2011 MN State Fair Fine Arts Competition

The online applications open up on April 1st.  I'm going to submit a dried flower piece this year, instead of a photograph.  It was so exciting for me to be accepted last year and I hope I can make it in again this year!
I'm creating a piece in memory of my godmother, Phyllis.  It's going to be a piece, 24 x 36 and will name it, " My Godmother's Garden"

Anoka Riverfest - Hope I get in!

I sent in my application and paperwork to the Anoka Chamber of Commerce this week.  In hopes that I'm accepted to exhibit in their art fair on July 9th.    Wish me luck!  :)

Making a Custom Wedding Gift for the Bride & Groom

Our friends, Jenna and Ryan, are getting married tomorrow on 01/01/11.  They picked a special date to get married, so I thought I'd make a special customized wedding gift for them!
