I'm truly honored that Zinnia has asked me to sponsor again this year. AG is a great summer event for anyone who likes to create ~ talented inspiring instructors, unique workshops, and so much beautiful work to see! Lot of variety, something for everyone. Stretch your creative wings this summer...

The theme this year is Bring Your Wings. I hope Zinnia won't mind if I share this quote by 'anonymous' from the website:

"If you want to fly, 

give up everything

that weighs you down. 

Walk away, run away, 

dance away, fly away, 

just don't stay in the cage... 

Just when the caterpillar

thought the world was over, 

it became a butterfly..."

Journal Journey For A Cause

Here is a chance to get involved in something wonderful! Visit RosesOnMyTable to join a journal journey for the joy of creating and also a chance to help a great cause that provides Service Dogs to veterans who need them:

"Beginning on November 1, 2014 Roses On My Table will be hosting a month to month journal journey experience that is even more special than all our past journaling years together. In the spirit of the journey we want to dedicate 12 segments of sharing our journey together toward supporting Alphak9 in the amazing work they do.....

Each month from Nov. 1, 2014 to Dec. 1, 2015, we will present a new journal prompt and a series of fun exercises to go with it. In our first month, I will share a brand new set of video instruction on how I make my own handmade journals. Then, with each new month, I will share a new video(s) to inspire you! I might share how I create my journal pages for that month, or a new technique, or a new way to make an art journal. All for your one-time donation of $35." 

BTW, Roses On My Table is a project of Zinnia Galliher who also does the fabulous Artful Gathering online art retreat each summer.
