2021 March Newsletter
Hello Ladies!
It looks like we may be dusting off our brushes soon. Praying things open up soon. It'll be very interesting when we all get together and find out what everyone has been doing for the past year. I think it has been a full year since we last painted as a group. I've tried a few virtual classes that have been a lot of fun, but there's nothing like painting together!
We have been talking to Carol Spohn about rescheduling her seminar from last year. She still wants to come and I know we all were looking forward to painting with her. As soon as we can find a place were we can get together to paint, we will let you know.
We are also still hoping to have Heidi England September 29 to October 1 to teach a "Christmas Village Firescreen." We will post a picture when we get one from Heidi. I can't wait!!!
Until we paint again, stay sane!
Helen
