A Chorus of Cats!

The latest litter of Lovecats! Last night was my second Marketing YOU 101 Workshop, and it was awesome!  A small group of all ladies, but they really learned alot.  That is always SO satisfying to me.  I can't wait to see what kinds of ideas from the workshop they put into place... At one time during the presentation, there was an outburst of a "Meow!"  So funny!  A lovecat was born!  So, I present to you the latest litter of Lovecats!  Thanks for being awesome students, ladies!  You inspire me!

Listening to the Legend

Those who have been in the gallery have heard my tunes spinning and they have most likely been my Michael Jackson tunes.  I have gotten more joy out of listening lately than I have in so long.  I've even been able to download some of his old music videos too--Smooth Criminal is amazing with his super-human dance moves.  Of course, I got the Thriller video--so ground breaking at the time.  Michael was an artist through and through.  I'll never forget discovering music in my early years, and it was "Off the Wall" album that really caught my ear, and it is still my favorite today!

And it all started with the Jackson 5.  Wow--I still know every word.  These still move me with amazing harmonies and great R&B rhythms.  Love it!  I hope that we can all remind ourselves of Michael as an artist more than a troubled man.  It's sad that he left us at such a young age with so much still to offer.  But perhaps he is in a much happier place.  I hope so.

And the winner is follower named "momx2"! Contact me to claim your spot! Do so ASAP or by 10am Wednesday! If I don't hear from you I'll draw another! Congratulations!

Thank you for all the birthday wishes, cards, etc. It was a wonderful 42nd birthday, and I'll look forward to having my twin sister arrive this week to celebrate one last time.  Have a great week!

Friday, June 26 a National Holiday!

Why?  It's my birthday!! Claire's too. The photo above was taken at our 40th birthday party--street party when we blocked off Market Street on our downtown square.  Fun!  We had a band, danced and had a great time.  I look forward to Claire coming in another week even though we'll miss being together ON our birthday.  Rest assured we'll celebrate when she arrives!

I am excited about 2 things that I have bought myself for my birthday already.
 I can't wait till they arrive!

This awesome trench from my favorite store J. Crew .  Found it on ebay while ago for less. ;)

Some R&F Pigment Sticks  to use for my encaustic painting.  I've waited to get some since they are pricey, and I've never worked with them before, but they look like the ultimate sensual painting experience!  Splurge.

On my wish list:

Black Chucks.  That would complete my materialistic wish list. ;)

Come by my studio and see me on Friday.  I plan to do what I wish all day!
