I think it’s going to take me a week to recover, lol. The traveling, late nights and early mornings took their toll.

As usual, Sara Douglas gave a wonderful presentation. This year it was about loneliness. She spoke about how a group of friends in a circle can ‘open’ their circle, letting other people in and including them. I encountered both open circles and closed ones during the event and I need to be more aware of when I ‘close’ my circle. Sometimes when we are with a group of friends we get so caught up in having fun together that we don’t think of people outside of our group who may be feeling lonely and left out.

Note the gorgeous hummingbird tag from roommate Diane Lanfer.

I couldn’t believe how heavy this black backpack was on the way home! I was really proud of myself that I managed to get everything into my backpack and bag for the trip home.

Piles of swap cards to share and some make and takes. Note the color wheel? The new catalog has lots of info about combining colors.

This new mix of In Colors really compliments the returning In Colors (2023-2025).

Here are printable lists of the retiring products for you. The sale starts April 9 but I would suggest purchasing any of the items that aren’t on sale right away. They tend to go fast, especially the In Color items.

Check out the fun April Paper Pumpkin Kit! The add on dies below coordinate with April, May, and June PP kits. The item number is 164397.

Thanks for stopping by the Roost.
