Sometimes you have a day where everything aligns just right.
It was meant to be.
THIS
was one of those days......
Art Is You Dixie
Four VERY tired girls and one VERY willing (ha ha...Linda Willis, get it) teacher.
=
The PERFECT day!!!!
My friends, Kirsten, Carolyn, Julia and I played with no agenda, just a willingness to learn, relax and have FUN....and that we did! Of course, none of us finished our aprons. We got home and said we all wanted to show them together. We planned the date...life got in the way. We cancelled the date. This happened more times that I want to tell you.
But finally....we are ready.
Thank you Linda Willis for a day to remember!
Speaking of Linda Willis, if you have never taken a class with her and have the opportunity--DO IT!!!!! She is pretty darn AMAZING! So giving of her knowledge and talents.
She will be at Art is You Stamford teaching and so will my buddy Carolyn Dube.
You can see the details HERE.
You know what else I'm celebrating with my friends today???
JULIA!!!!
She just made a huge career change and we are celebrating by
welcoming her into blog land.
Watch out art world....here comes JULIA KELLOGG!!!!!
Someday I will say....."I knew her when..." :)
If you haven't already, I would LOVE for you to see the aprons my friends made!
