The two little words “Bless you!” can mean everything from “Thank You” to “Good Luck” to “I heard you sneeze!” Yet a true blessing recognizes the gift of another’s purist essence. It expresses our appreciation for who someone is, what they mean to us, as well as our deepest wishes for them. A heartfelt blessing provides a timeless, unique gift from the heart. Commemorate a wedding, graduation, new baby or simply a relationship you hold dear by turning your lovely sentiment into a frameable work of art. Join us for this 2-hour course as we discuss the history of blessings, follow a guided writing process to create a personal blessing and capture it on fine art quality paper finished with an embellished mat. It’s a unique, frame-ready piece that will be cherished for years to come.
No experience necessary. It’s courage and openness, not skill, that stirs our creative juices.

Nancy Gelband
Nancy’s love for art began when she could barely hold a pencil. The gift of her first paintbrush from her father at the age of nine, followed by a passion for writing years later, sent her already heart-depth creative flow to brimming. Whether commissioned or composed, Nancy captures the essence and spirit of life using various mediums and subjects. Creating art provides her with a sense of freedom and adventure but it is more the process than the skill that makes it so – It is this realization that fuels her desire to teach/share it with others.
