I just received word from Carol Winslow that Bertha Mathis’ husband Bernice has passed away.  No other details yet.  Please keep Bertha in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I’m sure after looking over the supply list for Ros Stallcup’s upcoming seminar, you might be wondering where you can get the lettering brush she has listed on her supply list.  I know I was wondering.  So, I emailed our wonderful Cindy Moore and asked her.  Here is what she found out for us regarding the lettering brush.  Thank you Cindy for checking on this for us.  Melissa

Dear Cindy,

This post is regarding the books that are requested for the Ros Stallcup seminar.  This info came from Ros.  I also want to let you all know, in case you missed it on the previous post, paint will be provided at the Ros Stallcup seminar.

“I usually suggest that they bring Gran’s Workbook if they have it as it such good reference for many of the things we are painting.  Gran’s Magic has the hibiscus design that we are painting and could be helpful.  It is out of print but I will be bringing a few copies.  They do not have to have the books but could be helpful if they have them.”

Ros Stallcup

Thank you

Melissa
