It took many days of prepping kits and slowly packing. I flew Southwest so I could check to pieces of luggage, which were stuffed with ONLY art supplies! I packed all my clothes, toiletries, etc.. in this little thing and carried it on the plane:
I stayed with an online friend, Karan, whom I'd never met before she picked me up at the airport on Thursday! We had a great time together. She has such a comfortable, quiet home and a dear, sweet husband with the most beautiful spanish accent. Accents from Spain are very different that accents in spanish from Mexico. I learned to cook some new things that I'm anxious to try!
I taught on Friday and Saturday. My classes went so well! My students were great. Both classes were very relaxing and enjoyable. When I get in front of a class and start teaching, I get completely energized. I always thought I'd get nervous but I don't! I LOVE it!
Friday, I taught my book, One Page at a Time. I had a small, intimate class. We really enjoyed ourselves! Here are pictures from that class. (it was cold in there!!!)
One student had to leave early and I missed getting a photo of her beautiful book. :( This was a sweet and fun group of ladies. I really enjoyed teaching them.
I'm going to post the second class tomorrow. I'm dead tired! Heading to bed now.

I loved reading your posts on your trip. What a great experience. It was wonderful to see the expressions on each woman's face as she showed her art. Art is a powerful tool for bring joy...and sometimes more painful emotions. It is all good. I am glad you got to go. The connection with Karan and the teachers at CREATE was a blessing, no doubt. What a beautiful garden!
