Hey All-
Doyle wanted me to give an applicator's perspective to the Italy Trip.
If you want to go to the next level, I strongly encourage you to go if you have the chance. IF you think you know a lot about plaster now, you will realize exactly how little you know when you see the plasters in their "natural" environment. The inspiration alone is worth the $$$$. It is a wonderful advance for anyone who is plastering for a living. My creativity has gone through the roof since I have been back. You learn more than can be learned here in the states. We are lucky to have a resource like this at our finger tips, so take advantage of it!!! I could go on and on. Oh yeah- If you love to eat, Momma Mia!!!

Italy sounds great, but until I can afford to take the time to go, I will just have to consider myself a lower level applicator and humble myself on how little I really do know.

Almost time to close the advance class in Italy. We have 2 openings left. I will be buying tickets next week. Please contact me if interested in the trip in March.

The Italy class is set. I am looking forward to a mini vacation next month. Even though I will be working, just doesn't feel like work in Italy. Will be posting infomation on the next class in Italy in October soon.
Doyle

Morning Doyle,
I was checkin' out the trip pics that you posted but they would not come up??? The screen showed the white boxes with red x's where the pics should have been? Did I do something wrong?

hmmm

I hope to go to the October Class in Italy.
Will work hard to achieve that goal.

Vallie

would be great to have you both there. Will post new pictures of Italy soon as I get back, if I can learn how to use my new camera...

Doyle

8Mpix? wow!!!

Joe who takes pictures for a living, came by and gave me some tips on how to use the camera. Can not beleive what a differance 1/2 hr. made of instructions. Joe has been a pro for over 30 years. And yes 8 mp is better that 2.
Doyle

Doyle,

You already take great pictures. With your new camera, I'm sure there are even better ones coming.
Looking forward to Italian pictures!

Hope y'all have a great trip!
