But this week there arrived a big envelope when I got home from work! Yes.....!!
Now I know I'm not dreaming anymore.....
I feel so honored.....because the IGMA has awarded me with a Scholarship for the Guild School 2012 at Castine. So now it's time to decide which workshops to follow. And that's very difficult since there are so many nice/interesting workshops to choose from.
On the website of IGMA you can read more about it, here http://www.igma.org/guild_school/scholarships2012.html you read more about the Guild Scholarship Program.
Congratulations! I am sure you will LOVE IT and have a great time there. :-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWOW! Fab news :) Congratulations and so well deserved. Hurray for Jeffery! You must be so thrilled (I remember did a little dance when i got the news).
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBest of luck with choosing from the divers class offerings, I can relate cos I'm doing just the same as we speak. Can't wait to hear what you class you wanna attend. Whatever you pick, it will be lot's of fun. Enjoy the prep too, that's just a s fun.
Again, congrats & be proud of it!

Hi Sophia,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you....have you been there?
This year Geoff Wonnacott doesn't give a workshop at Castine if I'm correct.
But I've picked some other interesting classes.
I'll keep my fingers crossed and hopefully get my first choice.
Hoi Jef
