Hello Everyone!<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n

I don’t want to keep you waiting any longer!\u00a0 \u00a0 Many of you have been so kind to ask for pictures from this weekend’s Painting with Fire workshop with Barbara Lewis<\/a>.\u00a0 Let me tell you, Saturday ranked up there with one of the best days I’ve had in recent memory!\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Just picture\u00a0the \u00a0dream day:\u00a0 learning a brand new technique you’ve been dying to try, meeting amazing people you’ve known through their blogs (and brand-new non-blogging friends too), good food, wonderful weather, and most importantly…..the perfect<\/em> instructor!\u00a0 That is what I experienced on Saturday.\u00a0 Jeanette and I feel like our first event was a huge success, and really we owe that to one first-rate lady, Barbara Lewis.\u00a0 Now I have to tell you, Barbara came as part of a dynamic duo….her husband Jim helped run the show behind the scenes, and his knowledge of enameling was amazing as well – what a wonderful man!\u00a0 *sigh*\u00a0 Can you tell I had a great day??<\/h4>\n

It was really incredible to meet some people I’ve known from their blogs…and to meet them for “real” was just awesome.\u00a0 It really made my “online” world a reality…and I think many of you can understand what I mean.\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Now what are we waiting for?!\u00a0 On to the pictures!\u00a0 And would you believe….I was the only<\/em> one with a camera!\u00a0 Let’s step back in time, and you’ll feel like you were there too!<\/h4>\n
