Well its October and everyone is getting ready for the holidays. I just love making cards and gifts for the holiday season.  Most of all I like to receive cards and gifts. I got an early gift when I went to the Vintage Maketplace last month in Rainbow, Ca. That's where I met Julie Nutting. She is the author of Collage Couture, a wonderful magazine.  What a wonderfully talented individual with a warm and friendly personality.  Once we started talking I knew immediately that we were going to be fast friends. We talked art for what seemed like hours according to my wonderful supportive husband. Honestly it was really only about an hour or so.  During our conversation Julie was nice enough to offer to fit us into her very busy schedule. She will be teaching three different classes in our store Nov. 11th & 12th see our web site for more details http://www.geegeestampsnstuff.com/. We have all of the supplies that she will be using in her class in stock including extra copies of her book that she will be happy to sign when she is here.  I can't tell you how excited I am that Julie is coming to our store. I bought a 11 x 14 canvas of her work that I just had to have and hung it in my family room. I can't wait to take the class and make one of my own for my other family room wall.  I never thought I would be drawn to Collage art but I am and it's addictive.
