Summertime Fun!

How is your summer going?  What have you done so far this summer?  What does the rest of your summer hold?  Teaching classes and taking classes are my top activities for the next few months. 

In August, I am taking several classes at the Create Mixed Media Retreat sponsored by Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine in Lisle, IL.   This is the fifth year of the retreat and I've gone to all of them.  My best friend Sue and I do not miss this retreat.  In fact as soon as it finishes we are already looking forward to next year.  Check it out!  There are still classes available.  

In July and August, I am teaching over a dozen classes throughout the Chicagoland area (see schedule here). On August 1-3, the Midwest Fiber & Folk Art Festival will take place at the Lake County Fairgrounds, where I will teach the afternoon of August 1st.    

It is going to be a fantastic rest of the summer! Leave me a comment and let me know what fun your summer holds.
