Éirinn go brách!

Green greetings, my friends!
St. Patrick's Day has dawned all bright and glorious
here in the Dallas suburbs. It is spring break and
my two younger kids are sleeping in and my house
is deliciously quiet!
I feel so glad that spring is nearly here!
As usual, winter tried to kill me, but I am almost ready
to say I have survived!
Hope your St. Patty's day is fun and perhaps you will find
a pot-o-gold at the end of the rainbow!

on dreams...

What is the worth of dreams?
How do we place a value on something so ethereal?
My dreams guide my steps in ways both bold and subtle.
They define and inspire me.
Yes, I am a dreamer.
Aren't you?

Oh, where have I been?? Lost in the world of art and everyday life.

I finally decided on and completed the prototype for my Paper Cowgirl
class. I was in a creative cramp or something!! I am so excited to be
teaching at this fabulous art retreat for the 3rd year!
We will miss our dear, sweet Tina, but she will be our cowgirl angel.

If you are interested in signing up for Paper Cowgirl, please visit here
starting tomorrow. There are so many talented teachers this year. You're
sure to find a class or two that suits you.

And here's a peek at my project... Queen of the Sea~~~~

Yes, being the Queen of France was wonderful, but what Marie Antoinette
really longed to be was King Neptune's consort. The magical realm of the sea
spoke to her soul. Now you can grant Marie's wish by creating this enchanting shadowbox where Marie reigns as the Mermaid Empress of the Deep.
This 10" x 8" assemblage is displayed under glass and is lush with glittery shells, pearls
and sea flora and fauna. Participants will learn a flower-making technique
that can be applied to other projects.
