Guidance == to someone drifting in a sea of anxiety.
Understanding == to someone who is confused.
Tolerance == to someone who doesn't see things the way we do.

Pictured are Shelley Jones, Pam Hill-Byrne and Sharon. We had just completed a workshop on thread painting at Susan Levi-Goerlich's studio, back in July 2012. This was what became the first of many over the next 2 1/2 years. Our group of 4 became 6 with the addition of Eileen Martin and Meg Romero, all gathering at Sharon's fabulous studio! We named ourselves The Creative Playground. Our mission; to share ideas and inspirations, explore new techniques and materials and to have fun. And that we did! I will always be grateful for the chance to know and work with such a creative group of women. Sharon was the "glue" that held us together. She was generous, inspiring, fun and a good friend. I will certainly miss her.
