Woo hoo! Looks like you won a million bucks-but Barbie (the case too)is awesome and so are the patterns-lucky, lucky you!
All are great photos!!!

Jeanne said...

The Artistic Affaire event looks like it was a blast. What a fun time you all must have had. I can't believe Kim had all these ladies in her house for the classes. She must have a HUGE place cause it looks like there were a lot of you. Oh and that surprise gift from Kim...totally awesome! Speaking of Barbie, did you see the article in the June issue of Country Living Magazine (page 65)...it brought back so many fond memories.

Sherry said...

Oh I can't believe you were at "the naughty loud table"!!! Now I'm really envious that I wasn't there -- that would have been MY table too!!!

You so lucked out -- Kim was very generous with the gift and when I saw that Barbie case my mouth dropped open -- I had one like that!!!
