Saturday's class with Lilia was a vintage paradise. I was holding court with seven artistically-enhanced lovelies.

Alice, Kathy, Cynthia , Cristina, Reva,  Tammie (myartsoulwings.typepad.com) and Holly (hollylovesart.blogspot.com)created the most inspirational and eclectic vintage journals I have ever seen!

Lilia taught so many short-cut techniques in one afternoon..I felt as though I took 6 classes!

We were treated to a royal education.
