our first monthly craft day

before we moved here, my friends and i in waco used to have a monthly scrapbook day where we would get together and scrapbook for hours. (totally miss that!)
anyway, i decided to have a monthly craft day at my house where we would get together and work on any sort of craft we wanted to--knitting, scrapbooking, cardmaking, sewing, etc.

so today was the first day and we had such a fun time!

here are patricia & april while we were still eating

and here i am with julie--look at all of us in our glasses. how cute!
(i was wearing mine because i had an unfortunate experience that might or might not include these words: jalapenos, fingers, contact lenses, eyes)

we had the yummiest treats
here is julie's famous basil pesto hero sandwich that was fabulous!

patricia brought dates covered in coconut with an almond on top--yum!

i made a fruit salad and a ham/cheese/mushroom/jalapeno quiche that, sadly, i didn't take a picture of. but they were both really good.

and april made these lemon raspberry cupcakes that i could have eaten my weight in!

those were all the pictures i took.
as you can see, crafting was not at the top of our list today.
we did look through julie's pictures of disney, i started helping april make a card and patricia worked on a snapfish album.
(april's daughter was also here and i was watching a friend's little girl and i didn't get pictures of them--sorry! and several other friends couldn't be here--hopefully next month guys!!)
but we had a nice time just talking and visiting.
and i think i have a new project life convert in april. i was showing her my albums and she loved them!

up next is the wedding i went to last weekend...stay tuned.
