I loved everything about the class, and felt you and Jennifer really cared about me getting it, and I did, I went on and on to Linda how much I loved your class and to please bring you back next year!

See you next week!Joanne Huffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759522152058279949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168577161699519726.post-70432619195721624722010-07-27T20:47:36.396-07:002010-07-27T20:47:36.396-07:00You bring up good points.

Plus, I prep things as much as possible to save time in class! I am trying to provide more and more of the supplies students need to reduce their list but, so far, I have only taught locally so I've not dealt with the travel issues. However, since I have now submitted to teach out of state, I am trying to make all my classes along the same line of mediums so I'm not taking completely different supplies for each class. It's truly so much to think about! Then, if you vend, that's a whole other ball game!<br />Hey, do you need a microwave for AU? I have an extra and wanted to know if you need it before I find another home for it. It's not terribly big though. Seems I remember you needing one that was at least 15 inches from corner to corner... or something like that. maybe it was just for that class? Let me know. Can't wait to see you!Angie Plattenhttp://arttvisionz.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168577161699519726.post-79926616410771578102010-07-27T14:13:22.683-07:002010-07-27T14:13:22.683-07:00I don't mind kit fees at all - in fact I wish ...I don't mind kit fees at all - in fact I wish that the teacher would supply everything for the class and charge me what it costs. Then, I don't have to worry a bit about how I'm going to get my supplies there, or what I'll do with the leftovers. Yes, classes are expensive. But then again, I only take classes from teachers whom I am sure "know their stuff." So, I expect them to be expensive!! It's a treat to work with experienced, wonderful teachers like yourself!
