SBA mini mascott ivy - could she be any cuter??
my class...working away! not only do i get to meet cool women in my classes, but i am constantly blown away by their creativity! i love to let everyone loose to do their own thing, and the results are AMAZING!
ok - check out my SIGN! how cool is that? i was so happy to walk into my classroom and see it! mick thinks we should hang it in the living room...
that is me and my sweet friend meg who came to hang out in one of my classes! (her project is on her blog and it rocks)...and here below is the one and only margie...she painted because she loves me more than satan. she is one of the funniest coolest chicks i have ever had the pleasure of hanging out with!
i also got to hang out lots this weekend with my crazy pink-haired pocket sized ana, who actually only loves me to get to my hairy-chested husband...she calls me in the hope that he will answer and she can listen to the aussie goodness...
no shame. nope. none.
ok - are you sick of my sign yet?? cos i'm not! ha! there were so many beautiful souls that i met at the retreat - i love meeting and connecting with people! i feel so lucky to be able to do this. i think back to when we moved here and i barely knew 5 people in this country...and now all the amazing people who have come into my life! thankyou to all the women (and one boy!) who were in my classes - i truly loved getting to know you and sharing the creative vibe! here i am with 'mou' (how cool is her name?), who i adored...orange is her colour and she made such a cool 'altered state' folder. like i said before - eveyone's turned out completely different and it was such a treat to see them all! i wish i had gotten group pictures with their artwork...someone remind me next time ok?
and last but not least...
i had no idea that i would love filming a tv segment so much! hello, somebody give me my own show!! i did not like seeing myself in difficult core camera makeup however...scary!! very, very scary! but a lot of fun - i can't wait to see how it turned out...apparently it will be on towards the end of the year so i will keep you posted!



















Wish I coulda been there this weekend! Looks like a creative fest! You look SO demure for your tv appearance my dear!..Just lovely!...

Hi Emily! My mom and I really enjoyed meeting you and taking your classes! Would love to meet you again someday! From "the one boy" AKA Cody :)

Hi Emily! I wanted to tell you I totally enjoyed your class at the Scrapbook Answers Weekend. I did a day pass on Saturday and felt totally lost (especially since I felt like I walked miles to find the building!!!). You made me feel so welcome in your class. You were awesome....and so was the project! I took it to work today and all the ladies oohed and aahed....Thank you so much. ~Wendy
