This was a whirlwind weekend at Gina's store, with Gina, her husband Tom, Melanie and Theresa for lots of learning and visiting and meeting so many wonderful ladies and one man that was a student with us I had so much fun. I am so happy that I am only an hour or so away, but many people came from all over the country! Some drove long hours and some flew here.
This first Gina weekend event was worth every penny.
The Hampton Inn, where most spent the weekend, had provided us with such great service and terrific place to collapse each night. They were wonderful to us!
We learned so much- great techniques and tons of goodies. This post contains the pics I took- both of some of the instructors, followed by the cards I made in the classes. ENJOY!

Sorry for the very full post and since I was so anxious to give you a taste I didn't edit or crop these photos, but I hope you like looking at them.
Can you leave me a comment????

Hi Karen,
Thanks for the great post about this past wonderful weekend. I can only totally echo your sentiments. I enjoyed having lunch with you on Saturday. Thanks for sharing how you organize the pictures of your cards. I may borrow your idea. You are so lucky to live close enough that you can visit the shop occasionally.
Hi Karen!! Thanks so much for posting photos and cards that are from the great "Gina weekend"!! These kind of posts help me to feel like I am at least a little part of it. TFS and your cards are terrific!! :)
Looks like a FUN TIME was had! The cards you made are FABULOUS!! Just mark your photos of who they are and this post is over the top awesome! Lucky duck you only live an hour away!
Thanks so much for sharing your photos and your beautiful cards! I really would have loved to attend and meet Gina, Theresa, Karen, and Melanie. They are my crafting celebrities and I am a huge fan.
Great photos and wonderful cards. Thanks for sharing. Now I am really jealous but getting there from Canada isn't really feasible unless one is wealthy enough to be able to spend what ever one wants whenever one wants.
Thankyou for all the pictures! It's so nice to see live and recent pictures if Gina Melanie and Theresa. Finally able to put a face to the name and voice! !
