A big Thank You to all of you who stopped by my trunk show today.  I love selling to teachers as they are some of my best customers.  They are generous, inquisitive and appreciative.  How about the impact they have on all of our lives?  There were several teachers in my life that inspired and motivated me to do my best.  Their words of  encouragement allowed me to express myself in ways that are still evident today.   I met a woman today that is celebrating 49 years as a teacher.  Remarkable!  Her secret is to focus on the positive and let the rest will take care of itself. 

  Here's to all of you for making an important contribution to the world as we know it.  My hat is off to those to bravely enter the classrooms on a daily basis even though they are outnumbered!  Most of us would run shrieking in the opposite direction.   Teachers,  you have my utmost respect and appreciation.

  Back to the studio, it's time to create.  Boxes of materials have shown up and are screaming for attention.   It's been too long and there's lots of ideas brewing in me brain... 

P.S.  A shout out to Toni.  Thank you for making me feel so welcome.
