fall workshops + classes

I spent today packing up supplies to ship off to my workshop I am teaching at Artascope Studios in Maine in just a couple weeks! I'll be there Sept 25-27th, there's still a couple of spaces available if you are in the area!

Here's Mabel in one of my suitcases, she's so big makes this suitcase look small!!

I used to drag most of my supplies along in my luggage, but now with airlines charging so much for each bag - even the first one - $25 on US Air thank-you-very-much. It's way cheaper to ship even if it's a 50lb box!

The only bad part about shipping your supplies ahead is even though I make a list I always second guess myself at the last minute wondering if I brought enough of this or that etc. But the GREAT part is just wheeling to the airport with my carry-on bag! weeeee!!!!!

And speaking of workshops ... here are my last dates for 2009 below!!!

My kitties do the SAME thing when I pack. They just love to hang out in the suitcase until I kick them out. Too adorable.

Hello,

It looks like Mabel is going with you!

my dh travels for a living and whenever he has his suitcase out to pack, they jump in. I think they either want to go with him or are trying to scent his suitcase to keep him from cheating with other kitties while he is away :)

Mabel is a cutie and she looks like she is ready for her trip to ME with you!

My Gracie loves to sit in the suitcase too ~ it seems like she is trying to tell me not to go, or that she wants to go with me...but in reality I know she is just being a cat and having to lay claim to the new "box" in the room!

Looking forward to your beeswax class in Daytona Beach!

I have a roller suitcase/duffle that my cat just loves. It's soft sides and It lives on a lower shelf in my closet. When my cat sees the closet open she makes a bee line to that suitcase and snuggles into it. I have to clean the cat hair out before I can use it, LOL

Oh, I love seeing your kitty in the bag! Mine used to do that, too -- cats are so funny! =)

Hi, Claudine! Mabel is beautiful! So pleased with herself, too! They somehow know that you're leaving soon whenever they see those suitcases and try to go along. She's a sweetie! :-)
