Monarch Workshop

This past weekend I had the luxury of attending Monarch Workshop.  The workshop is run by an incredible group of women (including our very own Madeline) and aims to support “those who need a little push, those who are looking for a creative connection, and those who need inspiration to believe they can follow their dreams.”

The attendees were made up of a spectacular group of women whose occupations ranged from bloggers to therapists and real estate agents to artists.  The two day workshop consisted of non-stop activities (lessons, speakers, crafting) that catered to the mind, body and soul. It was FABULOUS.

Our fearless leader, Jennifer Paganelli, was a guest speaker and led the group in creating vision books.  The books were created by gluing inspiring cut outs (words, quotes, images) from magazines onto blank notebook pages.

There was yoga and lessons in make-up and skincare. We made our own dream catchers, ate delicious food (from the ladies at Whisk + Brush) and had a tutorial in all things confetti! Take a look below of more images from the incredibly talented Victoria Gloria:

Make Ornaments

I’m on a mission and you all know that by now and that is to make Girls World known around the world and to start a movement of young sewers!!  To get young girls and boys cause the boys love to make the puppies!!  So if you are teaching or sewing with Girls World we will send you ” Living a Girls World badge”  to help empower young girls to create!!  So what we’ve done is adapt the book for the Holidays and show you how versatile and inspiring these pages can be!!! Take the Ambassador of Good Will badges and adapt for ornaments!!  Take old ephemera, copy at Fedex Kinkos and create some wonderful handmade ornaments..resources are in the book!! Happy Holidays with love from Sis Boom!!

Another great idea!!
