PART ONE
Last week I journeyed to one of my favorite places to visit, Stampington (not once but twice). Many of you know this is a journey that I make often however I have to share something with you......as I make my final turn that will lead me into the parking lot of the office my heart beat rises a bit, excitement floods me and I feel as though it is my first visit all over again.
After spending a bit of time reflecting on this I have come to realize why I feel this way. Stampigton is an amazing place of inspiration and quite frankly talent. From the amazing staff to the artwork that lies behind the front door the entire experience is much like that of attending a party.
On occasion I have had the pleasure of sharing time with fellow artists. This last week was no exception on Tuesday (visit one) I met up with one of my fellow Artsmiths and amazing artist Angela Cartwright. Getting a sneak peek of some of Angela's new and divine pieces was a wonderful treat one which all Somerset reader's will relish and enjoy.
PART TWO

On Friday the journey to Laguna Hills occurred for the second time in the week. This time I was joined by three amazing friends Lorraine George, Deryn Mentock and Ruth Rae. While visiting Deryn and Lorraine enjoyed a tour of the offices.

Oohs and aahs flooded the halls as we were introduced to new and inspiring works from wonderful new artists as well as those we have all come to admire so much. Seeing everything laid out prior to finding it's way into a publication is an amazing experience, a feast for the eyes if you will.
A perfect photo of two very inspirational women in the art community - posed in front of creations submitted for the new Stampington publication Apronolgy. Remember to submit by September 15th!!!!! Check out Jenny's cute shoes.
Move over Vanna Deryn and Lorraine have arrived. I could not resist posting this photo of two fun and wonderful friends who I enjoyed spending the day with!!!!
Stay tuned for my next post.....a day with Jesse Reno!
