That was so much fun! I love having people over (and I cleaned up A LOT and was quite pleased with myself -- you can even see my desk currently because I tried out the new organizing tips from this morning's workshop) and it was so much fun to watch Emy stamp and to see everyone get to try it (I was having so much fun talking to everyone I forgot to stamp anything).
Thank you to everyone who came (and to Amytha who brought scrumptious tiramisu). I love that I have such crafty friends! And one of my favorite things is getting to bring together different groups of my friends -- so I tonight I had 3 Tech friends, 2 fellow-library students (and one of their highschool friends), and 2 knitting group friends over! And the Tech friends didn't even know each other (though I've been talking about them to each other for months), and my two classmates didn't know each other (not that anyone knows anyone else in the program, but we're working on that)
Yay!
Here are some photos!
Amytha and Tina watch Emy demonstrate

The whole gang: Tina, Amytha, Ilona, Emy, me, BobbiLynn, Julia, Melissa and Kim (not pictured)

Melissa (who I've been meaning to get together with for almost a year!), her friend Kim, and Tina

Tina shows off her card and coordinating envelope (I think we've hooked her on stamping!!)

Julia, Amytha and Ilona hard at work!

and BobbiLynn (who loves to win!) won one of the door prizes! Melissa's friend Kim won the other

Next goal: Elvis crafting dress-up party!!! Stay tuned!
Plus, if anyone is interested but couldn't attend, I have a catalog and extra order forms if anyone wants to buy any stamps or supplies...
[And yes, we stayed and talked until after 11!]
