Don't Forget the Guys...

Man of the World by SHELBY PIZZARRO Sisterhood of the Muse 

 Remember to link up your "manly" creations for my FATHERS & BROTHERS challenge for June... It continues until the last day of the month, which is next Thursday, and on that day I'll do a random drawing to pick the prize winner of $10 store credit at Lunagirl.com!

You know you have a great guy in your life... father, brother, grandpa, uncle, son, friend...

Bring Your Wings...

"Escape" to creativity this summer... without leaving home... with Artful Gathering online art retreats! Or go ahead and wander... you can take your workshops with you online and enjoy them anywhere.

Registration for Session One is now OPEN!

I'm truly honored that Zinnia has asked me to sponsor again this year. AG is a great summer event for anyone who likes to create ~ talented inspiring instructors, unique workshops, and so much beautiful work to see! Lot of variety, something for everyone. Stretch your creative wings this summer...

The theme this year is Bring Your Wings. I hope Zinnia won't mind if I share this quote by 'anonymous' from the website:

"If you want to fly, 

give up everything

that weighs you down. 

Walk away, run away, 

dance away, fly away, 

just don't stay in the cage... 

Just when the caterpillar

thought the world was over, 

it became a butterfly..."

Fathers and Brothers: Week 3

Trying to remain hopeful in the face of so much sad news... Love has always nurtured courage and hope, and this weekend remembers the love we give to and receive from our fathers and father-figures. As Father's Day approaches, help us celebrate our fathers and brothers, grandfathers and uncles, and all the special men in our lives. The Design Team sends you encouragement below! Link up to my June challenge Fathers and Brothers...

Sorry about the late challenge start!!!

I created the June challenge post a day early, and I THOUGHT I had scheduled it to go "Live" on June 1.... apparently I goofed and just left it a Draft rather than "Scheduled." Sorry about that, but here it is below, better late than never.

June Challenge: FATHERS & BROTHERS

All this month link up your creations on the theme of FATHERS and BROTHERS. Grandfathers, Uncles, Papas and Daddies all welcome, too! Link up your creations featuring males and/or suitable for giving to the guys...

Here are some digital collage sheets featuring men and boys, to get you started, and don't miss the inspiration from the Design Team below. I hope you have fun celebrating and honoring the special fellows in our lives this month!
