Hello Everyone, I getting all geared up for my trip next month to California for the Art & Soul Retreat my sister and I  will be attending.  I’m so very excited!  I’ll be taking a 2 day class on making Nature Journals and a one day class to learn how to color black and white photos.

If you want to check out the retreat, here is the link:

Check it out and attend.  I would love to meet you all!

It’s so funny, I need to take some stamps for the nature journal class.  How on earth am I going to decide which ones to take and what inks!  You know the brayer will be shoved in the bag for sure.  I’m planning on taking one suit case just for art supplies, so what if I’m wearing the same outfits over and over again, lol.

Has anyone else prepared for something like this?  Do you have any suggestions?  Check out the link and look at all the things I have to haul from Ohio to California.  There is a supply list for each class, yikes!

I’ll share my projects with you all when I return from the trip, whether they are good or bad, lol.  You all are my friends now,  I can show you the yucky stuff too right? 

Anyway, I am extremely excited to be able to attend this retreat!   Packing suggestions are so very welcome.

One more thing, I already have another tutorial done.  I will be posting it tomorrow.  I haven’t made a card without doing a tutorial on it in over a month.  There has been such an over whelming response to this blog.  I had over 17,000 hits in a month and one day.  Woohooo!  Thanks everyone for your kind words and support this last month.
