Last night was First Friday at the gallery. That is the night where all the galleries stay open late and roll out the red carpet for the thousands of people who cruise the streets look at all kinds of Art.

Yesterday I hung 3 pictures in the gallery and it was fun to be a fly on the wall and listen in on conversations about my artwork. I was nervous I would hear some rough criticism but everything I heard was pretty positive!

The highlight of the night was when a woman approached me and said she could not afford to buy a print, but she wanted to buy my cards and got teary eyed as she asked to autograph them. I got so excited I got teary eyed too!It was such a compliment and I feel so grateful to be able share my stuff with people and actually have them like it! Its very fulfilling!

Halloween!

We had such a fantastic Halloween. Sloane was dressed as a "princess ballet witch" and I was Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas, and unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of my costume, but I got some great images of Sloane! We worked really hard and had a lot of fun the night before making goodies for the party. Check out our little marshmallow witches and goblin cake! Angie decked her house out it all sorts of decorations and we have decided to make it a yearly tradition to have a party for the kids and adults alike!

Sloane has a new name she likes to call herself now too. Its Princess Ariel Daphne of Genovia. It beats the heck out of the name I tried to rename myself to in the 3rd grade; Shimmeree. I thought that was the perfect name until I had to practice writing it in cursive, there were just way too many m's!
