Oh my word  you guys, I am so excited! Just so you know, I’m going to write a lot today due to the overwhelming, just mentioned excitement… Ok, deep breath. Ahhhh. Here we go:

So, a few months ago I wrote a post about a friend of mine who was having a hard time with the emotional {and financial} ups and downs of being an artist. Well… your response to it was amazing! Thoughtful, emotional and understanding comments came pouring in. As I wrote back to your thoughtful, emotional and understanding comments I wished so much that we were all in the same room talking/crying/laughing about it together. I decided that the only thing that made any sense was a camp, workshop, kumbaya-ish kind o’ weekend. Well, a few emails and a really fun coffee date with Angela Ritchie of Ace Camps later, and my dream is coming true. Yep, we’re going to Palm Springs this October people!!! The workshop is called “The Art of Confidence” and it’s all about breaking through artist blocks, facing our insecurities, moving forward with our work, but most importantly, realizing that we’re not alone. Oh, and  it’s going to be at gorgeous house with two pools in Palm Springs mid October… need I say more? Here are a few shots of where we’ll be staying:

Yep. Awesome, right?! If you want to find out exactly what we’ll be doing, please go and check out the Ace Camp site. You’ll find a detailed description written by me, what’s included/price, and a full itinerary {things like jealousy-shattering exercises, mixed media sketchbooks, poolside pilates, a screening of Handmade Nation, and more!}

A few spots are already taken, so sign up soon! I’m ridiculously excited {clearly!}, and I cannot wait to meet you!
