I’m not even sure where to begin. I had a girl crush on Shauna Alterio <\/a>before I got to Philly last Thursday night… but then I met her {and her wonderful husband Stephen<\/a>!}<\/em>, and well, I am in complete awe of both of them. They literally are creative geniuses, and their home… my word, it’s like waking up in an artsy heaven! Have a look:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yeah, I know! We spent Friday setting up for Saturday {and we may have found some time to go out for brunch, and then a delicious dinner in downtown Philly!}.<\/em> I fell asleep in this gorgeous loft, and woke up bright and early – ready for another GIRL CRUSH to get underway! An amazing group of women arrived {along with a whole bunch of much-needed coffee and plates full of yummy pastries}<\/em>, and then, the even more amazing conversation got started:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is GIRL CRUSH No.5, and I am always still so moved by the conversation that springs up during our morning of creative block bashing exercises. There are definite themes that have come up at each event, but the most consistent thing is the open, honest, heart-felt words that each person openly shares. Without getting too mushy on you, it truly does warm my heart.<\/p>\n

Ok, so after about five pots of coffee {thank you Stephen!}<\/em>, it was time for a delicious catered\u00a0lunch… and then, of course, onto the art!!! Oh. So. Many. Supplies!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Collages on found book covers! Love, love, love! What else do I love while making art? Yes… whoopie pies!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sugar. An essential part of the art-making process. They were graciously donated by Coco Love<\/a> {thank you!}<\/em>… oh, and speaking of graciously donated things, the gift bags were so heavy, I could barely pick them up!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you soooo much to our lovely sponsors:<\/p>\n

Yes. It was an amazing event! My crush on Shauna has definitely grown, but she might have a little competition, living right under her very own roof:<\/p>\n

{photo credit: all photos were taken by women at the event. The last two in the post were from Lisa<\/a>, anything with a little ‘L’ in the bottom right corner was taken by Leslie<\/a>, and everything else was shot by Shauna & Stephen.
