Training…True Colour Expert

As I mentioned a few posts ago, My BFF and Interior Design colleague Linda and I flew to Vancouver, BC  Canada to joint Maria Killam’s colour class.  She is without a doubt a true colour genius and a wonderful teacher !   You can find her in the blog world at http://colourmehappyblog.blogspot.com/

I was so lucky to have had the opportunity to take her class in colour and become a True Colour Expert.

  I now look at colour in a very different way.

If anyone is interested click on her blog and sign up for the next class in

Atlanta-May 11-13, 2011   or    Vancouver June 23-25, 2011

 

We stayed at the Coast Vancouver Airport Hotel  in Vancouver, BC

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel (airport pickup) and if you are thinking of going by yourself there is a wonderful White Spot Restaurant in the lobby of the hotel.  Very safe for a lady on her own.
