Yes, dropped out of sight again. I have been at the tail-end of a whirl-wind few months, and just couldn't keep up the pace. <\/p>\n

A huge thanks<\/strong> to all who have come to classes over the last couple of months. I love, love, love being with "my people"–what my hubby calls my "art people." You all truly inspire me and it is a true pleasure to watch you create art. And a big thanks to all of the store owners who invited me to come and took such great care of me: Lori & Linda at Ink About It<\/a>, Patti at The Queen's Ink<\/a>, Maura at My Heart's Fancy<\/a>, Carolyn at The Crafty Scrapper<\/a>, Deanna at Clipper Street<\/a>, and Barb at Bizzy B's.<\/a><\/p>\n

I've been traveling & teaching so much that I haven't spent much personal time in my journals at all. I've missed it. I am looking forward to sitting and expressing and allowing the stresses and the joys of the last few months to spill out.<\/p>\n

One thing I have been doing is "100 Faces." I first heard about this from Carla Sonheim<\/a>, where she recommended drawing a face a day for 100 days. When I teach my face drawing class, I always mention Carla's idea to students and I encourage them to set a personal goal to do it! A couple of Facebook groups have sprouted up from it, and it's so fun to see everyone's growth and excitement. <\/p>\n

I have been playing along in Dawn Sokol's book Art Doodle Love: A Journal of Self-Discovery<\/a>\"\". Her book is a colorful journal with pre-printed backgrounds and lots of prompts to get you doodling and drawing and putting yourself down on paper. It has been so easy to throw it in my purse & just pull it out and draw in it when I have a chance. I'll share some of my faves in the next couple of days.<\/p>\n

So…what have you been up to?<\/p>\n
