THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH:
"You can do anything you set your mind to! Sure, luck and connections don't hurt. But the real magic formula to getting what you want most in life is simple: a dream plus determination--and you've got both! So brush off your doubts and let positive thinking take you where you're headed: to certain success."

Hi Painters!
Glenda we want you to know that Terry did a great job with your Zentangle class. We all enjoyed it very much and we all have a beautiful hummingbird to enjoy. We'll miss you (but everytime I see my hummingbird I"ll think about you.) We all hope you'll get to come back and see us once in a while.
Also, if you haven't signed up for the fall seminar be sure and check out the blog and see what we are painting. There's a beautiful squirrel, some whimsical owls and a chic chickadee. Check the blog for more details.
Hope everyone is enjoying our wonderful summer as well as all the great fresh veggies. I know I am. Only wish the season was longer.
EVERYONE COME JOIN US, bring your unfinished pieces and Tirzah will help you to finish them. We meet at the Riverdale Senior Center on Wednesday's from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. They also serve a great lunch for $2.50
Hope we see you soon and may God bless.
