Wishing You a Faerie Happy Valentine's Day!

Jessica and Me

Jessica and I had a good time at the Highgrove in Fuquay-Varina this past weekend at their Open House for brides. We thought it might be a good place to exhibit our businesses, and we were not disappointed.

I encourage any of you who are endeavoring to start a business or grow the one that you already have, to seek out ways to reach your clientele.

Layout Principles

Had an enjoyable time sitting by the fire last night with those who came to the Help Session, bringing their ideas and sketches for their AGM Fanciful Letter piece.

Before the 5 women arrived, I sat down with my stack of books and read their chapters on Layout. I tried to summarize all of the various instructions into a one-page easy-to-peruse sheet.

Also, you will see the paper that was used to work out some layouts for some of the pieces. One gal had a circular piece, so you will see an illustration for that in the bottom left-hand corner. Another one had a piece suited for the portrait layout.

So, if you were unable to come, I thought you might enjoy seeing what we did, and hopefully, if you need help, you will consider the next Help Session!

Deb's Heart

Just wanted to brag a little on Deb. Today was her final session in my Italic Brush Lettering Class. We had fifteen minutes left, and I gave us both a challenge to do a piece from start to finish. A finished piece that she could take home with her.

She finished hers. I did not! Her talent just flowed out of her and she hardly had to think about it.

I'm very proud of you, Deb!

Peace
