Don't you just LOVE to learn how to do something NEW? & a GIVEAWAY
I'm doing just that this week. I'm off to Florida this week to learn how to design with Polymer Clay. It's actually a certification and I'll learn quite a bit about the product, how to create home decor items with it and how to teach others how to use it!
I hemmed and hawed about it until all the cards just fell into place and it worked out where I was able to go, hubby could be here for the dogs and boys and I found a hotel for 1/2 the rate of what I thought I was going to have to pay. Plus, I get to visit with one of my friends from England that I haven't seen in way too many years! She lives about an hour away and is going to drive up to have dinner with me on Tuesday. I am really excited to that my friend Charlie from North Carolina is going to the same certification and we'll get to catch up with each other. I haven't seen her in a couple of years and it will be fun to see each other again. Click on her name to go by and visit her blog! She is super talented.
I am looking forward to sharing what I learned when I get home with you all! I'll be away from blogland until next Sunday. Have a fabulous week and I hope you'll let me know you came by to visit.

I got some painting done this week too - finished (FINALLY I KNOW MOM) a pitcher and glasses for my moms friend in Germany. Will get it mailed soon! Hoping to get some other things done before I mail it.
I started on my Feb. paint class projects as well and am really looking forward to those projects and the projects that are swirling around in my head that I will teach in the next couple of months.

Hmmmm, I'll try again. Wouldn't let me post before. I was saying..before Blogger so rudely interrupted me....LOL....that you can tell your students love your classes by their happy smiles, and I really like Kim's seabox. And...your glass painted set is wonderful!
The glasses look great. I am sure mom is glad that you did them for her friend. Have fun on your trip and I want a picture frame like the one in the picture so make sure you really listen and take notes!hehe
Love ya,
Linda
Your mother's friend is one lucky woman! That pitcher and glass set is absolutely beautiful! If I moved to Germany, would you send me one, too? lol
Love your strawberry tray as well. I'm always so impressed with your artwork, though. (Just like the rest of Blogland is).
Hope you have a great time down in Florida. Have a safe and happy trip!

xo ~Izabella
Sandy,
I bet you'll have an amazing time! I had a go at polymer clay a couple of years ago, I can understand how people can get addicted to the stuff- it is strong, fast and you can do anything with it!
Somehow though I wasn't very happy with the heavy health warnings on the packs, so I never let the children play with it because I am always worried about skin contact contamination... Anyway, you'll have all the info you need about that..
and lucky you to get arty for a few days all by yourself!!
Take care!
I can't wait to hear about certification! I just love the strawberry tray. It is one of my favorite projects we've painted. See you at class on Monday! Hugs ~ Kim
I can't wait to hear how your clay certification went. I am SO busy working two jobs that my craftroom seems like a figment of my imagination! Hopefully after tax season I can get caught up - maybe you could fly up for a weekend and paint with me?? Hint Hint.... :0)
The tray is simply beautiful! Count me in please!I'll have my gift posted by the weekend! Nice meeting you! NG

This is a great idea! However, I just moved across country and have most of my stuff in storage. What I would like to do, is go into as many of the blogs as I can and sign in. If my name gets pulled by anyone as a winner, I will donate $100 to AIDS Foundation in memory of my brother. If my name gets selected more than once, I will up the ante an additional $10 every time it gets pulled (greedy I know, but one can dream!!!) If my name is not pulled by anyone, I will still make a $50 donation. Tis way, everyone is a winner.
this is gorgeous and would look lovely in my kitchen here in england
THANK YOU Sandy for participating again this year! I WANT that tray so please add my name!! Isn't this fun?
