good stuff happening!

this picture pretty much wraps up how i have been feeling lately:
super enthusiastic
slightly overwhelmed
inpired
happy
and a teeny tiny bit kooky.
lots of good things happening lately-one big thing is your warm response to my mermaid camp suggestion. wow! thank you. i honestly was thinking of local women when i wrote this-it never dawned on me that any of you would get on a plane to come play with me. i am beyond flattered.
i am booked with kid camps all summer-so i was thinking maybe around october or so-depending on how many of you are interested. i would like to keep them small and intimate (10-14 per play class) and am open to doing several so everyone who wants to attend will have the chance.
i am going to think more about this in the next few weeks. a big thank you to everyone who left a supportive comment, email, or telepathic high five. i felt it. ![]()

oh! and two things that are also making me happy this week:
1.) making fairy jars! my students have been ALL about them. i cannot take credit for this fabulous idea, i got the idea straight from one of suzi blu’s videos. suzi is also offering an online class this summer-check out her website for details. i am going to take it-it seems wonderful! i want my mermaids faces to look as sweet as suzi’s little girls.
and
2.) this video and this video.
i am really considering getting a youtube account and vloging. it looks like a damn good time.

one more thing-if you are interested in attending any of my playshops, would you mind leaving a comment or emailing me (mccabe@dancingmermaid.com) and letting me know if there is anything specifically that you would like to learn or do?
sending love to you today….

love, mccabe

And you thought none of us outside of Cali would be interested??? Shame…:-);-) Seriously, it would be an honor to be in one of your classes! Whatever you choose for our play time would be perfect. I think you really should consider vlogging. LOVE Suzi’s and yes, she has a way of making it all seem just fine. I KNOW you would do that or more.

I am so in, just name a weekend & me and my Canadian passport are there.
When I think of you, I think of your lovely use of colour, something that I’m still quite cautious with - teach me to express what I feel!

I wondered back after being gone for too long. I forgot how wonderful your blog is ~ thanks for inspiring me tonight! Blessings and Prayers, Katie

I would love to look for some wonderful stones, paint them, and then leave messages for others. Spread our art and love into the world.

YES! Count me in whenever you do a play day. Also, if you have dates for your workshops over the summer my sister would like to bring my niece KELIS! I told her all about it and Kelis is so creative you would love working with her! She turns 3 in July.
So lemme know dates and I will get my sister in touch with you! Love & Light ~ANG

I would so, so love to come to a playshop with you! But, I’m on the other side of the country and can’t see myself getting on a plane to fly that far. I would love to read about them and see pictures if you would share!
Blessings, ~*~

I keep wishing I could come to your class. I know it would be amazing! I’ll just have to look forward to reading about it once it happens.
My girls and I are also going to do the fairy jars this summer. It will be hours of fun for all of us. I’ll just have to have camp at my house, just the girls and me but totally inspired by a mermaid! Thanks for sharing all of these great ideas.

Ummm, I’d totally fly out - I miss you, and it’s time for my “every other year trip to Cali” anyway. If you gave enough advance notice, I’ll see if I can scrape together enough $$ for airfare and hotel.

I have two tickets to anywhere just waiting to be used….hmm……*smiles wickedly*
