Making a list...

Greetings! Honoré here. I've been 'silent' for the past couple months; broke my write/right hand and just a week ago did my brace come off. I am now slowly but deliberately relearning how to use my hand… physical therapy in December and hopefully, come 2014, I'll be back to my old self, again.
Needless to say, my creative endeavors have been seriously curtailed, so I am so. looking. forward. to. this next month.

And speaking of, I just looked over the December's activities and class schedule…lots of fun things happening the first couple weeks of the month: classes and contests and celebration of the Queen's Ink's  13th birthday…next weekend, Dec 7 & 8, 10 AM to 8 PM.

Again this year, The Queen's Ink will be collecting "birthday" gifts: children's clothing (coats, hats, scarves, mittens, etc), toys and art supplies to help make Christmas merry for a lot of kiddos in the area. Check out the details here or call the shop for more information.

 I am intrigued with the new Seasonal Zentangle Project Workshop scheduled for December 4 or 14. I have always admired the illuminated letter Q piece hanging in the shop. Hoping I'll be able to take the class…

There are a lot of other goodies: classes that will help you make a few gifts for your favorite persons and also, on the schedule, there's a banner contest going on right now; read the post below for the details. Sounds like a load of fun.

I hope to see you at the Shop and even in a class/workshop or two.

Cheers~

Honoré
