Dear Diary,
I went to a fabulous class taught by my wonderful friend Patty Porter!
She is one of the designer's for Mystic Paper. I have been dying to take one of her classes. That was one of the nicest classes I have ever attended there. She made us the most beautiful books that were filled with great information and cool illustrations. She had chocolate, chips, and bottled water for us, and she gave us these cool mechanical pencils. One of my favorite parts of the class was looking through the books she has put together. They were just beautiful. I am having trouble describing them. I was overwhelmed by the love and time that went into her Heritage Projects.
I am so excited because she is going to have follow up classes and coach us with our projects! A couple of years ago, I got the idea to make a family cookbook. The pages up top are 2 out of 5 pages I have completed and only one of the five has a recipe. Boy do I need help. All afternoon I have been going through boxes and tubs and my craft closet trying to get it all together. Two more weeks till our next class! I'll keep you posted on my progress!

This is gonna be fun Lisa! I can't wait to see your family heritage. They must be hysterical. There's a title for you "Lisa's Hysterical Heritage".
Glad to see your work, how's Buddy? This class seemed interesting. Can't wait to see more. Did you and your sister get pictures dressed like beatniks?
Hi Lucy,
You will have to ask Sarah Ann for the recipe of the "Super Moist Corn Bootie (or is it supposed to be Booty) we served at our Redneck Potluck lunch. Sure to be a family classic! When are you coming to San Diego?
Love your blog!!! Esther
Esther!
Haven't you heard? Big party at Sarah Ann's weekend of July 10th! Lucy is flying in Friday and I'm coming in Saturday afternoon! Tell Sarah Ann to send me your email so we can get together!
Lisa,
