Gosh, I hardly know what to post. My head is swimming with all the things I've got to get done. I have a busy year ahead! I'd like to show you a few Christmas photos and some of a pre-Thanksgiving trip that I took to Florida but it will just have to wait until I can get my act together.
First, let me thank you all for the very kind and encouraging comments on my previous post. I started out answering each one, as I usually do with all comments to my blog, but I just didn't have the heart to continue. I hope you all will understand. Please know that your words went a long way toward healing, for me and I appreciate the outpouring of love and concern...more than you know.
So...what's coming up? I'm thrilled to announce three brand new classes that I'll be teaching at Art Unraveled this year! This is AU's tenth year...can you believe it? So, it's going to be an extravaganza of amazing classes and fun events. I can hardly wait!
The photos you're seeing here are of my new "Bloom" bangles class, and also my "Resin Paper Wire Forms" class. These bangles were inspired by my online BoHo Bliss class, from this last summer and are SO much fun to make.
It was all I could do not to show you the photos of them before this but I wanted it to be a sweet little surprise.
The other class that I'm so excited to be teaching at AU is my Alchemy of Objects class. For those of you who have always wanted to pick my jewelry-making brain, this one's for you.
We're going to be covering lots of technique in this class with an emphasis on working with found objects...right up my alley...and probably yours. Hey...I hope you can join me in Phoenix. AU is one of those not-to-be-missed events!

I LOVE your bloom bangle! It is just so cool. Could it be an on line class? I am also doing the Bead Soup Blog hop! This is only my second one, but they are so much fun. I don't know how Lori keeps us all on track...but she does. I will be looking forward to seeing your pieces. You inspire me.

Oh my! I certainly hope this Alchemy class will be offered online! It will be on the "To-Do" list.

The bloom bangle -- I hope I can take a class with you sometime and learn that!

Those flowers are wonderful!
I wish I could do something like that one day or another!

Sending some more hugs...
