Missed Getting In A Class?

We need your help! Remember to register for classes at least one week before the first class. The instructor needs time to prepare for you and make sure you have your prep instructions. And if the instructor doesn't know that you plan to attend, the class could even be canceled or she might not have a seat for you. Sometimes you just don't know in advance, but if possible please help us out by planning ahead.

Do you know about the class interest sheets on the wall? If you are interested in an upcoming class, please add your name to the interest sheet. It helps the teacher plan for class.

We love to share our painting knowledge with you and want to have great classes for you to enjoy.

New Wood Order Just In!

We have just received a new shipment of wood painting surfaces from Leon at In The Barn Wood Design. And you know what an excellent job he does with woodworking. Come shop!

Here is a peak at some of the new designs.



And the Ronnie Bringle seminar wood surface for the Santa is at the studio. Be sure to let Liz know if you wanted one.

Designing with Shabby Cottage Studio Papers

What beautifully designed sketch books the students created using the papers from my friend Gail Schnidt at Shabby Cottage Studio! And we sure did have fun.

Ginger Edwards Was Here!



We had a fun time with Ginger again this year. Our Girl's Night Out was a big success and we've picked up some new hobbies, needle felting and painting on dominoes. There'll soon be a shortage of dominoes locally! And we loved the ease of the needle felted roses.

We learned lots in our seminar as Ginger stretched us to grasp new techniques. Wait till you see our beautiful paintings. But it wasn't all work. We had lots of fun too.

And we're making plans for next year.
