There are times that life hands you events that make you really happy...or things to really look forward to...unexpected happenings. So what am I talking about?

Over the past 2 days I've been on my blog roll and to my amazement I find that I have been highlighted by other blogs...it makes my heart sing. It is no secret that I love to use stencils in creating my artwork. Here are the links...I would love it if you would go over and check them out ;)
The Crafters Workshop and Help Me Ronda with Ronda Palazzari.

I'm also excited about the fact that 21 Secrets, the brainchild of Dirty Footprint Studios, starts on Mon.April 1st. Some of my favorite artists will be presenting classes, the price is incredible and there is still time to sign up. Go HERE to check out what the workshops are!

Reminder: There is still time to apply for the 2013 Helmar Design Team. HERE'S the information you need! It's a great DT to work on ;)

For the GIVEAWAY ~ Leave a comment on this blog post telling me if you like to use stencils and what are your favorite stencils to use. I will draw a winner on Mon., April 1st. Prize: 2 ~ 6x6" stencils from my ETSY shop...you get to pick which ones and I will send them to you.

Well I need to get myself going because today is Art Journaling Club here at my house...every Thursday three of us gather here for journaling, laughter, tears, hugs, coffee, lunch, secrets. It's quite the spectacle but I would be lost with this day!

Have a great day ;)
