This week we've got something 

 

~FABULOUS~

 

(After all, we don't call it FABULOUS FRIDAY for nothing!)

 

How would you like to win some 

 

THE CREATIVE CONNECTION 

*Swag?

 

*Stuff We All Get

 

Before I give the details, I have to share this image …

 

Tcc3

 

This is just the tip of the iceberg of what THE CREATIVE CONNECTION was all about. We learned, shopped, spent time with friends … But it was much more than that. We mingled with artists who are our role models, and found out that they are just as wonderful as we had pictured. We heard inspirational words from women who had taken a chance on their dreams and succeeded. We learned new skills from master artists who were happy to teach us "tricks of the trade". We met with best friends both old and new, and enjoyed ourselves silly eating fabulous meals.

We truly had the most wonderful time!

So we say THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts to all of our

attendees and staff,

sponsors and keynote speakers,

panelists and teachers,

artists and vendors


~THANK YOU~

 

You made our FIRST ever TCC

 

FABULOUS

AMAZING

WONDERFUL

&

INSPIRING


so clear your calendar ….

    WWC is my daily reminder that there is more to life than the day to day struggle to survive as a single mom. You inspire me to be a creative woman setting an example for my 19 year old daughter. She has learned that unless I have my time every day to sew or knit or stitch, I am not the best me! Thanks for your inspiration! We hope to attend Creative Connection together next year!
