We had such a Wonderful weekend with Tim Holtz! Very fun, funny and so full of information! As I heard someone say..... I have not been using these products even 1/10th of their potential!

Lots of laughter, smiling faces, & all inspired!

Thanks Tim! I know you hear that a lot!

Lynne Perrella's Workshop @ The Artists' Nook

We had Lynne Perrella here teaching August 4-7th! Plus Lynne's Artwork is being Featured for the Month of August so we kicked off her exhibit with an Art Opening & Talk on Friday August 4th!

Lynne' workshop was full each day and all created such wonderful pieces! Rave reviews about Lynne as an artist & instructor from the students in the workshop!

I started taking pictures as the weekend went on. It takes me awhile to remember this! So here are some pictures.

Family Vacation- Lake Tahoe

July we took our Family Vacation to Lake Tahoe. We rented a house which our California Relatives could come up and visit thru out the week. We did the 15 hour drive straight thru with our 4 boys stacked in the back seat. I think they are getting to big for that!
The week went well with the exception of our boat. We towed it those many miles only to have it on the lake for 15 minutes when the engine threw a rod and busted several holes thru the engine block!

The name of the boat is Plan B but I think our canoe should be Plan B as the boat does not hold up it's end of the deal! This is the second time it has stranded us on a lake! After Lake Tahoe, Ian traveled to his Dad's Cabin in Sand Point Idaho where the will stay!

Saturday was hopping at The Artists' Nook! Tim Holtz's workshop registration started on Saturday and many showed up to make sure they got registered!

Mother's Day Gift

My 9 year old Jeremy gave me this picture for Mother's Day.
He writes on the back: "This picture is from your favorite boy. Jeremy"

How cute is that? You see I have 4 boys and he has claimed the favorite one.

Here is the letter he wrote to go with the picture:
"Thank you for tucking me in. I made this picture for you. I also made the picture because I am a pretty good artist myself and because you are an artist. Sincerely Jeremy"

Children are true treasures.
