I can not tell you how disappointed I am that they will not be in Chicago! I guess I’ll have to wait 100 more years for them to be close enough for me to afford to go, bummer and double bummer…

How I did it
It made me
glad 
How I did it: There are 2 cupcakes in the pic- but I painted 4 cupcakes! Here are the step: Stretch a canvas, gesso, look at your cupcakes, study the cupcakes, draw them, paint an underpainting, eat some cupcakes, paint over the underpainting, work your background, eat some more cupcakes, stand back and look at what you have so far, paint some more, eat some more, keep repeating the last 2 steps until complete!

It made me
thrilled!
How I did it: One of the things I did this summer was purchase better walls for my booth. It looks great now! and it's much easier to use. I did a solo exhibit at the Ann Arbor Art Fair in Michigan- which is very high traffic. 500,000 people attend. I also exhibited in a museum with my daughter (sculptor), and put more work on my blog.

It made me
blessed
How I did it: I got started on Facebook. After I put in my maiden name some people started finding me, and I found some people! I've reconnected with people I haven't seen for 30 years. What a blessing! Read how I did it…
