What I like in an instructor is a friendly person. I'm taking your class in St. Louis in March. Can't wait--you can just bring my give-away to St. Louis--no need to draw names--it will save you time. Ha!--:) Penny in Missouri :)

Your blog is very inspiring. I especially love that houses ruler.The best instructors:• are organized, so that all supplies and hand-outs are available• maintain a good pace• walk around the class, taking the time to make suggestions or help.• patient with questions• has a sense of humor and shares tips as well as techniques.

If you will both send me your address, we'll get your goodies ready to ship next week.

And to finish up the last contest...(this was the one that involved guessing my art in the Maya Road catalog)...

Margie H got her prize package yesterday. Check out what she got & what she had to say. I think she liked it!

Can't have a post without a photo, so I'll show you this cutie...


I didn't get to see this guy "in person" 'til I got to CHA. What a fun project this will be. It's Maya Road's new Townehouse. The size is small...5 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 2 1/2...so think of the size of an index card. SMALL & ADORABLE.

I got 2 boxes of supplies yesterday from Mr. Fed-Ex...TONS of grungeboard arrived and a giant box of Maya Road goodies, which are all for the 5 March classes. Look out Bloomington, Rockford & St. Louis...I'll see you in March! Let me know if you have any questions about the classes. For those of you taking any of the grungeboard classes...we're doing a surprise project in addition to the grunge vase!! 2 projects = twice the fun!!

And one more thing...keep visiting. I'll give a little random prize when the blog hits exceed 10,000. It's not that far away...

Have a great weekend and remember...always take time to...
MAKE ART!
