Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - May 27, 2018
Hello everyone,
First - I wanted to let everyone know that there is a slight visual change to the calendar. Newly found workshops are now in a bright spring green color. Having just 2 colors was overwhelming especially with the number of workshops I have been finding. There is no difference in the red and blue. Just a way to have them show up as separately as possible. Had to figure out a way to showcase the new workshops. Feel free to submit suggestions! Let me know if you would prefer links for each workshop for the upcoming classes section.
Second - congratulations to Cheri A. for having been to the 1st to write me to request the free parking coupon to the Getty Center! My first giveaway!
Third - we had a lovely extended weekend to celebrate our anniversary which allowed me to take a couple of workshops (thank you, Gina!), catch up with friends over dinner, check out many good eats (it was all yummy!), check out Gina P's piece at the Front Porch Gallery (see May 16 update - I must still be in a Hawaiian mode as I am sure that her piece would make a fantastic haku lei that would be perfectly at home on top of a hula dancer's head) and shared our hotel with 80 exuberant & energetic girls between the ages of 8 - 12 along with their families who were there for an all-stars softball tournament. It was eerily quiet on Monday morning but my hat goes off to the parents who drove their kids all the way down from Huntington Beach, spending 2 nights (Fri & Sat), doubling up on some rooms, getting them up on time for the games, feeding & cheering them on, and driving back to HB! Yet the kids managed to look more tired than the parents. Go, parents!
So when I am not in a workshop or looking for workshops I read a number of blogs/newsletters. I have been trying to get into a workshop with Helen Hiebert but I haven't been able to get my travel/workshop timing down with the workshops being offered. So until I can work a workshop into my schedule I love reading her blog, The Sunday Paper. It is filled with all things paper, paper facts and tutorials! I also love to get her "12-months of Paper" calendar along with the paper packs as gifts and, of course, one for myself! Do a search on her name in the workshop calendar to see if she will be offering a workshop near you.
