I have much to share with you, I have just returned from a special gathering of blogging women...talented, funny and quick friends. I'll need a couple of posts AND since I have hundreds of photos to sort through let me give you a taste here....
we made art together....
manifesting our hopes and dreams...
and Karen showed us many sights of her fare city....
We wandered through this Magic Garden....mosaic surfaces inside and out, upstairs and down.
an imagination unleashed....
another fanciful path and treasure around every corner.....
we played together....danced together....ate, drank and lounged together
in the comfort of Karen's beautiful home....
Funky Divas...
in all our glory!!!
eb, Karen, spf's, Elizabeth, Susanna, Constance, Isabel and Leslie will be sharing their Stunningly Beautiful Photos and stories....go get inspired....
ooooooooooooweeeeeeeeeeee
honey
you do some kinda
kitchen dance
and your VIEW
is "stunningly BEautiful"
oh my how I enjoyed
basking in your lovely aura
holding that JOY
and YOU
and all of the Divas...
so close to my heart
xox - eb.

Terrific photos here, Stephanie! It was soooo great to finally meet you in person. You are a kind-hearted, interesting person. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your photos along with hearing about Tess and your recent visit to the convention.

Great photos, Steph. I love your eye for color!!! And you have some dance moves, you Diva!
I am so thankful I had a chance to meet all of you Funky Girls and to have an experience of a lifetime. We laughed, we cried, we created, and drank and ate, we took photos like maniacs, and became enriched beyond words.

Gatherings like this are so essential, aren't they? I know I am still basking in the magical afterglow of the one I went to in Sedona(April). Suddenly there are voices in person and facial expressions, art being created by others you see happen before your eyes, dancing, laughing, hugging, deep chats and meals shared. I feel your joy and I love the group photos, seeing all your beautiful faces in one fell swoop! Can't wait to hear and see more!
XOXOXO

Sometimes gatherings such as this and the inspiration that surrounds the art can really choke me up. This is one of those times.

Looks like fun. Love the shot of all you ladies, though I am starting to suspect alcohol was involved ;)
Just kidding!!
