Registration is officially OPEN for Full Tilt Boogie. And. My burmese honeysuckle is blooming.
I’ve just been tidying up around here, pressing the curtains, sweeping the floor, polishing the windows, making the cocktails, taking off my apron, and waiting for my new batch of craft monkeys to get here!
I’ve still got plenty of work ahead of me, loose ends that need tying, other things that require my attention.
50% of my attention is with the young punks at school and the other 50% is being poured into FTB. I’m feeling a sense of wild delicious excitement ping pinging of the walls of Moss Cottage.
I’m hoping to get back to regular broadcasting soon. I’m especially eager to talk about this sweet little book I’ve been reading every day after lunch. One of you recommended it! But I can’t remember who! Dominic …It makes my heart feel big and squishy. Yours will too. Just wait.
Thanks for coming here. Thanks for being encouraging & kind even when I’ve left the lights off and the back soon sign dangling on the door. It means a lot. Really & truly.
Hello! Is it too late to register now?
Wee hee hee hee! Off to register now…
P.S. And now you must read “Sylvester and the Magic Pebble” and “The Amazing Bone” also by Steig.
Oh! It was me! It was me who recommended Dominic! I got all teary when I saw that you were reading it. Isn’t it the wonderfullest book ever?? Oh I’m so happy you are reading it! Telling people about that book is like turning people on to sunshine! Thanks for making my day!
I’m so glad your are back with us, Mary Ann.
You must be both tired out and excited – a very heady combination!
Please count me in. I promise to be carefree but not slapdash when we launch ourselves on this adventure.
Wish I could come over and share some creative time with you. Your so “normal” and ful plus very creative, that’s why we love you.
My first online class AND my first art journal – it’s a great moment! Very, very excited!
I’m so excited. For ONCE, hanging on to those old albums was the correct thing to do! I can’t wait to give them new life and in so doing, expand my own life. Your classes are transformational!
I’m all official and signed up and vibrating with anticipation! Let’s BOOGIE!
Oh! The Burmese! I can only imagine the scent. Dominic by W. Steig? I will be using your FTB class to finally and forever compile my suitcase full of love letters and memorabilia from WW11. Knew that first time I saw your FTB Paris Journal!
I am so excited about this class. Was so happy to see that it was up and running. I love Mary Ann’s classes and yahoo groups that go along with them. So much fun.
Ta DA!! I’ll be spending my summer with you putting together my own version of my Father’s life story. He was liberated last November from this existence and I’m ready to celebrate his 91 amazing years!
I am in!! can’t wait to check out what you have conjured up for this class! My tuckus is ready, my friend! LOL
I can’t believe I’m 8 hours late! I am just about to have breakfast and thought I’d check MA’s blog first since TODAY IS THE DAY (insert squeal of excitement here – wheee!) and lo and behold, signups started early, late last night!! Never mind, I’m in, I’m in, can’t wait to get started (except I’ll have to, since I’ll be in Portugal with Teesha & Tracy when this train leaves the station, but I’ll jump on board as soon as I get back).
Beth, can’t believe you are up at 2 am to go to a flea market but then again, I wish I was going with you!!
I had to get up early today for a trip to our favorite flea market. So glad I did cause I got to sign up. I have been so waiting for this day!!!
OMG HA HA Hi Renee!
haha – I see my sister (Michelle Rydell) beat me to the signup!! I share in her complete enthusiasm! Can’t wait to see what you’ve cooked up, Mary Ann! I know it will be great!
EEEEK!!! I’m so EXCITED!!! I just signed up and can’t wait for it to start! Thanks Mary Ann!
