take a look at our table!
this is the lovely lena - i met her at our jury appoint for an arts festival... and it turned out she was signed up for my class! she teaches as well...
the very sweet and talented mary who works at the bead shop where it was hosted...
and super fun suze weinberg - who has her own line at ranger...
my biggest fear was that i wouldn't be teaching these super knowledgeable women anything... it turns out that i did - and learned a lot as well -
i was walking on air when i left there - thank you ladies for such a wonderful afternoon!
That's excellent MJ! Great job, I know how rewarding that feels. Was this your first time teaching?? They were lucky to take a class from you. Riki xox
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your first teaching gig, and a very rewarding one! I know one day I will see your teaching schedule advertised for Bead and Button, Adorn Me, and all the famous venues!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! That's so exciting. I think I would be too intimidated to speak, personally! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWOOHOO! i am so proud of you, mary jane. you conquered your fears and found something wonderful in return. i am sure that not only did you teach but you learned so many lessons. that is the beauty of being a teacher of anything. sometimes it feels like you get more out of it!

Oh, to be near you so I could take one of your classes. It looks like a great time was had by all. Congratulations! xo
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, M.J. Teaching is such a rewarding experience. I know the ladies left with their heads spinning with great ideas!
ReplyDeleteI've met Suze before...back in my rubber stamping days. A friend of mine used to work her booth at all her shows around the country - she is a giant in the industry. You're hanging out in some high-level company. Awesome!! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteOh - how awesome to go to teach and come back on an even better level of enlightenment… If only we could bottle that feeling up and keep it with us for times we need it. So happy for you!!! (Got your email too - just been running around a bit crazy these days :)
ReplyDeleteHi Maire
ReplyDeleteThis is a Pump Up Your Self Confidence Event! Of course you had something to teach them!! Your work is fab and lots of us wish we could do it. While learning the technique is cool, presentation of the thought can never be equaled. BTW: I recognized Suze right away.. WOW!
Congrat's on a job well done, and I am sure you learned so much as well! There is nothing better than giving of oneself...it is the biggest reward, and you will carry that with you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I am so glad you had a great experience and I am sure the ladies were thrilled!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on that first step!!! I am sure you will have many more teaching events to come. It sounds like it was fantastic!
ReplyDeleteTeaching is such an intimate way of sharing yourself and to do it well is quite a challenge. It seems that you've not only contributed to others but received the same in return. It's a rare teacher who can learn from her students-- congrats!
ReplyDeleteyou have a lot of talent to share... I'm so glad you felt rewarded when you left..congratulations..you are a star! xo
