REGISTRATION for RAINING UMBRELLAS AUTUMN 2012 is OPEN!!!

Good morning!  I'm so excited to announce that registration for the Autumn 2012 session of RAINING UMBRELLAS creativity e-course is now open!!! I'm extra excited about this Autumn session (scheduled for October 22 - November 16) because I've added some special do-it-yourself projects from talented artists such as the sweet Tina Fussel (Traveling Mama). Plus, it's Fall here in the States and it feels like a time to get cozy and pull out those creative projects we sete aside in the active Summer months. 

I've taught this inspiring and fun course five times now and each time it just seems to get better!  The interaction between students is great to watch and we build such strong bonds throughout the four weeks we spend together.  I hope you'll join us and let us get to know you and inspire you to use that wonderful creativity to it's full potential.  :)

There's one more day to Register!

Good morning. :) How has your week been? Mine's been extra busy! I've had some requests for some new photos from my art publisher and I'm preparing for the West Elm party coming up on December 1st. Eeek...so much to do!

My creativity e-course, Raining Umbrellas begins this Monday, too, and I'm so excited to get to know another group of inspiring, creative women from around the globe! It really is a great experience and I end up developing precious friendships each session.

I hope you'll join us this time! It's a 4-week course that will end just in time to give you a creative boost right before the holidays. If I can toot my own horn, I really think it's a one-of-a-kind course. I'm pretty sure there are more artist interviews, motivational activities, colorful artwork/images, and encouragement for your creative journey than any other e-course out there. When writing Raining Umbrellas, I put my heart and soul into each lesson and count it as one of my sweetest accomplishments ... right up there with photography. :)

Sooooo, in conclusion, registration for this next session (which begins this coming Monday, November 14) ends tomorrow at midnight! Follow THIS LINK for more information and to register. And, if you sign up with a friend, there's a special discount for both of you. :)
