I don't know how to begin to tell you how wonderful my experience at Paper Cowgirl was! I wanted to go last year, but didn't because I couldn't find anyone to go with me, and I was too chicken to go by myself! But this year...I decided to go "no matter what"! I still couldn't find anyone to go with me, so I went alone....but I made soooo many new friends once I got there!
I even found a terrific room-mate on the yahoo group....thanks Cathi!
The first night was a meet & greet at the Doves nest and we had a fabulous time exchanging little charms, or flair to be added to our name badges. This amazing dress, made out of paper and coffee filters, by Ann-Denise Anderson was a display!
Our key note speaker was Lisa M. Pace....I was so excited because I have had her book for about a year and I LOVE it! She autographed it and was soooo sweeet!
Friday night we all had dinner at a Mexican food restaurant and it was happy hour! Then shopping in downtown Waxahachie...I found some great stuff at the antiques stores !
I only took 2 classes and sort of wish I had taken more now, but I didn't want to get overwhelmed....since it was my first time! My first class was "Encaustic Memories" by Lisa McIlvain and I loved it! Go check out her Paper Cowgirl pictures!!!
My second class was "Dolled up Dress Forms" by Karla Nathan, (you really need to see her Paper Cowgirl pictures too) I can't tell you how much I loved this class! She has a tutorial you can purchase if you would like to learn to make these cuties!
