...to Stephanie's house and workshop to learn , create and share a real good time . Together, Tery, Evelyn , Colleen and I made an excursion into Altered Arts under Stephanie's directions, we stayed up very late because we did not want to stop making our Journal or Album covers .

Stephanie had cooked a big pot of her Minestrone Soup which we enjoyed in the evening for supper together with her husband,Mom in-law and in company of the most spoiled member of the family,cute little doggie Diamond.

Steph gave us a tour of their house which kept us uuuhing and ahhhing because she has her dolls displayed throughout and what eye candies they are , each a piece of art and so precious !

A very memorable experience indeed , a real treat ... Sadly , I had to leave after breakfast in the morning , missing making the purse using various layers of fabric and fibers with machine stitched embroidery that Steph was going to teach us ..... , but I had already accepted an earlier invitation to a Valentinesday Luncheon from my friend Traudl .

In January , Steph brought her own design "Le Chat" to the Arley B. workshop . I knew right away that I would want to make her next and Arley instantly fell in love with Steph's Le Chat doll , bought her on the spot and took her home with him. So I asked to purchase this pattern from Steph and generous as she is, she gave each of us one of her pattens as a gift.Thanks,Stephi
