It's a Creative Round-Up of food, fun and crafts! So get your "cowgirl" on and come join Tina and I for the Fall "mini" Art Retreat, on Saturday, October 3RD.
The theme of this one-day retreat is "wonderful whimsy". If you need a Mom's Day out, leave the kiddo's with Dad and come play with us. If you need a Girl's Day out, grab your best bud and come craft away. Or if you just need to inspire your muse and recharge your batteries, we can do that too! Three great classes and a fantastic lunch, in a wonderful classroom (and shopping) setting . Great shopping, food, fun (and cupcakes) will be just the boost you need to life your spirits and recharge your artsy juices. Sounds wicked cool does'nt it? LOL. Tina and I think so. Wanna see more? Go here!
Wanna see some of the fun? Here are a few pics from last Junes Paper Cowgirl. And while the fall one will be on a smaller scale, it will be just as fun.
1. my journal page class. 2. Ann-Denise Crepe class. 3. Meet and Greet at The Dove's Nest 4. Mendy and Terri in Jan's Canvas class. 5. Student art from Jan's Canvas class. 6. Someone working hard in the soldering class. 7. Myself, Tina and Mendy. 8. Student projects from Dales Canvas Class. 9. The happy group from Ann-Denise's class. All from June 2009.
Come for the day and experience three classes that will allow you to try new techniques (beeswax, stitching and working with wire). You may develop a new passion or just find something that will enhance your current favorite medium.
And don't just take my word for it. We have recommendations. Yes.
Paper Cowgirl??? For two
years in a row Tina and Cindy (the head cowgirls) plan incredible
classes, amazing projects, and find the most talented instructors. I
loved having pretty supplies all set up ready to go, learning a new
technique and being able to finish a project in one day. We're so
fortunate to have an art retreat of this quality in the South. To top
it all off Tina and Cindy make sure there's a little time for shopping
and the yummiest lunches around then throw in some cupcakes.
The only problem was that it was just once a year! Well they fixed
that...there's a fabulous one day retreat coming up - wax paintings,
wristlets and crowns OH MY! Can't wait. - Nancy Reeb
And this:
My many thanks go out to you both and to all the other teachers involved in this past June’s Paper Cowgirl retreat in Waxahachie, Texas. I merely stumbled upon the PC site by a whim and I was delighted to find out about the retreat. I convinced my dear friend to join me in this adventure and I not only had a blast, but she did as well. The instructors were great and the class selections were awesome. It was so nice to meet so many artists in so many walks of life and just have a great time together….not to mention the cupcakes…that didn’t hurt the situation either!! The meet and greet night, the vendor’s night, and our special evening out antiquing in downtown Waxahachie were definitely icing on the cupcake. - Liesl
Over the next few Fridays I want to give you a peek at the talented Texas gals who will be teaching our beeswax, crown and stitched wrist-let class. So, even if you live to far away to attend, come back and check out these fantastic girls artwork. You will be inspired.
Cindy, this sounds like sooooo much fun! We are having a big program that weekend at church that I am in charge of or I'd be there! I AM planning on June though. Sounds like crafty girl heaven.:)

How I would love to come! I do need some time to nurture my creative side. If only VA wasn't so far from TX.
