find me by the seaside...

today i am blessed to be boarding a plane for
this wonderful event is being hosted by 

this beautiful brave girl.
i feel abundantly spoiled as i will get to go and soak in all sorts of
wonderful classes taught by several women whom i really admire.
&
just to name a few.

i feel extremely grateful to be meeting up with precious artful friends i have gathered into my circle along this creative journey i am cultivating.
 kathy wilkins from brave girls
 brave girls...marianne, camille, kelly and kolleen
 wise and wonderful brave girl patrice {hugging kelly}
melody, lara and elena...all brave girl sisters
the bravest girl EVER....jamie
{being smooched by kolleen and i}
 my talented "unearth" sister and photographer...patty
and i can.t tell you how excited i am to get my arms wrapped around
this "unearth" scarf sister of mine...the beautiful miss G...{gloria}

just writing these words and looking at these photos gives me goosebumps
and makes me recognize how incredibly privileged i am to be completely enveloped by such amazingly strong, courageous, creative, brave souls over the past year. i look forward to sharing some fun stories with you
and want to send huge hugs and kisses to all my girlfriends old and new
who won.t be finding themselves at the seaside this weekend.
i truly love you all!
