I am back from 3 days of teaching at the CREATE Retreat in Irvine, CA. As usual it was a wonderful experience but boy oh boy was it A LOTo juggle with baby and husband (I am used to doing this stuff alone!) and something I had been fretting about for months leading up to the experience! But I am happy to say that I made it through the drive, three nights in a hotel room with a baby, teaching all day and one night and nursing a baby through it all- thanks to my wonderful husband and partner in crime!

YOU GO GIRL!!! How awesome to make the time for creating and juggling mommyhood at the same time. Thanks so much for sharing these photos, looks like so much fun and love everyone's beautiful work. Would love to come play at one of your retreats!!
I was at the Larger Than Life class and I just want to thank you again. It was so inspiring and I know it will influence my future work tremendously. So fun to get so messy and work so big. You're a rock star girl!
It was so wonderful meeting you in person this weekend. The classes were fabulous. Thank you!
Enjoyed watching the retreat ! Hats off to you for bravery of handling work and home together. Keep rocking ! :) best wishes.

I would like to ask which brush ( the one with water containter) do you use? I mean which make is it?:D
Me encantaria porder ir a una de tus clases.
I was in the doodles and drawing class and I enjoyed it so much I am continuing to add what I learned into my art journal. This class just might have changed how I art my daily life!
good for you! and im sure the classes were understanding! i would be so excited to be able to attend!
LOVE THE ART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
amazing !! but unfortunatly, i live in France !! i
Alisa - I had a great time in all 3 of the classes I took with you!!! You did a great job of teaching, demoing ALL the techniques and checking on each of the students. Everyone was so involved with their work - we loved it. Talk about getting to play and experiment - it was great. I see my blue and black cloth made it on for the Beneath the Surface class made it "taped up" on the post - I really enjoyed doing that. I also loved doing that journal stitching in the Make Your Mark class - what you said about the sewing machine being your pen really rang true. My little flower project was the last picture here - I am really excited to try painting first and then stitching all over it - I think it will be amazing. Thanks for inspiring as always! Cheers to hubby and baby for helping you so much.
congrats! i wish i was there...juggling with your classes and a baby too:)
the expressive stitching class could be an awesome online class?!
This looks INCREDIBLE! So much fun!
i too wish i was there! these pics are so inspiring!! i would love to create art like this!! so happy it worked out for you with a little one and hubby in tow!
Your creations and art style (with beautiful color) are incredible to me. Oh how I would have loved being at that retreat to learn from you.
