Life is just a Bowl of Fairies, Part Two

This is Jane's wonderful Wish fairy!!!!!! She is so gorgeous!!!
Beth had masks for us to alter. See below for a before shot. This is the way cool Winter Queen mask that Beth altered prior to our arrival. It was so gorgeous. This is a before shot of Trish's work area. She and Beth are the tidiest workers. Jane and I are kind of sloppy and I tend to take more than my share of space, just ask Trish! Also note the wine bottle! Makes for happy crafters!
We altered cabinet cards! Finally! We have been wanting to try this forever. I don't know why we did not do it before because it was lots of fun! This is Trish's first card and it is gorgeous!!!! She did a great job with the border and her hanging apperatus, love the vintage button on the top! The phrase Trish used on this piece (Oh how happy are they) is from an old Methodist hymnal that Trish had.
These are two of Jane's first altered cabinet cards ever!!! Very impressive and totally cool!
Here are Beth and I at the beginning before everything was strewn all over the tables and floor! Please note how wonderfully she had everything set up for us all!!! It was like going to a great art retreat but it was at someone's house, which was even better cause you could totally relax!
This is one of the fairy wands that Beth made! Pure genius!
Another great cabinet card from Miss Jane!

Our wonderful hosts!!!!!!!! John, Jack, Sophie, and Beth! Thank you so much for having us over! You guys are the perfect hosts!!!
