena, Me, Carla, Jen, Sue
 
 
Some random shots.
 








 
 
 
 
As I said, Jacquie drove down from Miami for our farewell party, and she brought her adorable son Luca.
 
 
 
 

 
 
Me and my tablemates.  What a fun week, making art and laughing together.

 
Well, that's it.  I think.  LOL!
