November!

Harvest
So many wonderful things happen in November.  I feel as if the season has really shifted into winter's mode. This month I will start prepping for the holidays in earnest! In the work arena I have several paintings promised before turkey day; work on a collection of purses made from re-claimed materials with my business "Green Thimble," cards to make, paintings to mat and frame for our holiday market... I'll post some pics to give you a couple of sneak previews but once I start making the purses you may want to lay claim right away.  They are one of a kind and I already have an order for a Beverly Hills boutique that wants to carry them.

In the meantime I'm off to continue prepping for my Turkey Trot.  My kids and I run in the Camarillo event every year as part of our Thanksgiving tradition.  It keeps me focused on something besides food and we have a blast.  Laura can legally drink mimosas this year so that will add to the festivities.  She thinks so anyway.

I also have a couple of special Saturday events in the works at the Studio.  There is a Yupo workshop Saturday, November 19 from 9-1 and I'll have an afternoon Kid's Craft Day on Saturday, December 10 from 1-5.

Time to focus...wish me luck!
