Prepping!

this week is all about getting ready for my workshop on saturday at the lavender farm..  when i first started planning, it all seemed soooo far in the future and now – voila – the time has come!  i’m printing lots of info, putting folders together and planning the details of the agenda.

 also making some small lavender-based mixed media pieces to offer for sale.  and cards. 

 oh, and i baked some yummy coconut banana bread with lemon glaze for my guests. 

 lots of other details – hoping i get them all done in time!

i’m beyond excited that this is actually happening.  i came very close to pulling the plug….  while i have some lovely participants signed up for the class, it’s not enough to actually “pay the rent” for the space.  i’ve been pretty stressed about this and figured it was a done deal.  not going to happen.

but i so hated to give up something i have dreamt of and planned for for so long… so last week i had a little heart-to-heart talking to with myself.  do i want to teach the class?  absolutely!  is it a good class?  i'm confident of that.  will i still be able to put food on the table if it doesn’t turn out to be a “money maker”?  yea, i guess so.  are there people signed up who want to attend?  yes again.  will i benefit from the experience?  no doubt in my mind

 so, i dropped my initial expectations and moved full-steam ahead.  the fact is that i love teaching and always learn right along with the students.  perfect weather predicted and i know it’s going to be a fabulous day!!
