no time for jet lag...

hey bloggers!  well as if my calendar couldn't get any crazier, it has...  i'm flying out tomorrow for a quick teaching trip in holland for 2-days of retailer education for one of our distributors over there.  we leave early in the morning, land saturday, set up for the workshops, teach sunday and monday, and then back on a flight home tuesday morning...whew! 

so while i'm out of the studio for a while i thought i'd share some creative news from my friend jennifer mcguire.  she's teaching this amazing online workshop along with a few guest teachers - guess who's one of them?  check out the introduction for more info. the best part is that i get to give away 3 spots in it!  just post a comment on the blog between now and when i return from holland on tuesday 9/6 at 12:00PM MST. 

winners will be posted on the blog on wednesday 9/7, but don't delay signing up as registration ends on monday 9/5. (*if you're selected as a blog winner and have already signed up, your class fee will be reimbursed).  good luck...t!m
