I had a lovely time in Chicago, teaching at CREATE mixed media workshops. This is my 4th time teaching there, and it's so great to recognize past students and new friends.

Limo ride to the airport, heading home to San Diego

No, I don't usually (like never) take a stretch limo to the airport, it was just a fluke, and great fun! Hope to see you next year at the CREATE mixed media retreats. (I don't know the dates yet, I'll keep you posted. My known teaching schedule is here.)

Just home from a weekend in Seattle, Washington. These are my instagram photos from my walks. So green and gorgeous in the Pacific Northwest. (and yes, I know it's because it usually rains like crazy!)
