A little Update...

As some of you know there was a miss-communication at the hotel on what dates and how much space we need for our June event. The hotel has a Jr. ballroom towards the front entry but before confirming I want to go over there and check out the lighting.
Sorry for the delay but I would rather be sure than have us in a dark room. The room is available June 17-19, 2011 so that is the date I am looking at confirming.

Once again I am sorry for the delay but I want to be sure before booking the room. Thank you!

See you Tomorrow!!!

I'm teaching 3 different Mini Workshops at the Desert Scrapper's Retreat on September 17th and 18th. These aren't my normal long technique classes... they are Mini Workshops that are an hour to an hour and a half long. These workshops are all pre-paid and when you get to the event I will have your kits all ready to go with your names on them!

Friday night I'll be teaching this "Itty Bitty Distrezzed Desk Calendar" workshop for only $10! And... since the dates aren't filled in you can start the calendar with October if you don't want to wait until January to use it. We will be Distrezzing, Smooch Spritzin' & binding the book with the Bind-it-all.

Itty Bitty Distrezzed Desk Calendar$10

About Donna Salazar:
Donna fell in love with both art and her husband in high school. A lot has changed in her life in the last 20 years but these two constants remain the same. Donna is living her dream... making a living as an artist. She loves seeing the beauty that surrounds her in everyday life and you will see her favorite things (that portray her Glamorously Grungy style) show up in her design work. She never uses clip art but chooses to take her own photos and alter them in Photoshop to create her papers and stamps. She had her first major launch of "Donna Salazar Products" in January 2010 with 4 paper lines, her Crafty Chronicle, 24 stamps, and her Distrezz-it-all tool (which was created in partnership with Zutter) after a small introduction to designing, at Summer CHA 2009, with Pinecone Press.
