being sick with a sore throat sucks
poop.
But at least I can use this time at home to blog! Lol. My dad went out to dimsum and I turned down going with him because I didn’t think I would have fun swallowing my food. :( Wah. They’re bringing back some congee for me though… hurrah I guess!
Anyhoo, a bunch of us from the Vancouver Indie Crafters group met up on the weekend for coffee and cake, a post-Christmas gift exchange and lots of chatter. It was a great turn out and I’m so glad to have met up with all the new faces and the already familiar ones.
Here’s a quick lil peek at the craftiness of everyone who attended (sorry if I missed anyone!)
Amanda from ebb and flo. I was the lucky recipient of Amanda’s gift in the exchange (second year in a row now! ;) ) and I received a beaatifully made silver crochet bracelet with pearls and sky blue accents! Lovely! :)
Angie of Jewelled Peach Designs
Alexis of Phiber Smith Designs
Heather of Left Winged Mama (Jen, I borrowed the pic from your blog - I hope you don’t mind!)
Jayme of Trashbaggs (this is Lynns’ daughter – I love to see that creativity runs in the family!)
And I *think* that’s it… I’m so sorry if I missed someone!
It was a nice time to just chat and share our crafty resources and just to get out with a lovely bunch of ladies and relax. If you’re in the Vancouver area and want to join us next time just give me a shout and I’ll let you know when it’s happening.
Cheerio!
Rita

Feel better soon! It look like you had a lot of great craftiness at your gathering.
Lots of familiar shops I see! Wish I could have made it there. Maybe next time :)
Thanks for posting this Rita! and of course thanks for setting up the gathering, it was really nice as a newbie to get to meet people face to face.
Also, your site is beautiful!
