In Loving Memory

of

Some people come into our lives and

quickly go. Some stay for a while and

leave footprints on our hearts, and we

are never EVER the same.

 

 

Thank you for coming into our lives.

We wouldn't have missed being your

friends for anything...

Aloha,

 

 

The month of October is upon us and that means you are all in for a treat. We had a great meeting this month with lots of laughter and story telling, and of course some wonderful art to share with each other. I can't believe we are now down to only five more meetings till the round robin is finished. I know that everyone will have a great time looking at all the fabulous art in their own books.

 

 

 Please enjoy this month's art.

 

 

Creativity is contagious, Pass it on.

 

                                 -Pablo Picasso
