Dreams really do come true . . .

Ever since I returned from the Mary Engelbreit Workshop, I had dreamed about my next "EVENT". What would it be??? I then was introduced to a lovely woman named Jo when I was a vendor at Farm Chicks in Spokane this past June. That's right, Jo Packham of "Where Women Create". She is the editor of this amazing quarterly magazine (well it's really a book). I had been an admirer for a very long time. In fact, I still have the original "Where Women Create" book nestled in with my other treasures in my Studio.

So as the Summer wound down, I knew that there was going to be a workshop in Minneapolis, MN that was being put on by Jo Packham and Nancy Soriano (of Country Living fame). I needed, wanted, dreamed, hoped to go, but the economy has taken a pinch out of my sales on ETSY. I was not going to MN. But then, a turn of events. My sweet, amazing and so supportive husband came up with the $$ I needed to make it happen, stating, "you should go - I just feel good that it's the right time in your business for you to meet and mingle with people like you". Holy Cow, HONEY! So I quickly made reservations, and voila . . . Minneapolis, here I come. I can't wait to play reporter and get back to you with all of the details.

The amazing artist above is Leigh Standley of Curly Girl Designs. I actually met her, took a class with her at the ME Workshop. She is talented beyond belief. I can't wait to see her again!
