June and Bliss!







Oh what a blissful weekend- on so many fronts!
Friday was my last day of classes- buh-bye guys
see you next year!
It was also sign-up time for ARTBLISS- an East Coast
Art Retreat that will be happening this fall in
the Wash. DC area. And yes, I am one of the goonies
who stayed up until midnight in order to be one of the
first to sign up! As a result,I am enrolled for the
Melissa Manley Hard Candy class- yum- I SO want
to learn how to enamel and make my own beads.
And then... wait for it....wait for it... a class with
Deryn Mentock- double woo double hoo!
Icing on the cake is my hubbie accompanying me
to DC- so we get to play in the evenings!
I've also been busy making end-of-school-year
thank you gifts. This year, I decided to keep it
simple and make sets of Thank You Cards
boxed in clear plastic boxes. I had so much
fun playing with the mannequin. I've used her
a gazillion times before in cards but I never
tire of what you can do with her. This time around,
I made some patterned paper and dressed her
up with some rick-rack, brads and ribbon.
