This week was a whirlwind of activity! There’s no rhyme or reason to all of it except that ART happens, so let’s take this on a day-by-day basis.
Monday– Got my advance copy of Somerset Studios with my ‘With One Palette’ article. They did an absolutely beautiful job with the layout.
The other really amazing thing in this issue that still has me pinching myself, is this little bit of text on the Masthead,
I’ve known for a little bit that this was coming but it didn’t seem real until I opened up the magazine and saw it for myself. I’m so honored to contribute to this wonderful publication on a regular basis and so very thankful for the opportunities that have unfolded these past couple of years.
Tuesday-I finished an article for Artful Blogging! Thank you so much Orly and son for helping me get this new site all set up!
Wednesday–
Writing up the text and doing the step-outs for the next lesson in Journal 365 and hosted the first Live Chat that evening! It was great to get some one on one time with everyone. The next lesson starts May 1st if you’re interested in joining us!
Thursday-Spent the day video taping the next workshop lesson and talking to Lisa Bebi and Renee Richetts about our upcoming workshop in PARIS!! Lisa and Renee also have articles in the current Somerset Studios, which was great unplanned timing as it coincided with the workshop announcement! Be sure to check out this super-packed issue!
PARIS in DECEMBER! It’s been in the works for several months and are now finalizing the details. I’ll post the info as soon as we nail down the last bits. If you’re interested please send me an email and we will send you the information directly.
Friday– I booked my ticket to Paris and spent the morning working on my accommodations; on the top of the list is an apartment that Modigliani stayed at! Can’t even begin to believe how cool that would be!!
Also had to update my passport, that’s my ‘I’m going to Paris smile:-)

I’m still pinching myself Vanessa-lol! I’m so busy right now that I have to remind myself to stop and take it all in, so I appreciate your words. I’m going with two seasoned travelers, one who used to live in Paris so I’m in good hands:-)
So glad you posted today – we’ve missed you. But wow what a week!!! Congratulations on all your success/goals. I’m loving that yellow/teal layout.
Hi Lorelei,
Yes it’s been a crazy few months! But crazy good:-) Are you on Facebook? If you are and haven’t already, friend me on there, I tweet or post daily over there so it’s a good way to keep in touch more frequently than the blog even. http://www.facebook.com/reqs.php?fcode=7800c62b1&f=1073011394#!/pamcarriker?ref=profile
Teaching in Paris!! Oh my!! Sounds so lovely and I sure wish I could come. Especially since our class got canceled.! That really bummed me out! Sigh! Congrats on your articles…can’t wait to see them.
Have a great weekend!
Hugs
