Blooming Wild Weekend - Newark, NJ

Hello friends,

OMG! I had the BEST time at the Blooming Wild Weekend event in April of this year. This was an event taught by Paige Evans and Shara Crane along with special guests Kelly Daye and Vee Morales! 

When I heard that Paige was coming to the East Coast, as close to Toronto as she may ever get, I knew I couldn't miss the opportunity to finally meet her and take an in-person class with her. 

The classes taught by these ladies were stellar. We made the most amazing projects with Paige's new collection. There were roughly 40 of us at this event and I made so many new crafty friends. I even met a few that I was already following on IG! 

Here are photos of the beautiful projects we created. And then keep scrolling to see some more photos that I took at the event.

I am so thrilled with all the beautiful projects we created in this jam-packed two day weekend! The chunky charm was something I'd never created before but always wanted to learn how. So excited to make more of these!

I am positively grateful that I was able to experience this weekend and for such a supportive husband who gets my obsession with this hobby. 😊 Scrapbooking and meeting like-minded crafty friends is food for the soul.
