You can't go meet some seriously crafty ladies without a little crafty goodness to share :)
And inside? Delicious dark chocolate Ghiradelli brownies, made with Andes Mints in the middle! (Got the recipe from the PTI blog ;)
So their's didn't have the handmade on the back because I was making them up to the minute Suzanne pulled in my driveway ;) But it was supposed to look like this:
And I wasn't the only one who came bearing gifts...which totally made me giggle :) These AMAZING crocheted flower embellishments were handmade by none other than Christina. I was blown away by her creativity and kindness! And check out the adorable packaging, too:
Yesterday started off with a shoebox swap with 3 of my crafty friends (I'll post pics of that later) and ended with a trip into Boston to meet up with 3 awesome fellow PTI lovers and bloggers. Suzanne drove (thanks Suzanne!) and we met up with Amy who is in town for some training, and Christina who took the T in to meet us at Amy's hotel. We went all around the Prudential Mall (I think that's what its called) looking for a place that didn't have a 3 hour wait on a Saturday night, and settled on Cheesecake Factory with an hour wait, but that hour went by so fast, because we were talking craft talk the whole time :) Amy brought along one of her coworkers, and she was laughing at us because she said we were all so much alike. Anyway, it was such an exciting night, and I didn't quit smiling the whole time, they are SO sweet!
It was so wonderful meeting YOU last night, Jessica! I had such a great time. I can't wait to post a photo of the "sweet" gift you gave me, it is absolutely darling and so kind of you to share! I'm already looking forward to our next meeting! ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteI had such a great time Jessica! I truly enjoyed the hour wait for Cheesecake Factory! I wish we could get together to actually craft together......would be totally awesome!
