she just seems like a super cool chick! i had taken her online classes for half of last year … so i heard her voice each week and really got a taste of her personality through her weekly "lessons". oh yeah … and she said she loved my hat and was about to rip if off my head. lol! thank god she didn’t go there … you don’t want to see me without it!

this is a great friend of mine, deneen … along with donna. i met deneen through dina’s store a few years ago and we’ve become great friends since. she’s got some health stuff going on just like me … although more serious than mine. she’s been just a great friend and remained very positive even when going through her treatments and stuff.

here’s a group shot of the ladies that did get to take her class. a few other scrapbook friends that i know from around here … sue, deneen, donna, and ann. they all had a blast making a cool mini album … and loved the part where donna taught them how to use the fiskars handdrill! lol! i’ve heard about this and so wishing i could have seen it!

i met up with them after their class … along with savon (who i don’t have a pic of to show … took some hard work to get these pics off deneens camera and over to me!). we all went out for dinner after and spent the night chit-chatting. fun times!

    You have to just love Donna Downey…one cool gal. I took a class with her last Dec. She is so down to earth and tells it like it is. Love that about her.

    How cool to meet scrap celebrities! I’m not familiar with her work, but I think I heard she’s from North Carolina like me! πŸ™‚ Looks like you had a great day.
