Art Party Day

The Salvage Studio Art Party was a big heap of fun!

There were goodie bags and charm bracelet kits waiting,

banners and tissue paper flowers,

a table brimming with door prizes for everyone,

frou frou pin kits,

junque journal kits,

food and beverages,

people waiting at the door to come in,

and then focused on the workshops.

Our day together with these fun-loving and talented women was very, very special! Thanks to all who helped, and to our attendees for all the love they shared with us.

Art Party Today!

Today is the day...watch for more photos and highlights of our Salvage Studio Art Party.

Registrations are rolling in

We have a post office box for Studio mail now. It reminds me of my childhood. I have always loved those old windowed cubbys. Today when I went to get the mail, the first of the Art Party registrations were waiting for me. Linda F. and her buddy Grace both sent theirs in a pretty envelope. Linda even put the Art Party on the map!
