Monday in the Classroom

After a slightly nerve wracking morning dealing with a dead battery in the rental car... I spent most of the day in the classroom. 
Before lunch, we worked on learning how to paint Santa Fe skies. I, of course, added a little story about a red balloon and a flock of birds. 

After lunch, I did a workshop on lettering then showed lots of journaling ideas in a slide show. 
I had round two of birthday dining with Lisa, Christine, and Donna at the Midtown Bistro. This great restaurant was behind a rock quarry, fountain, sculpture place...

Here is Lisa Heron - who totally ROCKS...

And the food was fabulous too...

I still only have parts of journal pages completed, but here is the map page I started...
