I am .
I am going to an art retreat and I don't know any of the other women...yet:-)
I know I will make friends right away though.
Melody Ross is hosting the retreat and teaching the workshops.
I have always admired her creativity and beautiful heart.
I can't wait to spend a little time in Idaho (I have never been and I hear it is beautiful), create, be with like minded women and relax.
When I showed my husband the website he said I had to go....that it looked amazing.
What a guy!
My mom will be coming in to help with the children because it is during a time that Kelly can't take off work.
Thanks mom!
Brave Girl Camp in October and Silver Bella in November....pinch me!!!!
There are really no words to thank the people that I love. ..that support my deep desire to create.
*************
If anyone else is interested in going I think they have a FEW spaces left.
Jeanne, you are going to have SO MUCH FUN!!!!
: )
Julie
ps Idaho is really beautiful!

Ooohhh, you ARE brave. I've been to classes and such where I didn't know anyone and it was a bit torturous because I'm quite shy. I just keep to myself and try to 'look' friendly so someone will want to make friends with me haha.
You're lucky, too, that your husband insists you go to these things! I hope you have a great time!

That is awesome Jeanne! I have no doubt you will make tons of new friends!

Thank you for your sweet visit to my blog Jeanne. It's so nice to meet you! You are so kind. You're always welcome.
I had a quick question regarding my Etsy order for the initial. Did I need to specify that I want the letter "M" that you have shown in the photo? Just making sure.
Have a wonderful time on the retreat.
How fun!
~Warmly, ~Melissa :)
PS Congrats on being in the blog book! I'm really enjoying my lovely copy. That's how I found you.
