~New Orleans or Bust~

The Queen has arrived!!
All hail the Queen!

posing for a quick photo
in between magazine interviews all day in
 New York City.
Get ready for a media blitz in the coming months,
 thanks to ASCP Public Relations wiz,
 Melissa Riche.
Annie is now on her way to New Orleans
for the annual
 Annie Sloan Stockist Meeting.
Guess who is going to play with Annie in 
New Orleans??
ME
I am so darned excited I can hardly function!
I can't sleep!
I can't think straight!
I can't eat.....
ok, that 's a lie, I just polised off a Reese's Peanut Butter Egg.
But I polished it off because I wasn't thinking straight!!
As if that isn't exciting enough,

On March 30, I head to Leesburg,Va
to prepare for the March 31st
Annie Sloan Workshop.
Yes!
I get to play with Annie a 2nd time!!
But wait...I am not done yet...
Immediately after the Leesburg Event,
which by the way is going to be 
FABULOUS!!
Have you heard that the one and only
is going to be our guest of honor.
How cool is that?
There are still a few seats available, so if you are thinking about 
attending and meeting Annie..
Now is your chance..don't get left out.
Just when I thought my little painting heart 
couldn't take any more excitement..
I get an e-mail telling me that I am going to be
AN INSTRUCTOR
At the 
Did you hear me?
An Instructor...OMGosh!!!
Somebody Pinch me please!!
I had to go clothes shopping today
All my clothes have ASCP on them!
Have you noticed all the exclamation points in this post?
It's because
I'M EXCITED!!!!!!!!
Have I said how excited I am???
I can't wait to come back here and share my fun with you guys.
See you next week!
had to throw in one more (!)

Until next time..be kind and stay creative.
