last year, i went on one of the most fun and beautiful teaching trips...to the amalfi coast in italy (sigh!). check out the view the view from my classroom...
it was quite hard to concentrate ;)
and i am lucky enough to be returning at the end of march for the 2009 event...put on by these two fabulous women, who have so much happiness and passion for what they do, it truly made the weekend what it was...
now for the exciting part...they are kindly letting me give away a spot to the PACS'09 here on ye olde blog! what that means is you will make your own way to italy from your part of the globe, then come to all 3 days of classes/crops/parties for free - choosing whichever classes you wish! and there are some fab fab teachers including miss elsie flannigan herself, and our favourite 'chin-earring' (ivy still talks about it) arty-gal celine navarro! i'm hoping i get to crash both their classes!
*just to be clear - the giveaway does not include flights/accommodation, it is for the 3 days of CLASSES ONLY :)
so if interested, you have until next wednesday to leave a comment and be in the draw! (check out travelzoo.com for cheap deals to europe from the us)
i can't wait to be back in italy eating pizza and gelato! and mick is pretty happy about the tough life he will be facing with the girls while i am in my workshops...
have a happy weekend!

what a fab giveaway....trying to think of something cool to say so that I stand out and you/ivy/yindi/mick (see i do read and i know you don't always do the picking !!) but I can't think of a thing. Just that I would LOVE to go and would be super-smashing to win. I love Italy and I want to see that view from the window whilst being artistic ;o)

May my sister and split the classes between us, please? We are sisters by chance, best friends by choice and - of course - cropping buddies. She lived in Italy a few (ahem!) years ago and longs to return. My contribution? A stack of American Airlines points that need to be used up - yay! Plus, this would be SUCH a great way to ignore the MINUS 38 temperatures in our part of the world . . . my fingers will remain crossed . . . THANK YOU for such a lovely contest!!
