Sometimes words just don't cut it...

What an incredibly fantastic day!
My heart feels full and my cheeks hurt from laughing...
It feels good to share something I love with people I care about!
The open house was so much fun!
It was great to reconnect face to face with a such wonderful group of ladies!!
Thank you to all of you who came out today and to those who sent much appreciated words of support...
I am truly humbled by the love I felt today...

My only regret...
I forgot to take pictures!!! D'oh!!!
I know I know...BAD BLOGGER!!
I will do better next time!
And in the meanwhile...
I will round up some pics from the ladies that DID remember to take some pics!!

But before I go...
I will announce a couple of winners from today's event...

from our door prize draw...

WAHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Congrats girlie!!
Enjoy!!!

Now I'm off to bust into that lovely bottle of wine (Thanks Cheryl!!) put my feet up and watch the main event of tonight's supercross race!!
WAHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Life is good!! Pass it on!!

I'm a work in progress...and so is my creative space!!

WAHHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I'm sooo excited about this new adventure!
It started a few months ago with my third bout of pneumonia in less than three months...
"If you pack up all of your scrapbook stuff (*Ok ok...he didn't say "stuff" but in an effort to keep this somewhat clean*)"...I will insulate the basement..."

After some tough negotiations and a written contract with strict deadlines, my DH Steve allowed me to empty the contents of my scrapbook room into his garage while he insulated our basement...I'm sure he never would have suggested it had he know the amount of stuff I had or the amount of work that laid ahead of him!! *wink!*

Well, it is finally beginning to look like my cozy little dream space!
And what good is a dream space if you can't share it??!
And so this little seed took root and and the idea to open The Art Lounge started to grow!

Welcome to my little piece of creative Heaven!
it's a place to try out new techniques, get a little inky and share some laughs
I will be offering classes, crops and open studio time.
as a matter of fact, this Saturday I am having an Open House to share my little work in progress...
Contact me for more info if you are interested
I'll also be here sharing my progress on this creative journey...
I hope you'll join me!
It's more fun to create outside the lines!!
WAHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
