Lucky

I was lucky enough to take a class with Amy Tan and Kelly Purkey this last weekend.  I say lucky because I have bad luck when it comes to cool classes.  Its not often that there are teachers I really want to take classes with.  When there are, I'm usually booked for the day or out of town. Lets not even go down the 'who can I get to watch my kid?' route either.

So when the pieces fell into place for me to take this class, I took my chance.  It was worth every penny and the 70 mile drive down to San Diego.

The store that put on the classes is amazing.  Its a tiny store but so much fun packed into that small space.  I found Paper Tales during the Shop Hop last summer and I've been dying to go back.



 Every detail had a personal touch.









Lots of misting, water colors and techniques I've been wanting to try.  We got to play with some new prodcuts too.  And I got to personally thank Amy for making this shirt for N last year.  I swear, he wore it for months and still asks for it.  I guess I need her to make me a '5' shirt soon!
