Growing wings

I did some exploring yesterday and discovered a few really cool art workshops and classes coming up in 2008. I haven't decided if I can make any of them work but I'm really feeling like an angel just sprouting her wings and I am hoping to take flight before the year is over... and I know that all is as it should be and the rest will happen in God's time. Here is a list of neat happenings - let me know if you are thinking of attending any - maybe the universe will put me there too!
By the Sea...Art and Soul Artist workshops in Portland Oregon, October 1-6, 2008
