Yearly Craft Trip with the Gals!

As many of you know, for the past several years I have made a yearly trip down to Arkansas in October to meet up with a group of females - both relatives and friends - for a weekend full of crafting and eating! Well, since Steve's Aunt Ginger, who always plays host to us crazy ladies, has moved from NW Arkansas to the Kansas City area, we changed things up a bit. Instead of traveling to Arkansas, the group met at Ginger's beautiful new home around the end of September. We still got to eat Ginger's wonderful soups & goodies and enjoyed a beautiful day in the park at an Overland Park craft show.
Following are 2 attempts at a group picture. I have a new(er) digital camera, and apparently I'm still trying to figure out the zoom feature. The first pic I took I cut out half the group...
...and in the second picture I was far off, and didn't account for the sun. Unfortunately, this was the best shot I came up with...but I have a bunch of funny trial shots that I'll share with those involved another time!
Here's a picture of me and my mom...
...and here is my mom and her friend Kathy. (They always take such good pics together!)
Mom, Kathy and I broke off from the group and made our way to a small town SE of KC called Greenwood. This little town had a couple of fabulous antique stores...and best of all, both stores had lots of WOOL!!! Here's a pic of our smaller group while waiting for our Sonic drinks in the car! Not too flattering...but fun!
And here is a shot of the beautiful wool I picked up at one of the stores in Greenwood. Can't wait to show you all my finished rug!!!
