Today, if you will allow me, I will take the opportunity to tell you about two very important but very different events.
{1} This Thursday, I'm hoping you'll decide to go barefoot. Yes, barefoot. Don't wear shoes on Thursday. Here's why...
Across the world, this event is taking place in schools, businesses, everywhere! My daughter is coordinating this event at her high school and I promised her I would help spread the word. It's not too late to sponsor an event where you work. At least check into buying a pair of shoes. We have some and they're great shoes, and not a worthier cause.
{2} Switching gears a bit...
I am honored to be teaching and vending again this year at Silver Bella. This amazing event (really, it is amazing) comes each November in Omaha and is hosted by the ever-gracious Teresa McFayden. She has lined up an incredible variety of instructors, so for those of you who may be a little tired of me (I hope not!), you may choose to attend the classes of her or her or her or her or her or even her--wow! We hope to see many familiar faces and many new ones. Check out the Paper Bella Studio site for info and updates. Registration opens tonight!
Thanks for letting me take a little side trip for these important announcements!
Sending love your way...
Gorgeous Banner. I would love to learn from your creativity and soak in some of your sweet spirit.

The Day Without Shoes is definitely a worthwhile cause. Good for your daughter to be spearheading something that will have such an impact on others. Silver Bella looks like a fun outing, but I'm afraid I'll have to enjoy Silver Bella online only! Thanks for sharing two great sites.

I'm so excited about Silver Bella! Last year I took both of your classes, and this year I'm signed up for both of them again. You are such an inspiration, Rebecca. I can't wait to see you in November.

No, we are not tired of you yet!
I'll see you in November, in both of your classes. :)
