January started off well with a trip to LA to spend time with my wonderful daughters! Julie lives in LA, Ali flew in from Michigan, and we all got a luxury Airbnb with an amazing view.  It was so fun to hang with them, relax, and laugh a lot. 

We soaked up the sun at a botanical garden, park, and historical cemetery; ate at wonderful restaurants; and chatted late into the night.. 

Last weekend, we went to Great Wolf Lodge in Fitchburg, where my husband Eric and I had a great weekend with his son, daughter, and their children. Eric and I are both wearing wolf ears, in case you were wondering!

It's an indoor water park and activity center (including mini-golf, virtual reality games, a ropes course, a climbing wall, and an arcade), as well as restaurants. Lots of fun!

We all tried new things. I did the ropes course and climbing wall for the first time. Most of all it was fantastic

spending time together!

On January 21st, we hosted the annual New England Mosaic Society brunch at the studio and had a great turnout. 

Each person brought a mosaic to show the group, we had a put and take table with materials to share, and the potluck brunch was delicious!  

I was so busy I didn't take a group picture where everyone was looking my way, oops!

Michelle Sider Workshop and Retreat

I'm so excited to host Michelle for this great workshop! I just opened registration a week ago and already have 8 signed up.

It only has 14 openings, so if you are interested, sign up today!

Cheri's latest creative interest is making these fabulous mirrors! Most of them have themes, with this one being inspired by Native American culture. The last couple of pieces had an Asian theme, and she is going to make the next one out of slate.

It's always fun to see where her creativity takes her!
