back on the stage

I didn’t get around to sharing much in September. There wasn’t much creating going on in my studio. My time was filled with rehearsals and performances for the play The Curious Savage at The Barn Theatre in Willmar, MN. It was a wonderful experience. I had the amazing opportunity to reprise a role I have played before – ten years ago I played the same role when the Hutchinson Theatre Company did the same play! The Curious Savage is one of my favorite plays and Mrs. Savage one of the best characters I have ever portrayed! If you ever have the chance to see this show done – GO! It is a beautiful story, hilarious and touching all in one.

Of course I had to create a special card for my fellow cast/ crew mates. I tied it to a special line in the play. “Take and umbrella, it’s raining.” It is a way of saying “I love you”.

Mrs. Savage tells Fairy May there are hundreds of ways people say “I love you”, you just have to listen for it. Something we all can learn to do.

Now that the play is done, I need to get back in my studio and create some new projects to share. I hope you will come back to see what I come up with! Let’s shine a spotlight on creativity!

Well… the past two months flew by! I haven’t had much creative time in my studio lately. My days were filled with directing the play “Shadowlands” for our local community theatre. It was a beautiful story and I am grateful for the opportunity to bring it to life on stage.

I also had the opportunity to attend Stampin’ Up!’s local On Stage event in Minneapolis on April 13. (Yep, same day as the final performance of Shadowlands. I made it back just in time!) It was a great time to reconnect with my demonstrator friends and of course getting the NEW 2019-20 Stampin’ Up! catalog!

So many exciting and fun new stamp sets and products are coming! One of the benefits of attending On Stage is the opportunity to preview products from the new catalog. We got to use new product for our make and take projects, plus we were able to order from a selection of new items!

These were the make and take projects featuring four new product suites and a preview of the May Paper Pumpkin kit – designed with Stampin’ Up! cofounder Shelli Gardner.

Now that my calendar is a bit more open, I hope to get back to creating in my studio again. Not going to lie, kind of feel like my mojo is still hibernating from the ridiculously long winter. Time to get inky!

Thanks for staying with me! Join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!
