bill and i are frantically packing and getting ready to leave for an 11 day workshop tour through europe. we leave in an hour and i am just finishing up my canvas tote bag project for the next Live with Prima (which will be april 28th at 9:30 PM EST)
i am seriously excited about traveling with bill this trip and the little ones are seriously excited about the alone time with grandma and pop-pop. they spoil our kids something terrible and they all know it!
this trip we will be going Paris, Belgium, Germany and ending in England. i will take lots of pictures and i am even bringing a camera bag with plans to draw and doodle on it in the plane. while bill fidgets and squirms because he can't sit for that long, i will be enjoying the quiet time alone with my bag, hee hee!
so Au revoir, Auf Wiedersehen, and cheers.
we plan on posting from the road we will be updating the fan page too so make sure and check that too.
Look out Europe..here come the Downeys ...have a great time !!!

Hello Donna, I'm Brazilian and unfortunately could not make your course.
But I'm writing to see how the paint can you use in your projects, thanks, Tania.

ok, I just painted and put an iron on on the smal ccanvas camera bag and I am so excited about the iton ons! I did have a bit of a time getting it to go on, but it finally did and I am so excited! I wasnt to put them on everything!
One request, can we get some iron ons using some of the quotes or text you use for the unity stamps? that would be awesome to go along with the flower iron ons.
Thanks so much for all the awesome inspiration!
