Can you believe it's August already? 
Where did July go? 

Well I know. And even though I declared July my month off from art business and shows, it wasn't quite. But I did have a wonderful July full of classes, Art Camp, vacation and more.


The garden parties were a big hit.

We had wonderful weather for both of them. Everyone enjoyed painting together outside in the shade.










There is still room available in the August 31st party. 
 
 
 
Rockford City Market on the 8th went well.
 




















  I am always amazed from the benefits I get just by getting out in the community. I meet the most amazing people as well as get to catch up with some friends I haven't seen in awhile.




















My next night at City Market is August 19th.
Come on down and visit.





Art Camp started July 16th. 
It was a blast!




   Thanks Terri for joining us and making some pretty terrific meals. It wouldn't have been the same without you.









 Anne taught us some basket weaving techniques, Pam had us making friendship bracelets with some of the beads she's made.

We pounded the letters OFC on metal chips.
"Old Friends in ART Club" 
Cristi tried the Cherry Pie shot that we all shared. She said that hat would get us free drinks and I guess she was right. 


We still found time to do some alcohol inks.

Add some swimming, a few nights of game playing, some shopping and lots of food ... oh and a few drinks. We had a great time. 

Can't wait until next year! 




Then, I came home for a few days to shop with my daughters and some friends for Beth's wedding dress!







 She found a terrific dress that looks stunning on her.






Then it was beck Up North for the family vacation. 
I would add pics of that too but my program seems to be a bit overloaded. 

My cup runnith over. 

This week: Start a 4 part class at Womanspace. Then on to the Evanston Lakeshore Arts Festival this Saturday and Sunday.
