I have enjoyed this wonderful opportunity to meet so many nice people along the way. All the students have become very special to me. And the teachers...wow all I can say is what a journey I have taken. From the lovely ladies in Australia to the ones who have come from both the West coast to those from the East coast as well. Sandy Walker who I met on line and then got to spend real time with. I cried when I had to hug and say good bye. She took the greyhound bus here and back home. Pam Grose who feels like a daughter. Ellen Haytas who is like a little sister to me. My dear friend Annie Hesse.... it only took that first hug and we bonded. All the teachers I've taken to the airport and wished they could stay just a bit longer. Some day I hope I can go visit these people myself. In the future I may have to write my own book with all my experiences and the wonderful people I may have never meet if its was not for my love of doll making and other creative endeavors.
Doll makers are very caring people. In my own small way I hope I have shared my joy with others.
You are always welcome to my home. You may have to accept pot luck for dinner. But in the winter there is the warmth from my wood burning stove and I always have the kettle on.
