Melrose, part II

Did I tell you yet how much fun I had last weekend? Oh, I did? Well, it bears repeating. I simply had too much fun with Diane, Wendy and the Melrose students. Our project was more on the mixed media side than straight scrapbooking and it was a blast. For many, it was the first time they'd played with gesso and artist acrylic paints. I was so proud of everyone's projects and loved how each one looked unique. What a treat.

Here are more photos of the store and the class while in progress! (sorry that the color is a bit off on the class shots)

In addition to class time I had the privilege to do some antiquing with Wendy and Diane (we all found great treasures! I'll get the photos of my finds up on the blog in my next post) and we had a rip-roaring dinner with Kim on Friday night.

Thanks again to each of the students and Wendy and Diane!

I simply ADORE Melrose Vintage, Diane and all the sweet ladies there. It is my favorite place to visit in AZ! You all look like you had the best of times. . .

Hugs,

Carolyn,

I just love that class project! Do you have instructions or extra kits for it? Your classes are always so much fun, because of gesso, charcoal pencils and all the fun techniques you teach!

I too love Melrose Vintage. I'm a lucky girl in that my brother and his family live in Mesa. Yeah for family!
