just what we all needed
Women need women. I am so grateful for the influence of such remarkable women in my life. Older, younger, near and far. I am surrounded by amazing people. This weekend, 10 of us gathered from 5 different states, crashed Karolyn's house, did some serious bargain shopping, made a bazillion necklaces for our daughters (you're seeing a fraction of the completed ones), painted, mod-podged, sewed, ate, talked, and decided sleep was unnecessary for the weekend.
I'm exhausted and yet totally rejuvenated. I am ready to be a better wife & mother & homemaker. And ... speaking of ready ... I'm getting ready to launch PROJECT LIFE. Yes, I'll be telling you more. Yes, you'll be seeing the full product. Yes, I'll have video to tell you about it. Yes, it will be available to purchase. Yes, it will all be right here at beckyhiggins.com.
Stay tuned.

Adorable necklaces! What kind of beads are those? Where did you buy them? My 4 year old daughter would love one and I love making jewelry. Sounds like you had a ton of fun. :o)
I love girls weekends! And Yes we do need them to serve our families better.
Cannot wait to hear more about Project Life. I am catching up my journaling for Project 365 today.
I'd also like to know more about the beads for the girls necklaces. My daughter (5) and her little cousins (ages 4- 7) would like me to make one for them I'm sure!
Thanks for the reminder on the importance of "girls weekend"...I'm gonna get on the phone and schedule one SOON!
Can't wait to hear more about Project Life!! Have a great week.

Wow, the necklaces are beautiful. I just got back from a girls retreat at a SPA and it was fabulous. We had laughs, food, and scrapping.
Can't wait to hear about the Project Life. Have a great week.
OH my! ... those necklaces are just lovely :) My daughter would be in 7th heaven... please share where you found those beads? maybe a "How-to" would be nice :) thanks for sharing!
Seriously...I would really know how to go about planning a girls weekend. I am worried I would get everyone together and flown in and not know what to end up doing!!!
;-) Please share some more ideas of fun things or projects you guys were up to!
I am so ready for a girlfriend's retreat. 10 years of wife and motherhood (in the military, moving every few years) is definitely burnout time. Sounds like you all had a great time and made some beautiful things! Can't wait to hear more about PL.
sounds like a great weekend. Don't have any girls to give a necklace to, but looking forward to the new Project Life, so I can pass it down to my boys. :)
It's always fun to get away with crafty friends. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Project Life!
Every November a couple of my girlfriends and I get together and go to craft fairs, and shop till we drop, eat great food-Tortilla Soup is always on the menu and we each make it slightly different. We gab and gab, laugh and cry, and hardly sleep. Make a craft of two.
Just like you said, I feel better and ready to to take on regular life again. We have been doing this for over 20 years.
It is a must do. This year even with buying a new home, and hopefully be moving in to it at that time, I will not miss. I'm a better person when I come home, or after they leave. We rotate houses each year.
Great friends are priceless.
Sounds like an awesome weekend. So excited to hear more about Project Life.
Where did you get the cute beads for the girls necklaces?
Also, are the orange & white organizing containers on your blog picture from IKEA?
Sounds like you had a fun weekend.
Can't wait to order Project Life.
Another girl wanting to know more about the necklaces!!! Those are FAB.
Excited about Project life too.

How do we order "Becky products" not available anymore from CK?
I'm interested in your best of Becky's sketches and your school kit.
Thanks.
I too have a girls weekend every summer with the same group of girls from highschool (I'm 34). We love eachother dearly and have faced a lot together, marriages, babies, parents dying, seperation etc...we rely and need one another and we always come home better people!! I'm happy to hear you are rejuvinated once again:)
Can't wait to hear about PL!!! I hope I am able to get one:)

You are one lucky woman, Miss Becky!! A recent vacation with your honey AND a girls' weekend??? You are very blessed!
Can't wait to see the video about PROJECT LIFE!!
Cannot wait to hear and see more about Project Life! I hope I am able to get one!
everyone wants to know about the necklaces for their daughters...i want one for me :)
Triple love them.
What is 'last chance'...is that some special store?
Missing you already after reading about our retreat. Way excited for PROJECT LIFE!!!
Oh Becky, like every other girl here drooling over the beads-you can't just post a picture of a darling craft and not share it with us...?
The beads are so yummy & colorful, I want to make these for my girls as well, even though they are a bit older, they would enjoy them all the same!
And you are right, girl weekends are so important for us, as we re-connect, take a breather, and enjoy some down time just being 'us'...it does make us better wives, mothers & friends.
Can't wait to see more of your PROJECT LIFE!
Thank you for ALL that you do.
I cant wait until Project Life is released, I missed out on 365 and still feel like the one girl not invited to the party and then you have to hear about all the fun they had without you!
I hope there are plenty to go around and we wont have all the negativity from last year.
Love those necklaces, will watch for more info / how to on that.
Sounds like you've had a great time! Cute beads!
THESE ARE SO ADORABLE! Can't wait to hear about everything!!!! Project Life - How to Make the Necklaces - and details on the retreat :-))))
I LOVE LOVE LOVE! the beads you used on those necklaces. Where did you get them?
Can't wait for Project Life, I too missed out on 365 and am excited to do it. I have your baby albums and love them.
The necklaces are fabulous! I, too, would love to have sources for the beads and a tutorial for the necklaces!
