Lovin' the Little Things

Ahhh...finally a few minutes to sit down and catch my breath. I've been running around like mad since the last time I checked in.

Thanksgiving was yummy and enjoyable. Not that it's not typically enjoyable...I think this year I had decided that I wasn't gonna get myself all tied up in a knot and stressed...and it will be what it will be! And it turned out fantastic...imagine that! That should be my new outlook I think...less stress would be nice. After dinner, I grabbed my little Christmas tree, turned on the Christmas music and went about tiding up my pool house, which doubles as my studio during the Artists Tour, to get everything ready to go for the big weekend.

The show was a great success. Friday morning, I was so busy buzzing around trying to get ready that I forgot to take any pictures. But the show was two days you say? Yeah...Ummm...same excuse for Saturday. Can you believe? So instead here are some items that sold...that I haven't shared yet.

So sad to see this go:(

I met so many wonderful new people and had a chance to chat with past clients, it's such a great time.

Now, to get in gear for the holiday season. There are tree's to decorate, shopping to be done, cookies to bake, and parties to attend! But, least I forget to enjoy the little things in life...like this gorgeous sunset, that I had the pleasure of enjoying last evening.

Can Hardly Contain Myself...

Raffle item for Southeastern Delaware Artist Studio Tour

I'm so elated with joy!! I recently juried for the Southeastern Delaware Artist Studio Tour and found out this past weekend that I was accepted!! WOOHOO!! I could hardly believe the email when I read it. I reread it a second time just to make sure that I had not skipped over the word "not".

The Artist Studio Tour is a self guided tour through studios and galleries of a group of prominent, professional local artists. The weekend following Thanksgiving this group of artists open their studios/galleries to display and share their art. Also, each artist donates a piece of artwork to be raffled with the proceeds going to the local schools art department.

This is a big deal in our area, and is well attended due to the extended holiday weekend. I am honored to be included with such well known artist, and anxious to get to work on some of the pieces that I have sketched out.

At any rate, this is the piece that I have designated to donate for the raffle...I hope that it is well accepted.
