What's more, in just 27 days I'll be checking-in to An Artful Journey, I'll be meeting Monica and Chrissy and Mrs Spotts for the first time, I'll be introducing myself to the amazing box of art supplies above, that I ordered through Dick Blick and shipped to Monica to transport for me. I'll be meeting Kelly Rae Roberts, and spending 3 days learning her painterly, collaging ways. In 27 days I'll be living a dream.
I love remembering how I got here. On a whim and a prayer I signed up for the retreat and was allocated a spot. If you have a moment go and read what I wrote at the time. There is so much to be said for intention, for putting it out there, for trusting.
My next wish is to work out a way to take the laptop away with me, so I can blog along my journey. Apple, you don't want to give us one of your fabulous, shiny, new 21.5 inch iMac's by chance?
Did you know that I'm collecting wishes and dreams? You can pop over to this post and deposit your wish. I'll keep it safe, and warm, and well fed for you. Oh, I love wishes and dreams. I like being the keeper of such important things.
There's even a collage up for grabs for anyone who drops a wish in the comment box before Sunday night.
Hello Keeper of Dreams and Wishes.
ReplyDeleteMy wish personally is to become a better sewer, to be able to make my dream quilts, so that i can make quilts for charity that will make peoples lives a little happier in times of stress. My Wishes is that everyone dream this year for what they want for themselves comes true.
Oh I am just so excited for you, just looking at all that box full of fabulous supplies makes my heart race a little. It will be so amazing. Can't wait to hear all about it!

As if I wasn't jealous before and now I discover you're going to a course given by Kelly Rae Roberts ... this has gone past jealous and down the seriously miffed path! You lucky #$T^$#@ duck! You really will have the best time and I can't wait to see everything you do.
ReplyDeleteHurrah!

ReplyDeleteOh, wow! No wonder you're excited :-) Enjoy your list-making! x
ReplyDeleteOn one side I want you to blog every minute of your trip but on the other hand , it might be better for you if you just "be there" for every minute possible and tell us about it later...I really am excited for you .

ReplyDeletei'm inclined to agree with Jodie and just "be in it" while you're here...of course if Apple really wants to donate a lovely laptop for us all to use, i won't say no!! ;)

BTW: love your new comment message =-)
Yep...break out that countdown calendar. It'll be amazing Cathy.

ReplyDelete25, 24, 23, 22.....! I sure hope there is a homemade countdown calendar on your fridge Cathy! I have a feeling your Artful Journey will be a journey in more ways than just art.
