Rachel and Rie--Happy in Hachie!

Last weekend I was lucky to go on a quickie get-away with Rachel to Waxahachie where we attended the Paper Cowgirl Altered Art Retreat! It was so interesting! Above is a wedding dress crafted from coffee filters! There were also Velveeta cheese boxes made into some decorative and useful items.

Rachel and I took a 3-hour class to make this "Vintage Tag Mobile." When I took mine home, Walter said, "What in the world is this?" ha ha. Only a few people understand!

After our class we shopped in downtown and at the retreat vendors' sale. There were a lot of old vintage items, which are treasures and inspirations to these creative souls at this retreat.

We returned from our weekend outing with a huge chicken and a wedding dress in our car! (No, not the coffee filters dress!) Actually Rachel loves lace and couldn't resist a bargain vintage wedding dress which she envisions remaking, recycling or selling. Rachel loves to sew.

On our way home Sunday, we visited The Avenue Church there. We had a great time together!
