Wow......just wow!

Just a moment ago I got an e-mail which completely made my week.  In fact I am sitting here beaming as I write this!!!  Sometimes, I wonder why I have a blog.  Often the pressure of creativity really stresses me out trying to come up with new stuff to show you all the time.  Hey.......I'm just being real here!!  I rarely take a break and I rarely talk about others work (unless I get it for a swap.)  E-gads, I sound really strange, huh?  Like where in the heck is this going, Carol???  OK.......let me tell you what happened!

Tonight as I was cleaning out my spam e-mail folder, I came across an e-mail from a stranger.  Now, with all the crazy virus' out there, I mostly don't even open stuff from people I don't know, but for some reason, I did and I'm soooo glad.  The e-mail was from a gentleman named, Don Masse who is a teacher at Zamorano Fine Arts Academy in San Diego who used one of my quilts as inspiration for his students.  You must read about it here.  I am so honored!!!  I never really tell many people, but in my younger years, I wanted more than anything to be an art teacher for middle school.  I went to college for it, but never finished because my mother was a widow who needed my help financially.  Instead, I got a job in an insurance company and climbed the ladder there.  Needless to say, I never stopped loving art and crafts and anything creative!  In many ways, I feel as though I have taught kids now.  I am beaming!!  Please read his blog!  How completely cool!
