SallyJean: February 2011

Because you asked...another Soldering for Virgins Session has been added!
Register Now for March 1-March 14 Online Workshop!

While a live Workshop is the ultimate, not everyone can travel to attend or sometimes schedules just don't work out. Thus, I have taken the dive and created an ONLINE Video Workshop SOLDERING FOR VIRGINS! Get de-flowered in the comfort of your pj's & bunny slippers!

Whether your a true Virgin, have taken a Workshop and are looking for a refresher, or are a Soldering Goddess, you will surely find a tip or trick that is invaluable. How do I get my solder so smooth? What happens if my jump ring tips over and sticks to the charm? Which iron do I choose? Over 90 minutes of video instruction and demonstration coupled with .pdf files of artwork, supplies, and highlights, as well as two group chat sessions are included with your Registration of $50.

Registration has begun...

(Note: Once the class is full, the Registrations will be closed)

The Workshop will be available March 1 - March 14

Come play with me...staying just where you are!

Comments from the first Online Virgins Workshop:

The class was fantastic. Learned so much - and what a difference in my pieces!

What an awesome online class! Looking forward to more online classes from you!

Sally, thanks so much for the class. Even though I've been soldering for years, you've

taught this old dog a few new tips.

Thank you for a great class - it surpassed my expectations.

This workshop is wonderful...second only to being there in person with you! You did

such a great job with the videos and I've learned so much just watching them through the first time.

This has been a very informative and fun online class. I have learned so many tips and

techniques from you. Thank you so much for sharing...can't wait for the next class.

Although I have taken the class, I really appreciate this review and as something I can refer

back to while I hone my skills. I think this will make me even more comfortable.

Love one another and you will be happy.
It's as simple and as difficult as that.

and to shower that person with reasons,
that is the ultimate happiness.

It is not that love is blind. It is that love sees with a painter's eye,
finding the essence that renders all else background.

destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love, time is eternity.
