December .....

Hello everyone .... I have been on the run since Thanksgiving .... painting and crafting and enjoying the spirit of the Holidays. Last week I spent every evening with a room full of crafters for ornament classes. We laughed and created some very cute ornaments.

My demonstrations may end up in my esty shop.

Hopefully posting on the blog and reading others will work it's way back into my routine.

Take care everyone,
teri

Great Day ....

It was a great day with all my students!

I love to share by teaching.

On the Road ....

I am headed out of the studio for most of the day today to teach a beginning watercolor class at the local Art Association.

I enjoy introducing people to the wonders of watercolor ... usually people like it because it is fresh and splashy and then will not allow themselves to splash and splatter ... my goal is to get them to loosen up.

I will post photos later.

I am waving my magic wand and granting you all the wish to do whatever creative thing you wish you could do ... easily ... HAVE FUN!!!!!
