I love to bake! I enjoy looking for and trying new recipes that I find on Pinterest. What better way to try these new recipes (and not have to eat the whole recipe by myself) than on the girlies at my house during Sally Jean's classes. Everything was yummy and got rave reviews.

The jackalope is an antlered species of rabbit, unfortunately rumored to be extinct, though occasional sightings of this rare creature continue to occur, suggesting that pockets of jackalope populations continue to persist in its native home, the American West.
Sally's Jackalopes were spotted in San Diego a couple of weeks ago in the company of talented, artistic ladies that came to play for the day with Sally and me.
The girl's caught many a Jackalope...
They were mounted...
Some were painted white...
Others painted blue...
Antlers were added...
A special corset was made...
And attached to journals...
The finished Jackalope Journals...
Were gorgeous...
Love how all of them turned out!
28 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
8 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
Matthew 28:1-10
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”
48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. 49 The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and[e] went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”
Matthew 27:45-54
Announcing Sally Jean Spring 2013 San Diego Classes
March 13-15, 2013
I sat down with Sally before she left to brave that superstorm known as Hurricane Sandy. She came up with two amazing classes for your artful instruction in March. I have seen the samples and I cannot wait to make these beautiful projects. We are only offering two classes this time a one day class and a two day class. Read the descriptions below and sign up quickly to come and play with us!
JACKALOPE JOURNAL
~ Wednesday, March 13, 2013 ~
Is the Jackalope a myth? Or a legend? Or just a creature who lurks in
nightmares? On this day, the dream of the Jackalope comes true! We will
construct a small journal from metal and glass, with pages for sketching or
biology notes, and adorned on the face with a...Jackalope! (Did I mention the
Jackalope can be detatched and worn as a pendant?) New techniques you will
discover include a way to emboss/engrave/etch your solder and how to create a
shapely soldered decoration to your glass, and more. Soldering experience a
must. I believe...do you? It's almost taxidermy...but not.
Glass Kit, Book
Form, and Jackalope Kit included.
$150
DEAD BUG SOCIETY
~ Thursday & Friday...March 14 & 15, 2013 ~
This Workshops has sent me over the moon! I am crazy for it! In this special
2-day Workshop we will be creating our own Entomology Specimen Box. Don't run
away! In "girly" terms, it is a box containing a Butterfly, Moth, Bee and
Dragonfly...but not your average bugs. These bugs will be made out of glass,
paper, wire, fabric, jewels, found objects, etc. Even better, each will be a
pendant/brooch which you can wear, and then keep in your special "Butterfly Box"
which we will also build. There are four different techniques for creating your
"bugs", and you will learn each one as well as how to make an easy-opening box
to hang & display your Collection. If there is extra time, we can make a
necklace which the Bugs can hang from. You supply butterfly net &
bee-keepers hat. Glass Kit & Box Form included. Finished box 6"x6" to
8"x10". Bugs are a few inches each. Soldering experience a must. 2-days
$285
Looking forward to seeing you in March!
