Party at Pepa's!

The ARt Girls gathered at Pepa's delightful home for the August birthday girls party. Party favors awaited us on the patio, we each received a potted begonia and a special button to wear.
Some of Pepa's beautiful roses.
Susan Bezek, who will be teaching at Art & Soul in Portland brought us some show and tell brooches that she had made. She also brought us each a doll project to work on. She had pre-sewn all the doll parts for us and even printed out vintage faces.
Maren, Barbara, and Penny sharing a hug and showing off Maren's new cast. She broke her arm on a bike ride, but is healing nicely.
Here's Syd and sweet grandbaby, Maddy.
We had delicious tostadas for lunch and cupcakes for dessert!
Some of our completed dolls, Susan's is on the left. The body is a matchbox that opens.
Here is one of Susan's dolls...
and what fun presents! These wrapped up by Ms. Penny in black and white. She made each birthday girl a special necklace.
Yoyos by Colleen, the yoyo queen!
More yoyos in a garland!
Susan Halme gave the girls each an Olive Rose doll....love her work!

We all had such a fun time visiting, making dolls, eating lunch and opening presents! Such a great group of women...I feel so lucky to spend time with these creative and inspiring ladies!
