Holidays are here and lots of painting is beginning for gift giving. Here is our gift to you. SO-Soft fabric paint will be ON SALE for a brief time. Check out the website for all the details. Now is the time to check out your color supply. Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving and Happy Painting.

By now most of you have heard about the Earthquakes that moved over Oklahoma. No damage and it really does feel strange. Oklahoma isn’t a state you would think of for an Earthquake. How about tornados in the southwestern part of the state and a rain storm and earthquake at the same time and then later in the evening snow moved into the northwestern part of the state. I think you can say that Will Rogers was right, “If you don’t like the weather this minute just wait a few and it will change.” All in All I think fall is settling in and the colors are bright and beautiful. Enjoy a Happy Thanksgiving Holiday and Celebrate the cooler winds that bring us wonderful leaves to paint.

Well, the email is getting back to normal from its hacking.  We are getting ready to leave for Houston International Quilt Festival.  All the information states LOTS of folks will be attending.  If you are out and about in Houston stop by the booth 1228-30.  Doxie Keller and Cindy Forsythe will be Demonstrating, Ann Johnson and Darla Foreman will be doing Make It Take It projects.  Janette Ward will be running the business of the booth.  We are all excited and can’t wait to teach the quilters how easy it is to paint with So-Soft Fabric Paints.

In the Future!!  Watch for dates for the next seminar with Maureen McNaughton.  Will be scheduled soon.

Today started off pretty bad when someone stole my entire Yahoo Account.  You probably received an email with my name on it stating I was in Spain and robbed and needing money.  I am NOT in Spain and was NOT mugged and I need no money.  Many of you called and I really appreciate your concern.  I am just fine.  They has been quite a day.  More information is still coming to me about the whole situation.  I want to Thank all of you for your thoughts and I hope to back to normal soon.  I do not have any email addresses so if I don’t email, you know why.  I’ll have to build a new email data base.  Doxie is coming next weekend if any of you would like to participate.  It will be a barrel of fun. Could paint up to 8 projects and you never know when she might spring another one on us.  Again Thank you for your concerns and we are doing just fine.

A weekend seminar in the fall with Doxie Keller can only mean pure fun. Doxie will share fun techniques with Textures on different surfaces. We will paint on wood, canvas, and tar paper. One day will be fabric painting and we will paint one of Doxie’s wonderful designs on a shirt, as well as a surprise project. The last day will be a day of different surfaces and designs from Traditional Folk Art on Porcelain to a surprise project on a completely different surface. We will paint on 2 or 3 surprise surfaces that will be free of charge. So you could go home with up to 8 projects. Don’t miss this wonderful seminar. Fee is $250 for all 3 days and lunch, drinks, snacks each day provided. Hotel provides breakfast. Sign up today and join the fun.
