i so enjoyed

I took your digital collage class and can't thank you enough for it! From knowing absolutely nothing about photoshop elements, I was able to start creating digital collages almost immediately thanks to your clear instructions and screen shots on the video.
Just seemed that you were right there across the table from me!
Enjoyed the videos very much and you did a wonderful job teaching.
Thanks again,
Lucille Cherwinski

I so enjoyed the workshops I took last year - the videos were invaluable. Without them the classes would have to have more information (detail) - at least for me. Thanks again Gail, staff and instructors. Haroldine Howell

Living in the U.K. I always looked enviously in Somerset Studio at the art courses and retreats, knowing that I would never be able to afford traveling to the States and doing one of these so it is lovely to be able to do them online. I like the way you can see the photos for all the courses because that's inspiration to do another one!
I've been very grateful for the prompt help when I haven't been able to reach the videos or pdfs. And the courses themselves are really good
So thanks

Hello Cathy!Thank You so much for your great workshop-Journaling from the Inside Out-Lots of  great tips and prompts!I posted a few pictures today-Thanks again,D'marie

I've really enjoyed Cathy's workshop. Her quick and easy techniques were a great jumping off point for creating beautiful journaling pages I'm proud to share with others. The subject matter was personal and has given me incentive to add a few more pages to the project on things I would like to explore about myself. I've always been a journaler, however, this visual journal begs to be reviewed time and again and will help me to keep my goals in sight. Thanks Cathy for your wonderful workshop

Pirate Accessories

For the kids, I found pirate hat/patch/sword sets at Dollar Tree at Halloween last year. Yes, I bought 25 of them 9 months before Elias’s birthday. I knew I wouldn’t find a better deal in July! Thank goodness he didn’t change his mind! We had an old pallet that I wrapped rope around. I then hung the hats up with clothespins. I was in love with it.

I looked at hundreds of pirate invitations before finally selecting this cute invitation from Minted. (Bonus, with this link you will get $25 off your order of $50 or more!). I changed the wording from what was on the site, and their amazing designers formatted it to look perfect. The quality of Minted cards surpasses any other company I have bought from online, without question. - See more at: http://www.themomcreative.com/2013/09/a-5-year-olds-magical-pirate-birthday-party.html#sthash.cY78GQFW.dpuf

For the moment, I am going to post this list, started last week and sitting here waiting to be pushed out, of things of recent note in my Facebook updates (and in open windows on my computer):

• Doodles? Tangles? A Zentangle follower? Check out this open call — and submit your tiles! Note the Feb 15 deadline. Do it! (As my oldest would say… “Come on peoples!”) @CreateMixedMedia
• Someone else recommended Wonder  by R.J. Palacio to me recently (or asked if we had read it). Seeing a Chapel Chronicles mini-review reminded me that I want to take a look at this one!
• Check out Tammy Garcia’s journal prompt cards in her Etsy shop. Need a nudge? Or know someone who does?
• Awesome library photos… some libraries I would love to see and sit and read or write in. My library is way less than cool aesthetically. This is an eye-opening reminder to the beauty of books and space.
• A new book and a list of books to check from Claire Vanderpools. (What I said when I saw it: “When I first read her list of recommendations, they felt ‘too’ classic. But looking closer… I think this is an interesting list (w a few token exceptions). Do you have favorites that appear here or ones you would like to read or have your middle readers read?”)
