Our Totem de Vida published!





Just had our final meeting before we head off on our wonderful workshop in San Miguel de Allende for Day of the Dead.  We were so excited to see this year's project featured in Cloth Paper Scissors. If you haven't already received your copy, I would hurry out to Barnes and Noble and pick up a copy. The folks at CPS did a fantastic job of photographing our Totem de Vida, capturing the vibrant colors of Mexico! Here we are at our meeting with our project and magazine article proudly displayed!
The 4 Amigas-Jane, Helen, Lynn and Laurie (Leslie our trusty coordinator was taking the pic!)



It was a grueling meeting ironing out all the details! Just joking....our meetings are at a yummy coffee shop and are usually 3 hours in length...and they involve a lot of laughing! But we do work too!
Ironing out the final details


Here is a little glimpse of our project which we were all obviously excited to photograph, hence the dualing I-Pads!  See you soon!
