Sad news, our car died tonight. Long story short no more trips to the grocery store or anywhere else in it. I will be hoofing it to Budget tomorrow. Wish me luck.

I am leaving in the morning for my drive up North to Sanctuary Studio. Sonora Beam is graciously hostessing four workshops of mine: Whispers: Mail Art; Composition/Design 101: Collage; Taped Journal; and Reach for the Scissors: MORE collage. You can find out more workshop info here. Remember, a journal from the 1000 Journals Project will be there and we are going to be allowed to work in it-how cool is that?? I am looking forward to it. (Check out the ABC News report on the 1000 Journals Project here.)

I am also looking forward to seeing my friends Alix & Kathy and meeting my friend Muki!! We are all going to do some serious shopping, eating and lots of laughing!!! Check back some time late Monday/Tuesday for pictures and an update, unless they haul me off somewhere. If you see a redhead at Flax Paper, Kinokuniya Bookstore, Moe's, Cody's, Castle in the Air or Paper Source over the next few days-say HI!! Berkeley, here I come!
