Ok, so haven't posted in a while because there was something up with my computer and it wouldn't recognize my camera. So after an hour of trying this and trying that, I figured another way to get my pics downloaded onto my machine. Yay me!

Some of you know that I was laid off from my job at the beginning of September. Luckily, they kept me on part time. It pays the rent. I'm also working part time as a Personal Assistant to a local writer. As a hobby, she is an artist, so I accompanied her to an Art Show Reception, where both of the pieces she entered won 1st places, with her watercolor winning Best in Show runner up. It was a great experience for me. I was able to network, help her and see some great works of art by Senior (55+) local artists. Course, the great food was a bonus!

Minime never ceases to amaze me. I went to her open house and discovered how phenomenally artistic she is! Her poetry is beyond her years, her stories, while not developed are rich in ideas and imagination, and her painting...I was very impressed. I am working on a Mother/Daughter story with her and am thinking about setting her up with her own dA account.

I'm looking at local shows and contests I might enter, wish I could find a listing, because I'm not finding anything that is open for entry currently, or in the near future. I have decided to enter my Champagne People into the Del Mar Faire next year, in the recycled art category. I still have 2 more Champagne bottle tops, but cannot decide what I want to do with them. I'm hoping with the holidays coming up that I'll get donations of more tops to use, and the influx of supplies will loosen my gears of creation.

So, there are lots of new postings, as well as a new AV and Lit Tag. Enjoy!
So, back to posting...
