Amelia Island Workshop and Card Campaign

First let me start by saying a great big THANK YOU to all of you who have emailed me for Cherie's mailing address and offered to send hand made cards and notes to my childhood friend. The latest on Cherie is that she will have a tracheotomy and a G-tube surgery on Sunday. Keep her in your thoughts and know that she has been moved into her own private ICU hospital room. This means she now has a window and a WALL for hanging photos and cards and art on.

The card shown here was sent by Jason McCollum of North Carolina. Thank you Jason! I'll be visiting Cherie in the coming week and will let you all know how her room is and how many cards she has received.

I am in Amelia Island, FL this weekend teaching collage to nine wonderful students! Today we spent the day painting papers and preparing them for collage, which we will start bright and early tomorrow morning! The weather is beautiful and the students are very motivated. Pat even invited me for dinner at her beautiful home this evening, which was a wonderful time. Thank you Pat and Jack!
