\"\"<\/a>As one gets older time seems to go by faster and faster, I can not believe how quickly 2016 went by and it was not the best year, my life has permanently been altered by a few  significant changes, and because of that I have decided to live everyday as if it was my last, for one never knows what the future holds. <\/p>\n

For 2017,  I have made some pretty lofty resolutions, I have not written them down yet but I do plan on doing just that, so I can keep them front and center in my mind everyday and try to accomplish everything by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

However, in the near future I am looking forward to the Florida Gourd Festival in February being held in Melbourne again. I will be teaching a class Saturday afternoon if I have at least 8 students, so far I only have 6, so just need two more ! Here is the link for more info – scroll down to find my class, not the best photograph but that is what was posted. <\/p>\n

Here is another image, the two necklaces on either side are the ones that will be included in the class tutorial packet – everything except general painting supplies will be furnished to the students.  Each student will have completed a necklace and bracelet by the end of the four hour class.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> That is about all for now, have a happy, healthy and prosperous 2017 and keep creating ! <\/p>\n

Thank-you for visiting my site, questions and comments are always welcome.<\/p>\n
