What a Class!
It was really a treat to have these wonderful students today. I also got to play and make a shadow box.

These friends took the class:
Lisa Loria (very talented artist), Jeanine Gostenhofer (speech therapy teacher) and
Beth Livesay ( Editor of many of Stampington & Co.publications)
Thank you Ladies

I played too and made this box

Lisa brought not only strawberries but also red velvet heart shaped cream cheese frosting cupcakes! Oh mio Dio....so good.
I have to tell you that I love to teach soldering classes but I could not do it without the food! We had French Onion Soup, Mozzarella di Bufala with Tomatoes, Lettuce Wedges with Blue Cheese and Walnuts and if you remember I was brining olives 5 weeks ago. Oh.....they came out so good. But that's another post.

    I love this! I was so inspired I decided to try my own - and liked the results so much I blogged about it!
    Thank you Rita for inspiring me to think 'outside the box' when it comes to soldering....
