Be Curious!!!

Hello Crafty Peeps!!! "Be Curious" are the words written in my Compendium of Curiosities III Book, and are probably written in yours too if Tim Holtz autographed it for you!  When it comes to making Art, those words are essential. It's all trial and error sometimes, and if you are persistent, you discover a technique you will use and love forever!

It's almost time for Linda Ledbetter to start up the new series of challenges on her new blog, based on the new book! I am thrilled to announce that I was asked to be on the Curiosity Crew for the challenges along with some other fabulous Ranger girls...beyond thrilled actually! I hope you will join us every fortnight for the new challenges, starting Saturday, April 26th, and if you do, I wish you luck on being picked to win great prizes sponsored by Inspiration Emporium and The Funkie Junkie Boutique!!!

Stay curious, make Art, and I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

My Weekend & Winners!!!

Hello everyone! My apologies for posting this a few days late! I had to attend my oldest son's golf tournament, and then my youngest son has been ill, so I haven't had time to post until today. I appreciate the patience! Before I get to the winners of all the loot, I wanted to show you some photos of my weekend at The Crafty Scrapper doing Make-n-Takes! There were over 100 people who participated, and 12 designers who taught gorgeous projects! 

The wonderful thing about driving through Texas in April is seeing the millions of bluebonnets that engulf the roadways and pastures! I couldn't help but take photos! It's such a gorgeous sight!

 

Everyone was busy setting up their spaces for the Make-n-Take, and I was given a space big enough for seven people at a time.

We were all asked to bring a few projects that we had made to display by our booth.

Sadly, I forgot my phone on the day of the event, so I have no other pictures but these. I was able to teach 70 of the 100 people that attended in the six hour time slot. I am sorry to those of you who were not able to make the Notes and Collections Clipboard. There was quite a line each time it was time to move on, but aside from my fastest group that made the project in 15 minutes, most of the groups were longer. Next time I'll know to keep it much simpler, but I hope everyone enjoyed the day! 

AND NOW, look at all this loot I scored while in New England and at the Collins Show...enough for three big winners!!!

The first winner to win this stack of loot is...

Number 29, Lizaveta Tsar'kova-Golofas, from the Ukraine.

Lizaveta said...О, Анита! Какая великолепная поездка! Какие шикарные впечатления! Я вот сижу, смотрю и сама вдохновляюсь!
