July 7 - Houston, July 27 - Valley Forge, Aug 4 - Nashville, Aug 18 - Tulsa, Aug 25 - Charlotte, Sept 8 - Jacksonville, Sept 15 - San Marcos.
and we squeezed in a trip to Disney World (I figured while we were in Florida...) and little time to see the Alamo in San Antonio (Did you know that 2011 is the 175th anniversary of the Alamo?)
We started the latest run of CK conventions in Texas and we ended in Texas. It was a lot of fun, but, I have to say the last couple of months surpassed my normal "whirlwind" lifestyle and launched into a full blown Texas Twister! Seven conventions packed into a little more than 2 months... The craziness may have been enhanced by the excitement of the earthquake and the hurricane; but, seriously WHAT WAS I THINKING?
I have a three week travel break to sort of catch my breath, get caught up on some things, and ponder my schedule for 2012 before the contracts are due.
It is going to be a tough decision (which conventions to go to and which to eliminate from my schedule in 2012); however, as much as I love visiting new places and teaching at conventions... the last couple of months have really been "insane!" By the end of this recent "tour" I was more than just a little home sick. Lesson learned, I am making it a goal - NOT to be away from home (and my studio) so long next year.
I know some of you are thinking "Don't skip MY city!" - I can't make any promises about that; but, I can make a different promise. Having more time in the studio next year (vs on the road) I am committed to dedicating some of that time to creating fabulous on-line classes for 2012. :)
AND for those of you who think you might be interested in joining the Mosaic Moments Design Team, I am sooo excited to get that started! (I will post the details in a separate post soon.)
Happy Scrappin!
