I have had a crazy few days filled with lots of emotion. I guess the fact is that at some point,

you truly need to face the music and deal with the hurt and pain. Keeping it all closed up

can only last so long. The time has come for me to get some resolution so I can finally close

a certain chapter for good. Hopefully, healing will come and the hurt & anger will dissipate.

This quote is so true. I will not wither away!

I recently was offered a job teaching how to make and create an art journal at a local art school. I am excited for this new journey! Who knows where it will lead? I made two samples that could be shown because many people don't know what this is. Yesterday I got a call from the school's owner telling me that those who have seen the samples love them and are excited for the class! The owner said she loved my work and was blown away by the vibrant colors. I am in the process of putting it all together and outlining the scope and sequence of what I am going to teach . If enough people sign up, the class will start the first week of October. Woo hoo!!

My girlfriend bought me the book

CAKE POPS (by Angie Dudley) for my birthday. I decided to make cupcake pops for the BBQ we are going to today. Here is how they came out from start to finish! Delish, not too messy and only three fell apart.

Ready to try all the cute designs in the book and perfect my skills. Working in 3-D is challenging but fun! Best of all, you can eat the ones that don't work. :)

Have a safe Labor Day!
