in a couple of days time i will be heading off to the united states for a couple of weeks! i am going to artfest with my dear friend karen. we can't wait. there have been lots of excited phone calls and planning and now we are finally going. michael and the children are going to keep the home fires burning. thank goodness though, for communications the way they are today because i will miss them terribly. i did tell prairie that i would check on google earth to make sure they were matching the pegs when they hung out the washing!
karen, who has been to artfest two times already, said that everyone takes things to trade. the theme this year is woodland so i made these little woodsy garlands. i still have a dent on my hand from all the cutting (i made 50 sets) but they were fun to make and i really enjoyed painting them all, its been awhile.
after artfest, i am having another treat - i'm going to have a bloggy old time in person with this cooler than cool peep!! i can't wait for this either!
so, is anyone else out there going? let me know, i'll be here for a couple more days. michael thought he might do the odd post on my blog. adding his touch would be nice he thinks. i'll be checking that along with the pegs!!!

Louise, I am so glad I got to meet you at artfest - it wouldn't have been half as fun without you as a housemate!
