Something and someone special....

The newest issue of Prim's is out and I am honored and tickled to be a part of it.  

This project and article is 

extra ~ extra 

special to me.

It's about a project I worked on with my dear friend, Iva Wilcox.

It's all about our friendship and how we.....

OH WAIT!  

I can't give it all away.  

Just pick up the lastest issue and read all about it.

Lots of good stuff....

Ahead of the game....

Not quite !

But I like to pretend I am when I am working on Halloween in July!

Tinsel and Treasures is just around the corner and all of the artists are busily working like little bee's 

getting ready.

A new location, a bigger show and wonderful new Make and Take's.

I can't wait !!

Mark your calendar for September 15.

There is a new babe in town....

His name is Otis....

And we like him just fine.

Especially Lola!!

2013 already?

No, it's not 2013 yet, but believe it or not....planning has begun!  

I will be teaching at Terri Brush's Art Camp in the Fall of 2013

in Lincoln City, OR. 

Special guest attendees are Kim Caldwell of Artistic Affaire

and 

Christen Olivarez, Director of Publishing-Stampington & Co.

The cool thing about this event, and what makes it very different, is that the students and instructors all stay together in a couple of beach houses.  Where you lay your head each night (or nap during the day), food (including the preparation of it)  is included in your sign up.  The extended weekend is very laid back and casual.  I've been wanting to attend this camp for quite a while so I'm really excited.

Sign ups are going on now! 

 Terri always sells out quickly so if you have wanted to attend, now is the time!

A talented bunch....

I recently had the honor of teaching a class at Lisa Super's place.

The gals that came to play were super creative and talented.

They worked hard throughout the day.

And their finished pieces were incredible.

I had such a great time being around all these ladies that were oozing happiness and creativity.

Thanks Lisa!

Aaaaand....I'm Off!

Leavin'....

On a jet plane....

TOMORROW!

And I couldn't be more excited.

Meeting up with these 3 lovely ladies
