good luck and take care

Comment by Brigitte Martin on August 12, 2011 at 3:50pm: Since you guys all like mischief about as much as I do, I thought I'd send you into the weekend with an image of these High Heeled flippers by Dutch Artist Liesbeth Rommers.

I saw these on fb today and just had to share them with this group. Someone's comment:

"For the Formal Swimmer, no doubt."

Priceless!

See funny craft? Feel free to post here. We all can use a good laugh!

Comment by Jason Kishell on July 19, 2011 at 5:24pm: This is excellent news, Brigitte! Can't wait to see the final outcome.

Comment by Catherine Marche on July 15, 2011 at 3:12pm: That's good news, looking forward to seeing it

Comment by jenny Fillius on July 15, 2011 at 11:08am: Terrific! Thank you for the up date. So exciting!

Comment by Lenore Lampi on July 15, 2011 at 8:06am: Cannot wait to see it Brigitte, thanks for your inspiration

Comment by Tom McDowell on July 15, 2011 at 7:40am: Sounds like it's really coming along! Well done!

Comment by Brigitte Martin on July 15, 2011 at 7:08am: Almost....done. Ha! Formatting (check), fact checking (check), copyright researching (check) and all that other fun stuff is done. Now on to the last bit and - because I am such a nerd - one more round of proof reading just-to-be-sure-it-is-all-around-the-way-it-has-to-be. Then book a session with the big gun copy machine at my local mailing store and mail this phonebook of a manuscript off. Tada.

The neat thing is that some artists who missed the boat the first time aorund are already signing up and sending in materials for the next edition. That's great. Looks like this project will be with me for a while :-)

Have a great weekend everyone!
