Hey good friends....If you don't see me around for a bit...don't think I have abandoned ship.... My life is taking me in a new and exciting direction....I have rented space in what is rapidly becoming an "artist's alley" in an older mall that is being rennovated. I will have a studio/gallery there....nice thing is it's not set up like a retail mall...we are all our own bosses and can keep our own hours.....neat people....and I am really excited.
Since I sort of jumped into it (one prime spot was offered on a take it or leave it basis)...without much planning....I am going to be pretty busy as they would like to do some sort of formal opening in March.
For those of you who dont know...besides raising a daughter with DS...I am also an artist...working mainly in acrylics.....sort of my fourth career...after being an OT..Mommy....and Retailer (had a childrens clothing store for many years...Duck Duck Goose).
So....I can't spend nearly as much PC time for a while if I am going to get this finished.
You will like the name I use....I will be THE RUBBER CHICKEN GALLERY....long story about the name and I will tell you sometime.
Needless to say....my paintings are brite and cheery...cuz I LOVE to paint.
Jackie

Best of luck on your new venture Jackie!!! Wishing you much success!
Too funny how you learned of grandbaby#5!!! What is it with kids and the phrase "doo-doo head" anyway? That's all I heard yesterday while my friend's 3yr old son was here!!!

Well I moved part way in today...and what do you suppose there is across from me??? In the middle of all these sculptors and artists...there is one lone....belly dancer!!!!!!
Neat thing too cuz Emily is going to a gala put on by Norines non profit as a fund raiser in two weeks and is having trouble coming up with a mardi gras costume.
Her first choice of course was Elton John...but the web is a bit short on Elton costume resources...so now they are trying to convince her to be a fortune telling gypsy....so...I have costume resources at hand now that she would probably ..die for....wonderful belt scarves with coins that make ever so much noise!!!!...anklets...bracelets...LOL...but true to fashion ...it will be her own choice what to go as...but crossing my fingers here that she goes this direction.
