I went to Sao Paulo, Brazil to travel teach in November of 2010.  I spent 6 days teaching there with a couple of extra days to sight see a little.  I had so much fun teaching the classes!  Thank you so much to Marianne at Pincelar for inviting me to come!!  Hugs & Bjs. 

In October, 2010, I was invited to be the guest of honour at the FIDAD convention in La Paz, Bolivia.  My husband Dale even made the trip with me!  Besides teaching 15 classes!!, we found time to visit Lake Titikaka (the highest navigable lake in the world and Dale even went on a bike tour.  His pictures were amazing!  The convention was great and it was wonderful to see so many talented artists from all over the world.  I am so flattered that I was asked to be the guest of honour and I will never forget the wonderful experience.  I even made several television apperances and made some of the local papers and magazines. 

Dale's bike tour....they called it the "road of death".  Now closed to vehicles, this road was the cause of many accidents as it was so narrow.  

After the opening ceremonies, we walked through the trade show floor while these 3 talented musicians serenaded us.  It was so much fun.  I wanted to take these guys home with me.  lol

Taylor is now 2 1/2!  Time sure is flying by and we are having so much fun together!  Her paintint skills still need a little work...haha

Here are some pictures from past conventions....  Hey, if you have a picture you would like to share, please email it to me at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it
