Well this is my New class that I will be teaching Mystic Paper in Mesa, Arizona the weekend of September 11 & 12. They are having their 5 year Anniversary. I have known those sweet girls for lets see about 5 years now when they used to have a Antiques store with a small scrapbook section in the back. They are just the nicest ladies. Cant wait to get back to Arizona and see them!
So hard to get on the Art train when you stop for a while. I have felt so uninspired for the past 3 months. Not that there are inspiring things out there, but personally I have been at a stand still. I have gone back and forth deciding if I should just stop doing this Hobby all together, but it seems the Universe has some other plans. I sent in book I did about a year ago with some great Artists. I knew it was going to get published, but had no idea when or where. That is until I was at Barnes and Nobles this weekend and found this.... How fun is that? Made me think of how much I love to do Collaborative journals with other Artists, that is when I am happiest in my Art. I think I might have to put one together again. That is when I came home and created this book....
the same night I checked my email and got one from Jenifer at Mystic Paper asking if I wanted to teach on thier 5 year Anniversary.......that was it for me........
In other news My husband and I celebrated our 9 year Anniversary... gulp! Wow, that long? We have had our normal ups and downs........ we cant stand each others basketball teams......... and yes don't put us in the room together when they are playing each other! But we can agree on one thing......... he is so good to Me and Darianne..
What little girl wouldn't love to open her room to this.........
When she opened up her room she was on the floor laughing so hard........ He propped all the dolls on her bed and put every hat she owns on them.... she will remember this, I know I would.
Life has been good to us here in California... yes we did have a earthquake... but sure forgot about it this past weekend with the most amazing weather. First Memorial Day weekend in 10 years where we actually sat outside the whole day without going in the pool. Gotta love it. This Summer I plan on being at being at the beach 4 days out of the week, heck lets make it 5! Also loving the garden.. we have a orange and lime tree........ the oranges are to die for...... Well that is all for now hopefully it wont be another month before I come back!
What a glorious place I have walked into! Thanks for scattering joy! You are to be congratulated on your book and such a lovely blog! Blessings, Amy
