WOW! Sounds interesting!

I love this concept!

I'm SO glad you two are offering this! It's going to be AMAZING!

That sounds wonderful.

Arty and are are offering round 2 of Part 1: 16 - 19 February 2012

And then Part 2 [for those who have taken part 1] Oct 5 - 7, 2012

Just trying to get it on your calendars for those who are interested ...

Is this officially going to be an annual event? I would LOVE to come to both parts, but I'm at the point where I am budgeting and scheming almost 2 years in advance (and I already have my 2012 tickets in hand!)

We hope so. The last one was a lot of fun - in spite of the tree that fell on my house ... So many Ah HA! moments for all of us.
