we instead left at 3 (or was it 4?). me, jen, rachel & bekah met up with erika at the hotel. it was lovely. we were greeted with:
and we were soso relaxed and relieved to be there.
this didn't last long of course, once the asti was opened.
out we went to whole foods for some delicious snacky snacks and for me, ibuprofen. 5 girls, 4 of them bleeding, 2 of them sick. i conveniently got the flu and my period on friday - lovely, no? the car was filled with crafts, estrogen and a veritable treasure trove of herbal medicines. and ibuprofen.
so we ate and went to the tavern on the main to meet some other vendors and hang out w/ yen & mike. hurrah! then back to the hotel to craft some more and to PLAY ON THE BEACH AT MIDNIGHT.
check out rachel's awesome pajamas. she needs a smoking jacket. and don't ask what jen's doing to my butt, i have no idea.
must... craft.... cannot..... stop!!
on the way to beach - this is jen & erika's american apparel shot:
the beach was cold and quiet and dark. the sand was freezing! like soft soft sugar. so different from ft myers beaches, which are full of shells. i was able to run about without fear of sharp cuts and stick-a-burrs.
much frolicking ensued:
and then the fun photos began. the cold makes us delirious, not the free beer at the tavern.
so many stars...
and unexplained objects
the dangers came from all sides
fear is the path to the dark side. fear leads to anger. anger leads to hate. hate leads to suffering
and yet, we were able to relax enough for some interpretive dance. there is always time for interpretive dance. we are the ocean.
erika really wanted to go skinny dipping until we realized creepy people were watching. go to bed, man! it's midnight!
anyways, the next day was full of coffee and crafts.
here's the auditorium:
us, pre-show
jen & rachel had this awesome idea for a logo sign!
and, our booth. lovely, no? :)
hopefully you were able to stay with me the duration of my trip down memory lane. i now love the beach and want to go back. so soft!! though, probably imported.
i should.... probably get back to work now. mayhaps i'll have time to write more later.

How cute are you, GFSS?
Your pictures are awesome - from the beach to the show...oh lordy.
Does this super-heavy image post mean that all-things-class-related are finally off your plate? Or is this a wonderfully elaborate way to procrastinate (for which I will give you snaps)?
Love the pictures, especially the night shots... Seems to remind me of some post-homecoming pictures taken many a moon ago!
And how the heck do I find out about amazing craft shows like this one that could be going on right under my nose here in B'ham?? Help!
Great Photos...living up here I forget how lovely Florida can be! And your booth is to die for! I Adore your jellyfish!!!
If I don't get t mention it sooner, merry christmas!
