From the very beginning, I wanted The Art of Craft to be a creative learning experience for everyone involved - students, teachers and all of us here at FG. I loved sitting in on all of the classes and hearing other teachers teach - learning from them and a bit more about myself. I loved how my mom, Kick, was in the kitchen feeding all of us for three straight days - next time she'll craft more and serve less! I loved how my sister Molly came and was here from beginning to end and still managed to teach an inspiring class! I loved how JZ, Sofia and my dad showed up Sunday evening and helped us throw a soiree with Jo Packham! I loved how the girls, Dawn and Christine, worked the till till the end, and finally, I loved how the teachers and students gave and received so graciously. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

I just loved the two classes I managed to get to! Thank you to all your " worker bees" ( your Mom, Sis, Teachers and Staff) They just buzzed about so effortlessly and with calm energy ready to assist wherever needed. The wonderful fellow crafters where also part of the magic. Thank you Kari for this fantastic experience! When can I sign up for the next Art of Craft Weekend?

The French General is the BEST!!! Kaari really knows how to put on an event. She and her staff are wonderful at making you feel really special. Nothing is done without a lot of thought and special attention. I spent the weekend at the Art of Craft event and have not had so much fun in years. I was not ready to go home. I can't wait for the posy work shop. See you all then FG gang.
