Heart Strings

HeartStrings

I am sooooooooo very excited because I just signed up for the class called Heart Strings by my precious friend Diane Cook. It will be in Central Texas this February & my friend JoAnn is going with me. I feel confident enough in my jewelry design that I feel like I could do this myself (I have taken a number of classes from Diane & she is an excellent teacher, covering so many of the basics) but, JoAnn has never done jewelry design or even expressed a desire to do so until now. When she asked if we could do this together I was pleased to say YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! HeartStringsBook Here’s the sweet little book that will be put on our necklace. I LOVE the extra touches that Diane incorporates into her work. After class… Diane is staying in Brenham with us at the B&B we have chosen & I know we will have a fabulous slumber party laughing the night away! A little peek at the room we have chosen.

victorian-sm3 I see RETAIL THERAPY at Left Over's Antiques in our plans on Sunday. Sweet Hubby again will have “bonding time” with little Elle while Momma takes a break to play with the girls!!!! GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN!!!!

Hugs! Charlene

    Oh Charlene! This Looks Like so Much Fun! You have so many Talented Artists around you that Teach! I'm Thinking I need to Move to Texas!!
    Sorry about the Link to Paper Whimsy...I Know How you feel tho.. I have spent a little money there too. I Look at it this way, I can use those Images as many times as I want and they are such High Resolution Images. They Print Up Beautifully. I recommend using a Double Sided MATTE Premium Photopaper(Staples).They come out Perfect. Right now I am only using it for the Vintage Photo Images!
    Well I Have Rambled on Long Enough!
    Have a Wonderful time at your Class!
    Hugs
    Jill

    Hi Charlene, Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Our friend LuLu is a very special person. I sometimes have a little time to read blogs before I leave for work and hers is one I stop by. I love my banner that she did for me. I like your jewelry. Take care A Missouri Friend.
