Running, Running

I can hardly believe that school had already been out for two weeks, I feel like I have been running the whole time.



Mom and I went on our yearly CA shopping trip with Kelly from Monday until late night Wednesday. We had lots of fun shopping and goofing around and I even experienced my first earthquake!

I had to be to work by 7:00 on Thursday but am now officially done with summer work until late July. (Of course that doesn't mean I won't be spending time reading professional books, planning for next year, and working on documents for the district office. A little secret is that teachers actually work a lot of the summer, just not with kids. LOL!)


Today I had a fun art date with Ayesha, Jessica, and Barb. We were arting with our sewing machines and I proved to myself that I am my mother's daughter and played the role of sewing machine whisperer with Ayesha's machine. :)

I think at one time or another all of our machines gave us grief even mine!


This evening I went to Val's jewelry party and tomorrow I have Jack's Second Annual Weennie Roast (a.k.a. birthday party). Things have been busy and fun here. I hope to get a chance to clean up around my studio tomorrow. I have bags of art supplies sitting about from classes, trips, and art adventures. Creating clean surfaces actually sounds fun!

Hey Jeanne! I love this pic of you and your Mom and we were lucky enough to hear about the trip you were taking when I took her class on the 12th. WHat a great vacation-Mom, Friend and SHOPPING! Just wanted to tell you how cool your spread is in the Somerset Gallery. Very professional and the journal is great! Have a great summer.

I was reading the new Somerset Gallery and I cam across your article. First I thought "that looks like a Kelly technique" - then I realized that we had met a couple of years ago. We also spent the day shopping with Kelly (and your mom). Hope all is well!
