Glitterfest Fall

Here and gone all in a blink of an eye.  Once again, there were so many AMAZING artists all in the same room, it was very inspiring.  What a great day, although a little hot and humid for this time of year, and of all the times for the A/C to malfunction, what do you do?

It was great to see familiar faces, as well as it was to make new friends!

Rena and Sara, I’m so glad you came all the way from Utah to experience Glitterfest.  All your license plate books and signs were AWESOME, not to mention the cool calendars, and fun key chains.  Can’t forget the boxes with the embossed copper and resin lids, I LOVE mine!! (and the key chain too) Denise, I’m looking forward to hooking up to use that scroll saw we talked about.  Your soldered houses were amazing!  Tara, I sent you a shot of you and your adorable daughter.  Love your work!  Andrea, loved the outfits you and your daughter wore, but you had to be so hot.  Michelle and Maija, always a pleasure, and thanks for being such good sports as we bumped each other through our small table aisle.

Many more artists I want to mention, I could go on...

A big “Thank You” to our hosts, Sheryl and Dianne for making it another sparkling even!!

Here are just a couple of shots.  I always think I take more photos then I actually do.  I guess I’m too busy ooh’ing and ahh’ing at all the eye candy that I forget to capture those special moments; I need to get better at that. (yes only three, I think someone else took some shots for me, I hope)

 And a special & sincere "Thank You" to ALL the wonderful people who bought  from me, I hope whatever you bought makes you as happy as it made my heart happy to create each piece, enjoy!  

Cheers, JoAnn

p.s. A big heartfelt "Thank You" to my friend, Cindy, who always is willing to help me! I couldn't do it without you :)

It's Almost Here

GLITTERFEST is just two days away can you believe. Where does the time go? I've been so busy getting ready, I don't know where September went.

Here is just a little peek of what's to come this Saturday.

This is the Life...

Ahhh…we should ALL take time to relax like this.   

On a walk the other morning, I saw these two cats hanging out looking like they didn't have a care in the world.  I had to capture the moment so I could remind myself, life is busy, but it’s good to stop and take a little time for ourselves.

A Little Tease...

STUDIO FAIRIES

What artist wouldn’t love their very own studio fairy?  I know I would.  With Glitterfest just around the corner (Oct. 2), I’m busy creating and can always use an extra hand or two.

Here are my wanna be studio fairies:

This is TC, he thinks he is helping, sitting on a stool consulting, but usually  he likes to walk all over my work space and plop right on top of all the stuff.. I’m sure some of you have a cat (or cats) that enjoy helping too, and they are.

This is Bentley, he just likes to keep me company, well actually he likes attention.  He thinks he is helping by just being cute!

If only we can use their paws as hands, hmmm…

Tale of Two Cities

HB US Open is happening this week.  It seems to get larger every year, it truly does look like a city within a city.  This was last weekend before ALL the people.  This weekend, will be another story.

Check it out...

 

Enjoy the weekend!
