blog hop continues!

I've been a very busy girl, so haven't been blogging too much lately. I'm getting prepared for a country cross drive from New Jersey to California in Mid April. I'll be teaching at Artistic Affaire and I have much to get done; so really working hard.

I will show you some photos of a painting I worked on while staying a few days with my friend, Jane this past weekend. (it's fun to see how it evolves!) We've been working on a project that we will be teaching as an online class next year, so I drove to her house to finally complete it. We finished ahead of schedule, so we broke out the paints! still need to work on her face.............

Today's post will take you to another one of our fabulous instructors who is teaching a class this summer on Artful Gathering. Stop by Iva's blog to see her class and pick up your next word (scroll to the bottom for links).

Each week I will announce the next featured blog for you to visit, and there you will find a new secret word or words that you will need to collect along your way from blog to blog. Once you have collected all the words from each blog you visit, they will work out to say a very artsy phrase. Here are the rules:

1. For your chance to win, you must collect all the secret code words and submit them upon the final destination blog in May. A random drawing will be conducted from those contestants who have submitted the complete collection of secret words!


2. Three winners will be randomly drawn. One for the $200.00 e-card to Jerry's, and two runner's up for the 25.00 e-card to Jerrys.
   
   

Week by week we'll go from one blog to the next!

Remember to collect all the secret words. These words will work out to say a very artful phrase, and you'll need all the pieces to be eligible for the final prize drawings!
