(ya had to be there....)

We're back!! what a great time we had. hanging out, talking, creating, sight seeing, eating, and more talking and hanging out. What a wonderful way to spend a weekend. All the girls are so much fun and so very creative. the cottage was beautiful that we rented. Niagara on the lake is a gorgeous place filled with fun shops, restaurants and bakerys. And of course, Niagara Falls is breath taking. We had a great mix of silliness and laughter along with a few more serious conversations. We stayed out of trouble and behaved.. (well, mostly...)

We enjoyed the fresh scent of all the flowers on the porch and in the town, as well as the sweet smell of some bakery and candy stores and of sweet rolls and cupcakes baking in the oven, as well as some not so very sweet scents... (umm, but we wont go there, even though that, those times, really were part of the highlights of the weekend!

We swapped gifts and we each made a special softie which we drew names and exchanged. All of the softies were awesome! I got Nataleas sweet YO YO doll, which I adore.. (and I adore her too I might add)!

And The very awesome and very interesting Maija got mine, which was the pink bear I showed in my last post!

I took about 1oo pictures but of course i wont post them all, though, I thought I would share a few!

Martha is a good teacher and we made the sweetest bags!

the Falls are gorgeous! we had dinner in the skyline tower... way high in the sky!! but what a gorgeous view!

WE brought our little friends with us to the falls.. they loved having their pictures taken.. and I think that some of the tourists thought we were nuts..

(they would be correct!)

And, look who missed me!

heehee.. arent they freaken cute!
