Gifts and A Wonderful Class in The Rabbit Hole!
While teaching a Soldering Class with Lisa Loria, Lisa aka Principessa shows the students this beautiful Vintage can. I was about to say.......my birthday is coming up and at the same time Lisa was handing me the doll can and saying "An early Christmas Gift to you". She knows me so well, I LOVE this piece! Grazie Principessa
and another Gift came from Kim and Terry just before the class started, thank you Ladies for the kindness and for taking our class.

THE GIFT OF TEACHING is been the most rewarding to me and I plan of having a 2012 full of fun classes!

The Rabbit Hole was amazing, this is Lisa's workshop and she did such a fabulous job on getting everything ready for class and her daughter Emily was so much help too. Serving Coffee and making sure everybody had a full cup!
The students: Missy, Maggie, Kim and Terry made this Bling Baby solder bottle with mini crown and a votive candle holder solder with crystals.
One of Lisa's Trays holds the pumpkin muffins served in the morning during class.
Queen Maggie with her vintage doll getting ready to start soldering.
Terry, the power solderer. She was fast and just went down to business.
Love her smile!
Missy.....what can I say about her! She did amazingly well for been her first time and taking a class that required so much foiling and soldering. Well done Missy!
I am missing a photo of Kim, she was so busy soldering and I must say that I will look forward to taking a class with her or teaching her more soldering techniques. Kim hosts a wonderful, dreamy retreat every year, please check her website for all info.
Lunch!
