We're leaving for Portland in the morning.  Can't wait.  It's a great city and I always look forward to seeing our friends <a href="http://www.skycraft.com/">Peggy Skycraft</a> and her hubby Jack.  Here's a pic of their place from last year, although it was September and the weather was much warmer. Predictions for this weekend are cold, rain, and damp.  It's ok.  Maybe we will get a change to marble paper. If you ever wanted to learn and don't have a class nearby, you should really get <a href="http://pagesage.com/artists/peggy_skycraft.htm">Peggy's Paper Marbling DVD</a>.  It's packed full of great technique, but if you ever get to Portland, she'll be more than happy to set up a class for you.  It's worth really worth it.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4288416849782556975-1312391825345674630?l=judiwatanabe.blogspot.com'/></div>Judi Watanabehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02091578459914172840noreply@blogger.com3
