This was truly an Inspired weekend! Four days of letting your inner artist out, even when you are a type A person like me! This was the perfect enviroment with everything you could possibly dream of needing. Donna was there every moment of the way encouraging and inspiring us to learn and grow and be happy with the artist that we becoming. Donna, Bill and her Mom spoiled us the entire time with homemade catered food and dinners out in a limo!!! The little extra touches made everything so very special!!! I can't wait to go again!!!

It's been a couple of weeks since Inspired Weekend, and I want you to know that I am still INSPIRED! I signed up for Inspired Weekend for several reasons. I wanted to be in the first small group event because I wanted to have the chance to really get to learn from Donna in a more intimate setting, and second because I knew that you two would spoil us all rotten, and third because I wanted to peek inside Donna's personal art journals and see all of the gorgeous work that I watch being created on Inspired Wednesdays. Well, Inspired Weekend was far more than I even anticipated and I came with high expectations! The entire weekend was a creative nirvana for me. Every little detail from the art journal and brush keeper with my name embroidered on it by Donna herself, to the food that looked and tasted like artwork, to having access to unlimited supplies and fellow artists....I'm still on a creative buzz! I feel like I got injected with Vitamin Creativity and it hasn't worn off yet! The most valuable thing I think I came away from Inspired Weekend with is the ability to truly and creatively experiment in my artwork. Donna is a stunningly beautiful artist and teacher. Gifted with the ability to light the artist within others, and my inner artist is still on fire! Thank you so much Donna and Bill for being THE MOST gracious hosts ever. I can absolutely not wait for the next opportunity to participate in another Inspired Weekend.

Love and many thanks!
