Having fun creating with friends

2009-06-07T22:35:00.000-07:00

Well, As you know I do not write in here too often, but I did feel it was time that I added to this blog, after all it is in every Email that goes out from me. I have a friend, Jean that I have enjoyed doing artsy things with. I have taken a few crash courses in Enameling from her. She is definately the one "in the know" about this topic. She makes some absolutely beautiful things. She is also such a inspiration to me with my art. She gives me so much encouragement. Today we went to A Flea Market near by and had a blast. We both got some really cool stuff. I happened across a great sale on old brass handles and things that I can use to embellish my Copper Journals. I think Jean got more excited about rutting through the boxes of brass than I did. Boy can that lady rut, she is also quite the deal maker. We also hit an Antique shop, but not much happening there. The entire weekend was good. The weather was nice and sunny. I even got a little red today while I was out.
Yesterday, (Saturday) my brother and I worked on my Water Garden. I got a new pump and filter for it and I got that all hooked up now. I also took my son Seth out driving because he is going for his License on Tuesday. He is so excited. He also just got hired at our local McDonalds. He said to me the other day, "Mom this is gonna be the best summer of my life. I have a job, I will be able to drive, and I have a girlfriend." Ah, to be 17 again. Wouldn't it be great?
My hubby is a promoter for a Professional Wrestling Group that he has and he has been so busy getting ready for a few shows that he has coming up this summer. One of which will be June 20th at the Chambersburg Recreation Center, call (717)701-9710 for more info, ask for Johnny Graham, PWE.name http://www.pwe.name (shameless plug)
Tonight was the season premiere of Army Wives, I love that show, so glad it is back on. I watched that and then I worked on a few journals. I have a Showcase coming up on Wednesday on Etsy and I would like to add a few more journals to the store before then. Business has been good and the journals are starting to roll out the door. I sold 3 last week. Well, It is really late and this girl is tired from all of the walking at the flea market. Thanks for stopping in to read . Have a great week!!!

I still am not really used to this whole Blog thing. It has been awhile since I first started and posted this so I guess that it is about time for me to write some more. I have been working extremely hard at trying to get my Etsy Store up and running. I think that I am finally on my way. Please if you get the chance to check it out.....do. I still am getting ready for Art & Soul. It is only 2 weeks away. I have all of my equipment finally. I found this really great place on Etsy to buy soldering supplies. I will post the URL in my links section. This girl is great plus she helped me out so much with questions that I had. I never got an order so fast before and her prices are so reasonable, anyway Kudos to Robin.
I am going to be having dinner this week with a group of ladies that I have met up with from my area who are going to the Art & Soul Retreat. I am really looking forward to it.
Well, I am going to close for now. I will try not to be so long between entries next time. Thanks for reading....Erin

What to write about?????

2009-03-11T23:05:00.000-07:00

Since this is my first Blog, I am really not sure what to write about. I guess just about whatever pops into my head. I am really excited about going to the Art & Soul retreat the first weekend in May in Hampton, Va. I am signed up to take Sally Jean Alexander's class on "Soldering for Virgins" on Friday May 2nd and Thomas Ashman's class on Saturday May 3rd on "Mini Copper Journal". I have been wanting to get experienced working with metal and this will be my chance. I have been working on SWAPs to trade while I am there. I am making really cool tags to trade. I should have about 60 - 70 by the time I am finished. I also am participating in the mini Fat Book. I need to turn in 45 pages by this time next month There are 42 ladies participating in this and all 42 pages will be bound together from each artist and then we will have a Fat Book of all of our works. I am also signed up to participate in a journal SWAP. This is just exchanging emphemera and goodies with others who enjoy making journals. I will write more from time to time about how this whole event is going down. This will be a first for me. I am not one to just venture off by myself like this, but hubby sure would be bored tagging along, besides I deserve this mini vacation and I am going to get to meet some really great people who enjoy the same interest that I have with art. Well, I have spent some time on this tonight, so I have to be going for now. I hope to add more soon. Thanks for reading....Erin
