In May I traveled to Kitchener to attend a Donna Downey class at Mixed Minded. I love Donna -- she is so funny! The class was called 40 by 40. Forty background techniques. Yikes! I didn't actually finish them all. My favourite technique was using pan pastels -- but I likely won't be using that again because of the fixatives involved (and, really, do I need a new obsession?). I love using stencils though.....
Full disclosure! While I was there, I had to BUY some things at Karen's onsite store.
I bought:
Some stamps -- 2 suzi blu, a decorative Christy Tomlinson and a bla bla bla stampotique stamp....
So I've totally cheated on my frugal year, but I'm still doing well, I think!
Sadly, some of my stamps that I brought with me got mixed up with someone else's materials and they didn't make it home (my favourite paisley foam stamp!) I hope that they make it home some day!

I hope your stamps come home! The class sounds wonderful and looks great. Buying art supplies is like buying food, it's a necessity.
