HAPPY 2007!

I hope you all had fun welcoming in the new year!!!

I am diabetic... so a little cold can put me down for days! thank you all so much for your well wishes, I did not get to party in 2007, but I am doing better :)

one of my goals for this year was to give my web site a overhaul... I no longer teach jewelry classes... so I closed down alot of pages and I need to clean it up, I have decided to use it as a place card to show case my art like so many do. My other art goals are to open a esty shop and get some of my art published and over hall my stuido and make it a more creative looking space, it just amazing to me how some artist can make there studio look like art and not a landslide of junk! my studio is organized and user friendly but I long for it to look inspirational, and its hard because I really lack wall space because I have really packed it in my odd shaped 12 x18 space :) oh how I long to have Sara Lechner's , amazing studio loft!

ok so all you girls that are going and sees this know what it means!

In Three short months I will be at artfest!!! with my best supper best friend Nancy Nelson and I want to know who I will get to meet! so please if you see this and will be attending, droop me a line and let me know :)
I put a count down to
artfest on my side bar and its really funny because the 28th of March is also my birthday so its really funny for a soon to be 41 year old to count the days before her birthday!


Teesha Moore did this and I just love the words! (artfest attendees got a stack of Teesha's art cards as a treat with our registration pack)

Tuesday I have:

Patricia Seggebruch

Friday:Anne Bagby

Saturday:Susan Lenart Kazmer

This is my first art retreat so I can not wait to be amazed and inspired :)
