Today I just want to say once again THANK YOU to everyone who has made The Studio a success. When I first asked a handful of women to meet with me so I could bounce some ideas off of them about what I had in mind I never envisioned that it would be all of this. I just thought a teaching studio would be a great idea.
What I didn’t realize, and I don’t think anyone did, is that it has turned into a gathering place for friends. So many new friendships have come from people meeting at various classes…or by getting to know different instructors. We have created together, traveled together, learned together…and so much more!
So, thank you again for making my vision so much bigger than any of us could have imagined!
We had an amazing birthday party for The Studio yesterday….2 years! We started this last year as we felt that it was a good opportunity to thank all the people who supported us throughout the year. We offered several projects for people to make and take with them.

I didn’t realize that it would take me so long to be able to get around on my own as it has. I guess I thought I would bounce right back like I did after the meniscus surgery but that was not the case. Plus I have needed to keep the ice therapy machine on my knee to keep the swelling down and that has required refilling every few hours, 24 hours a day. Sandy has done all of that with a smile and a sense of humor. She has been simply wonderful. I can’t even begin to thank her for all that she has done for me and the boys.
WOW! Every year the Northern Virginia Daily has a poll where the community 
We had a marvelous group of painters at the Mother-Child Paint Party yesterday at the Community Center. A beautiful way to celebrate with art and mom!
