Recently I met with a woman who is a life coach.  She asked me what I wanted to see happen with my art by the end of this year.
One of my answers was to get my work out to the public.  I think that's a pretty common wish for artists.  I can't imagine wanting your creativity to stay inside - either yourself and/or your home or studio.
She just happened to be having a holiday Open House at her home and it's this coming Sat., 12/1. 
I will be using her home as my gallery.  What a lovely offer and I am looking forward to not only having a good time but to hopefully selling my work.
Getting ready for any event where your work is to be shown is a lot more involved than many people might think (or maybe they do think and I'm just amazed).  I've been there before, but this time I need to add a few more things to the mix.

| Prints ready for cutting and more on the way | 
Between taking photos of my paintings, ordering prints and folders to hold them, stickers, painting, making order forms and purchasing a thingamajig to take credit cards that I attach to my iPhone-I should be ready - oh, and I'm supposed to take that favorite holiday dish I always make (but there isn't one-what to do?!-)!
