Happy Easter All

It has been another busy week and all went well!! Thank You!!
I have still not been feeling great so, we are not really celebrating Easter with the usual food, family, friends, and hoopla, but I still wish everyone a good one... Thank goodness we got together with everyone last weekend so we didn't miss out completely....I painted Friday night with nine people attending, "The whimsical Tree" and there was lots of creativity with this one... good job guys..... and now I have a few days off before I do a double sift on Thursday...
I guess I better be get things together so we can go to N.C. on Sunday...lots of chores and catching up to do first though.... anyway on with this beautiful, although hot day....

I am trying not to be sad about Jenn's going home today.... We had a wonderful visit...Thank You!! Thank You!!
I also want to say Thank You to everyone who showed up last night to paint with me for the" Palms at the Beach" We had 17 people and they all did a great job.... Thanks,to Becky, my lovely assistant ,without whom,the night would not have gone as smoothly....
We had more good news when Deb called yesterday to say she will get to continue working through the summer this year, which is not usually the case. Someone is looking out for her too. Thank you !!
Much to get done today before we take Jenn to the airport to fly away home, so for now... Have a great day all........

Sunday, Sunday

Gotta love this day... I have had a very busy week, Prepainted Wednesday, Worked Thursday night [ in the storms], Then again Friday night, Saturday morning, and Saturday night.... Wow!! Yet again I am pooped but very happy...
We had the cutest couple last night, The husband surprised his wife, brought her out of their home town of Cape Coral, to Tampa and then to our studio and she had never even heard of it before and had never painted.... It was their 2nd. anniversary, What a great guy... She loved it!!!!
I have got to cut this short because we have to get out and pick up the big limbs from the yard and get a fire going before the winds pick up...
 bye for now....
