FANTASTIC WORKSHOP!

EVERY LIFE HAS A STORY
Art Journal Conversion Workshop
Roben-Marie Smith
 
I wouldn't be doing Roben-Marie justice if I didn't post in one of her favorite colors! (or as close as I can get on blogger) lol Yea, not too close.  It is this gorgeous peachy, smoochy color.
 
I just finished this workshop and it was absolutely amazing.  The first day I worked from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. with little break.
 
Her videos are mesmerizing! (spellcheck please)
 
Without further adieu - I will post a page of my Workshop Journal that I took with Roben-Marie, online, each day.
 
Today, I will post the FRONT PAGE of the Journal of Inspiration.
I hope you enjoy it! Roben-Marie does not waste one single scratch of paper that you will splat on, mist on, spill on, wipe off ink with or on...she is a wonderful ambassador of the earth in my mind.
 
 
I am on to another Journal by Roben-Marie...and she is the sweetest workshop teacher ever!  Check out her blog - http://www.robenmarie.com/

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY WEDDING, HAPPY SIMPLICITY AT SENTIMENTAL SUNDAYS!

WOW WHAT A WEEK THIS IS!

First, my daughter Ayla's birthday was 2 days ago on August 10th.  She is the Diva of Birthday Parties and now 24, so it was a BLAST, I heard. haha.  My son, Taylor - 14 - is getting her "Marshmellow Vodka"!  Have you ever heard of such a thing?  Oy!

My birthday is in 2 days August 14th - 56 years old!  Enough information here. lol

My oldest son, Jordan - his wedding is 4 sleeps away, this Friday, to Laura - on August 17th.

And, over at SENTIMENTAL SUNDAYS, it is SIMPLICITY week!  You must check it out.  My card, old news now - is Happy Graduation to Jordan - for his MA in Pop Culture Music this last May.  He's landed this awesome training specialist job with APPLE! 

And the little one and I...we just take it ALL in!!!

Enjoy YOUR week...


 My Boy (and the test unit oldest Jordan) and his bride to be!
I always called him "my rabbi" but I think he's not a fan, given every Jewish mom
wants their kid to be a Rabbi and this one is a Music Maker who this mom is SOOOO proud of!
His gal "signs" Internationally for "the deaf AND the blind!" 
Our Laura is a winner!


 Jordan is a really proficient snowboarder.  He is certified to teach skiing and snowboarding.
He tried to teach this skier but I kept falling on my ass a bazillion times!  ouchies...



I just love this!



 My Goddess and world traveller and her lifetime friend Yudit.









 My Taylor on the right "before" he was 6'3"
Last year's school photo with great friend Travis


 Taylor being lapped up by Our Laura's dogs!!!



Honestly, this kid would KILL me if he knew I put this up! 
Mommy did the make-up!
Blame me! lol
