Photo from Sherry Goodloe. Her blog is http://www.gotart4u.blogspot.com/I had a wonderful time on The Artful Voyage to Mexico! Had classes with Tim & Wendy ... made beautiful pieces of art! Made a travel journal, 2 pieces of jewelry & a collage box with Tim, and an art apron, a bulletin board and a fragment necklace with Wendy - learned new techniques, played with encaustic (wax) art, worked with Claudine Hellmuth's "Sticky-Back Canvas" - and, yes, I'll share pictures. Thank you for all that shared with me.
Glorious weather, except for the day Tropical Storm Patricia made the ship change its course. Scheduled stop in Cabo San Lucas on Tuesday, but Patricia wanted to be there more, so on to Mazatlan & Puerto Vallarta, then went back to Cabo. During the storm many suffered from seasickness, but with all the cures, many recovered soon. I was so fortunate that I didn't get sick....me from the midwest, never seasick..The days in Mazatlan & Puerto were fun - hot, humid, lots of sightseeing, some shopping. Both cities were beautiful & my tour guide was great!
I was on land in Cabo just wandering around, and saw a woman collapse from the heat, so I decided I didn't want to join her in the ambulance, and headed back to the ferry. Well, I was in the wrong line, listening to several people talking about their day They were so interesting I nearly joined them on the wrong ferry. Luckily, the guards caught my ships info, so I was back on the right ferry and back to the ship in plenty of time. I was going to go swimming, but it was so crowded. I just chilled in the Studio. We nearly lost three people who missed the boat, but they caught a Tugboat and was hauled up to the ship. It was witnessed by some of my new friends, and so funny when they described it. They weren't with our group naturally.
I can't thank these guys enough, Tim Holtz, and all his gang, Mario, Keychain, Michele, Jan, Wendy and Rick...all the Scrapmap group, Jim and Jaci. I'm sure I'm forgetting someone, but a big thanks to Jaci who found my long lost luggage. I'll add more later...got to go make some skinnys!!
