Villa Gorilla

Last weekend, I was invited to a friend's vacation home on the New River in Virginia. Thanks, Wendy!! 6 friends enjoyed a weekend of crafty fun and fellowship and good eats!

I decided to prepare several kits to make cards for my contact notes. I write a note to each of my contacts and place them in the top of each box of cards from Operation Write Home. It's tough staying ahead, and I set a goal to make 100 cards.

Here are the kits I prepared ahead of time.


Next, I had to load all the stuff into my totes. I wanted to take only what I needed. It was still quite a load!


3 of us got a head start on the others, but we still managed to cover the kitchen island!


Cards done!


Final count? 101! These will get me through the next couple of months. 

Maybe I need to get another invite to Villa Gorilla in June!! It's a great place to relax and play.

  2. These are great Dixie! I bet you guys had a blast. It's always fun and a totally different experience to craft as a group. Tell me does Wendy have Magilla (Gorilla) as a pet at the Villa? :)
