For those of you that might be saying, "I don't have a laptop" to bring to the workshop, don't worry. If you don't have the capability of bringing a computer, you can watch how it is done. I don't know about you, but I think notes are a good thing when it comes to the computer. It's hard to remember everything, so bring your notes from last time and you can add to your photo reference information. If you have any questions, please feel free to call Cheryl or myself and we will be glad to help. If we don't know the answer, we will contact Doug and get back to you.
Hope to see you at the workshop.
