Although my actual birthday may not for another month and a half, I’ve been trying to think of what to do for myself this year. Definitely something involving me time. (Who says being selfish isn’t that easy?) Last week I stumbled upon the ArtFest 2010 website and decided I would be going. Not necessarily as a birthday gift to myself, but mainly just to go since it had an interesting mix of classes and topics. Though, I was saddened to find out I likely missed out on the newest retreat, JournalFest since the entire event is geared more towards my interests. However, due to the event being in October and registration having been open for several months, I figured none of the classes were still available.

But, lucky for me the organizer of the infamous retreats (ArtFest, JournalFest, and ArtFiberFest), Teesha Moore, made an announcement this afternoon that spots were still available for October’s JournalFest. Oh happy day! Even though it’s more than 2 months away (October 21-25) a wave of excitement swept over me as I began to sift through the information and pictures detailing the various classes.
With all the incredible teachers and techniques that are being covered, I’m almost positive this will be one of the best birthday presents I’ve given myself in quite some time.
