Art Weekend was a huge blast! I was only there for the Saturday festivities because I was in Annaheim on Thursday & Friday. I really wish I had been able to attend the art weekend craft night & social. I have a hard time missing social outings like that. The calligraphy class went off without a hitch. It was so much fun to see how much each student improved over the course of 2 hours! It was remarkable and oh so fun. I had a couple lefties in my class; it was very impressive how quickly they grasped the art of the pointed pen. We all had such a great time, I hope to teach calligraphy again soon! Jill rocked this class (check out her artwork, way cool). Her spacing, pen control & flourishes were fabulous! Don't you agree? I had the great opportunity to take a class from Brittany from One Charming Party. She shared with us tips & tricks to getting that picture-perfect party. She even brought a little craft for us to do: Birthday banners! I made mine in orange, green & blue - which happens to match our orange kitchen chairs just perfectly! Brittany told us she just grabbed what red, white & blue stuff she had at her house & threw together the above table arrangement at the very last minute. I hope to get to the point where I can arrange beautiful spreads at the snap of a finger. It does help that she has somewhere like 30 cake plates (she told us so!) and decorates parties for a living. I had a FABULOUS time at Art Weekend this year. I can't wait until AW2011!
