My sister's and I adopted my mom's tradition that she has with her sisters. Every year, just us girls get together and do a craft or some fun activity and just enjoy being together. Last year, we scrapbooked for a week straight! This year, we just had a weekend together, and the guys ended up coming too, but we still got to do our "Girl Activity". My mom brought down these really cute piece of cake pin cushions for all us along with a peanut brittle treat, choc. truffles and cute journal. Holly brought down goods to make a really good dinner and my sister Wendy was in charge of the activity. She brought down the makings for a really cute purse.
We made our purses from strips of fabric that we picked out. It was fun to choose the strips for our purse and sew them together and see them become a purse.
The guys helped by making some of the meals and entertaining the kids.
Here is my new purse completed! I love the new accessories. The magnet snap to keep my purse closed and the key chain gadget so I don't have to dig in my purse forever to find my keys, and of course pickets that I made to fit my cell phone and other things.
Since my birthday was just a few days before they got here, my mom got an ice cream cake and we celebrated my birthday. The cake was really good, (from safeway). It colored our mouths blue!
The picture in the right corner is my new favorite scent! Cashmere Mist! It smells so good but not too strong! Thanks Mom!
It was so neat to have all MY family here. We all live far apart so getting us all together doesn't happen as much as I wish it would.

I hear ya...in laws are great but there is nothing like your OWN family and sisters...I'm so glad you had such a good time! Your purses look really neat and convenient- way to go! and Happy Belated :)
I love the pictures, Summer. Your purse turned out so pretty. I'm still trying to finish mine. I've just had other stuff to do since we got home. Those couple of days at your house were fun and I just loved everything we got to do! Heidi and Gingi look cute in their matching outfits. Thanks for posting the pics. ♥
It's fun to looks at those pictures. I'm glad I come and have a good time with everybody. I think I had the most fun playing with the kids. Heidi and Jack were kind of afraid of me at first, but I think by the end they liked it when I went to play with them. And little Ginger was so funny and cute--dancing around and showing off. Hehehe!
♥ How dang fun!!! I need to start something like that!!! Love the purse!!! :)
