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.
