Beloved Blog

Dear friends.

 It looks like Wednesdays are becoming my blog day. I kind of like this idea. Wednesdays are one of my least favorite days. Mid week, two days left till the weekend. two whole days. This gives me something to look forward to on this ho hum day. For now I think I will only blog once a week. It gives me 7 days to come up with something to write about. It's sort of like homework, but way more fun. 

First off I must recount this past Saturday which will be called art day. I was joined by my good friend Shelley and her to-be-born baby Jones. We started with Starbucks of course. I trust everyone has had their first Gingerbread... i mean gingersnap Latte (what's with this! Why change a perfectly good name?). 

The ACAD art show and sale was our first stop. I think this is becoming a tradition for us. If you've never been it's a put on by the 3rd and 4th year students and is a great opportunity to see/buy some great local art. Next was the Market Collective - an independent artist market. It was inspiring to say the least. Young people like you and me, following their dreams, creating beautiful pieces. I was lucky enough to find something for myself and a few Christmas gifts as well. The last stop the Art Central and The Siding Cafe. Perfect ending.

This day was exactly what I needed. The reassuring "you can do this". One day I will be there too. Sitting with fellow artists showing my work, hoping someone else likes it too. 

Now to my progress. The camera hunt is on going and mostly in the research stage. I think I know what I want, but I'm checking out other options just incase. 

I've waitlisted myself for a photo class in January; if that doesn't work out I'll get in the spring session. 

Photoshop is a daunting and interesting adventure all on it's own, but I'm learning. I've posted a few of my experiments. 

I think that's about it. Have a great week. 

*heart* you. 

ps. over 10 dollars has been donated to the camera fund! :)
