I honestly can't believe all that preparation for two huge events is over and I'm already in to planning more LoL!!!! I must be crazy right?!!.... no I just love what I do and to be honest the process of getting ready for something big has some excitement!!

Prima Art Venture was a success with approximately 160 crafters 6 classes from amazing educators like Nathalie Kalbach ( that's with an H... don't forget the H LoL!!!!!) , Ania Dabrowska ( Finn), Jamie Dougherty, Steff Miller and frank Garcia.  The crafters were from all over the world which made it so amazing and interesting in every class! This is what we created in my class
