Good Morning Everyone,
As most of you know I will be teaching a class at KC Willis' Studio Retreat in Colorado in February 2010. Because she is just beginning her Studio Retreats I would like to ask you to help spread the word out here in this Land O' Blog. So, here is what we need you to do.....
1. On your blog tell them about my altered book class, Bound Reliquaries, which will be held in her shop February 4 - 6, 2010. Then, and this is the important part, in your blog post link to her visiting artist page here: http://studioretreats.ning.com/page/visiting-artists-classes
2. In your post also tell them that the class is limited to 10 people. When the first 5 sign up there will be a drawing and one of those lucky artists will receive the class at 50% off the class price...that's right one half the cost of an already splendily priced workshop! :) But hey it doesn't stop there....when the next and final 5 sign up another drawing will be held and one of those lucky artists will receive the same 50% off discount off of the class!!!!!
Now for my blogging friends....once you have done the two things above come back here and leave a comment with a link back to your blog. Then, your name will go into a hat to win an original Bound Reliquaries book from me. You get to choose your colors, your theme and you get to guide me in what the small shrines should hold. How great is that????
So let's help get KC's studio off to a great start in 2010.....please pass the word along as shown in one and two above, come pack here and comment with a link to your blog post and we will have a drawing on October 24th!!!!
Thanks everyone and blessings to you all!!!
Lesley
P.S. For all of those looking froward to the Art & Soul in Wisconsin I will be teaching 4 classes and am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo very excited!!!!































I have heard so much about KC Willis and have seen the beautiful work she does and teaches. I would love to help her out and have posted a link on my blog. Looks like a fun workshop!!

Lesley, I was led to you by KC. I am taking her 5 day retreat in Nov. I LOVE your work. Your love of the family past gives me a warm feeling in my heart. I, too, am a Southern girl (Va) and family is everything!
I'd like you to check my blog on KC's page. I told everyone about our class in Feb. I wish I could be there!!

What!!! Wisconsin???? When? Where? What? I'm trapped in northern WI with no artists to play with. There are some very good artists, but they don't like to play. Please let me know where you are going to be at this Art & Soul event. Thanks in advance. I'm sticking you in my blog favs list now.
Blessings,
Pam

Have posted a link on my blog for these classes. I guess you don't do online classes. Love your work and wish I could get to the retreat but no go. Mind willing body not. LOL Hope I win.
