Art Camp number 8, has now come and gone !… what a whirlwind it was, weeks and weeks of planning and preparations are all now behind us..
I have the MOST amazing friends and team behind the scenes, with out these Lovely ladies, there would be no Art camp..
and that’s the TRUTH!
It takes an Army of labor and LOVE , and with that I have an Army of BOTH! They all show up with hugs and kisses and laughter so excited its time for another Retreat!
This is Jenni and Joy who worked their tails off all weekend cooking …
along with these girls, Teresita, Jenni, Tara, Jennifer, and Sheri, all jumped in to help us ! ..
along with these two powerhouse girls, who can move the whole house if needed ! Justine and Lisa, Not pictured is Kristin ! ( where is she LOL)
We rent the most beautiful homes along the coast,
we make art, 24 hrs and day lots of laughter, its contagious really, if you come and don’t have fun well then I think you probably aren't at the right home ! 
we had a full house this time, lots of lovelies came from all over the world to meet Melody Ross of Brave Girls, she was as adorable as ever…. along with My Special Guest Melody Ross, we all got to enjoy the lovely Stephanie Lee, shes always been a rock star in my book, my most favorite Teacher on the planet !..
make sure and look her up, she has lots to offer online and in several books out now.. I hope one day she will come back to teach ! * wink *
This is Missy and Tonya, it was Missy's first taste of Art Camp, she blended right in and became one of the BEST helpers ever, along with attending she LOVED working along side the kitchen crew and behind the scenes..
Tonya was the LUCKY lady who won this trip all for FREE!… she enjoyed every last minute of it, didn’t hardly sleep because she didn’t want to miss even a minute of play time..
Did these two girls go home with lots of new forever friendships.. yes I would defiantly say their hearts over flow with amazing new friendships..
ilona,and Lorraine are dear friends whom have known each other 26 years, seeing them together was so much FUN! , pictures is ilona, Lorraine, and me ..
Here is a sighting of Kristin, we think she got a job at Safeway while at camp, she made so many trips there, they thought she was employed there !.. these three are in separable ! and always LAUGHING !
we spread a little holiday cheer, the Holidays at the Beach was very fitting..
some amazing artists creations .. This is ilona Steelhammers lovely pieces..

Did I say there is lots of LAUGHTER! ….

My heart is over flowing with gratitude, I just cannot even begin to tell you how it all feels, the letters these women write me, the gifts the LOVE… simply amazing..
