Hello! Miss JAM here!

Picket Fences is starting this November (running through April) as a "specialty night", ONE night a month @ jam. (The first Thursday of each month from 7-9pm to be exact!)

It's invitation only & I've invited leaders, pioneers, "rustic couture", & specialty niches that are not usually found all in one place. (there is a list below of who's on list to be invited as of now.)

Think:: Crusty artisans breads, homemade jams, local honey, tea, and specialty cookies. Local pastries & cheeses. Handmade organic chocolates & brittles - locally produced. Vintage! Iron pieces! Welded items, fancy pasta, seasonal crafts. China, rebars, baskets & buckets! Fresh flowers, bottles, soldered items - everyone can bring canned or non perishable items for donating and giving back to local food banks.

We are always thankful. Live music & fantasy lights for you.

Picket Fences - leaning on each other,
supporting local friends, giving back to those who need most,
soul touching & spirit awakening!!

Five Times Blessed take us to the Eiffel Tower!

With music too!
Eiffel Tower Sketching & Watercolor

My dear friend Shea from Austin Texas came to visit and jammed-away
with us - look at her sweet face below!

Nancy Mills of Five Times Blessed swept us away to Paris with a sketch & watercolor class of the ever-so-romantic Eiffel Tower!

Nancy brought the music too . . . we were able to place our
sketches on 1920's music sheets!

Tons of tiny straight lines later . . .

and, ripped & torn edges . . .

this beautiful creation was made!

And to think Nancy sent me a picture last months with message attached saying,
"Do you think I should teach the jammers how to sketch this & we can
watercolor and glitter it too?!"


We are the ones blessed by Nancy. To see her other creations & pieces she creates . . . go to her Facebook & Etsy shop *here* and purchase away!

Nancy has also taught a Pillar Candle Class here as well! Check out the link *here*.

JAMMIN Pillar Candle Class with Five Times Blessed

Pillar Candles are Officially JAMMIN
with Five Times Blessed
Have you ever seen something so simple made into something sooooo jammin?!

Jam was blessed the day that Nancy of Five Times Blessed walked through our doors.

"Hello... My name is Nancy and I want to share my story with you....
I'm a native Arizonian, mother of five, married 26! years, artist, encourager and friend.
I have always had a creative side... as long as I can remember, I've loved making things. It has been the one consistent thing that I have always come back to...it fills me up, makes me happy and gives me the opportunity to appreciate beauty. Words are very important to me. The power of the word is amazing. I love incorporating text into my mixed media projects because you can never have enough goodness in your life, and this is just another way to spread the love.
I hope you enjoy my artwork as much as I have enjoyed making it.
May your day be filled with blessings beyond measure.
Love,
Nancy
"
Using simple pillar candles & fancy napkins, Nancy taught our jammers how to make gorgeous decorative candles for the home.

Look what was created!!




Dear Nancy,
You are soooooo jammin! We love jammin with you!
Love, JAM
