I’m feeling so lucky and blessed lately.  I just found out that I won a trip to Creative Camp 2011 at the Custom Sewing Institute in Navasota, Texas !

The camp was started by Susan Kostelecky and is 3 full days of hands on classes, seminars and camaraderie.  I am excited to learn new techniques like tufting, making cornices with firmaflex, workroom efficiency and much more.  Even though I’ve been fabricating for over 20 years I think there is always something new to learn and more education is one of my goals for this year.

I wanted to say thank you to Judith at Creating Balance.  She had a give away to celebrate her 50 followers milestone and I won $25.00 to a great online store….. CSN.  Her kitchen makeover was just featured on Tatertots and Jello, so be sure to check it out.

2) I don’t have any tattoos but I think this heart made of thread spools would make a cute one.  On second thought maybe just print it out and hang it in the workroom.  lol

Tammy,

I was so excited for you when I got the email about the winners for the camp! I entered too but didn't get chosen though. You are right, even though we've been doing this for over 20 years, you can always learn something and just the fact that you are in the presence of ladies who are artisans at their craft, well, that is priceless!

I love my chocolate too!

take care, Tammi

I hope you bought a lottery ticket that week too! So many blessings for one so deserving!

I can't wait to hear your report back from CSI. I know you'll enjoy it!
