I Can Solder!!!

Posted by Swoon with Deb Hodge

I had so much fun these past few days with the Fabulous

Terri Brush!

This woman, a teacher, my friend, spent time patiently showing me how to learn the art of soldering.

Terri taught for three days this past weekend during the

Mermaid's Mercantile

in Solana Beach.

Each day was a different class, offering the most beautiful pieces for her students to create.

Terri will be back the 2nd weekend in November to bless us with more amazing pieces

that she will be teaching us to create.

Can you say
Paper Clay & Soldering!?

Thank you Terri,

XOXO Deb

Swoon with Deb Hodge said...: Thank you so very much to all of you, my wonderful friends.
I appreciate you more than you can ever know.
I am so grateful to finally be around women of strong substance and character.
We lift each other up, are elated when another achieves success, and have happy, gracious, loving and kind words when speaking and thinking of one another.
I thank God each and every day for my kind and loving friends.
God weeds out those that are unkind, self-involeved, threatened and cruel.
Thank you all for your support and love. You are truely blessings in my life.
