Presidents Message
Hi all,
Happy early spring everyone! Of course, the temperature is supposed to drop drastically (writing this Tues Mar 31). I hope everyone's plants survive and the weather change brings rain to the valley.
I am excited for the upcoming projects and seminar.
April 25 - Rogaland flower plate (don't have the pattern with me so spelling may not be correct) with Nola - It is a very pretty JoSonja pattern.
May 16 - zentangle apron with Brenda - very cute, bright fun project - aprons are available at Hobby Lobby - pattern inspired by a Janice Miller design.
June 25-27 - retreat at JoLynn's cabin - Spring Summer themed. Adorable cement bunnies and sign-up sheet for those at the studio. Hopefully all else on display for the April meeting. Lisa has some fun ideas planned. Hope you can all make it.
August 15 - Opening Social which will include yard sale and bake sale at Kay's. Proceeds will be split with a local charity and the chapter. If you have items you would like to donate to the cause they will be greatly appreciated. They do NOT have to be crafting items. We are currently thinking yard/bake sale in the morning and the luncheon after. More details will follow as we refine the plan.
October 8 - 10 - Sherry Nelson Seminar. I am very excited to have Sherry Nelson coming to us. Oil painting. $110 a day to paint beautiful birds. The projects progress in difficulty each day. I was told if you start with project you will be able to paint them all even if you have not painted in oils before. We will require a $100 deposit by. If the sign-ups will not cover costs on the seminar will be canceled. Projects are on the blog.
If you have questions or concerns feel free to call me or e-mail.
I have to get back to work.
Happy painting!
Hope you can all make the April meeting.
Thanks,
Betty

Shara Reiner
Thanks so all who came out to paint with Shara. We had a wonderful time! It was three days of relaxed, fun painting and creativity. Can I just say, we really out do ourselves when it comes to food that is provided for the seminars we host. Great job ladies and a huge shout out to those who brought all of the good eats.
It was such a delight to meet and visit with Shara. She is spunky and full of life and reflects all things bright and beautiful. To look at her art work is to know Shara.
Check out the bracelet -black and white

One interesting thing about her was to see and hear the story behind the whimsical bracelets she wore each day.
Jan's pre-class preparation
We had a new over achiever/turbo painter during this seminar and it wasn't Judy. Jan came to class with ALL of the base painting done. Whaaaaat? No kidding, her piece was half way finished before the rest of us even got started. Great job Jan. Yes, she went home with a completed piece.
Jan, waiting on the rest of us.
You gotta love the sisters sharing the love of painting
Loretta and Jolene
Betty and Pat
Everyone listened to Shara and remained focused on the task at hand. All three days of painting were well spent.

May Project
