Dear Criss,

Well, as October begins I can sure tell that fall is here - our weather has been beautiful, which is not normal for Fresno, CA!!! The kids are back in school, sports are in full swing and life is just crazy as usual - but, I wouldn't have it any other way!

This year I got "spring fever" a little late - I have had the desire to clean house (literally) and get my home and studio organized once again (it won't stay that way). With all this cleaning and organization - I unburied my drafting table and decided it was time to create some new stencil designs. These new designs are inspired for the decorative finisher in mind - to add pattern and design to their creative finishes. These new designs will be unveiled at the Meeting of the Masters later this month.

I also spent an incredible week with a talented individual creating new classes. Krista Vind and I teamed up to create several exclusive classes that will be offered at SALI next year as well as a new studio class.

More on all of this to follow - hope to see and hear from many of you soon -

Creatively Yours, Jennifer R Ferguson
