BUSY BUSY BUSY!!

Wow!! This whole entire week has been one cyclonic blur!! Did you miss me? Besides having to keep Petey the Wonderdog inside all week-and listening to his constant whining (which has driven me to the brink of murderous insanity), we have been on the road.

Friday night I did an out of town show. It was FABULOUS!! Very short, and VERY financially SWEET!! We drove 3 hours to get there, set up, sold for 4 hours, and drove 3 hours home. The show was GREAT!! I loved the people, and one woman actually SQUEALED when I told her that I was published in ART JOURNALING..LOL..that was quite funny, in a cute way!! We had a blast! I also booked a class for May to teach art journaling. That was cool! We did run into a little problem--they placed me in a regular's spot, and when the regular showed up--well..he pitched a little fit. Little fits don't bother me..I had an email on hand stating where I was suppose to set up, so -- not my problem! I cannot wait to go back there though!! The dominoes actually sold like hotcakes, so..I do have to restock those this week!!

Then on Saturday morning, after about 4 hours sleep, we went to our local town's little trade day/flea market--but after trying to function for about an hour--we closed up shop and went home. I didn't even want to deal with it.

Sunday morning, we had to go back out of town to a NEW VENDOR meeting. The art market that I had applied for--is HUGE. It's held every Sunday, and they said that a bad day is 5,000 people. Can you Imagine??? OMG..It's going to ROCK!! I cannot wait until it starts. I didn't know if I had been juried in or not, but we were required to go to the meeting "just in case"..while I was there, the woman told me that I had been approved!! WHOOOHOOOOO!! I am so, so, so excited!!!

Monday morning, I got up and hit the road again..this time only to buy groceries, and things we will need for the artist market. I am having to do a full display tent, even though the market is indoors, they will still let us put our tent inside--so, I have been working out a very colorful, very appealing decor for it. It's going to look great (hopefully!!). This meant buying new display stands, sides for the tent (I got the most beautiful gauzy curtains--in hot pink, turquoise, yellow and lime green for the sides), new tablecloths, etc..plus, I am having to make tags to hang on everything..I will take a ton of pics at the first show!!

Then yesterday--I left the house in search of a new vehicle..LOL..I am thinking either a Honda Element, or a Ford Flex..but the Flex's are so new, that there are no "previously owned" ones yet. I am absolutely IN LOVE with them though..(not too keen on owning a FORD, but Nature Boy seems excited about it..LOL), my other option will be a van (yuck!), but we have to have a practical vehicle if we are going to be lugging tents, metal walls, and artwork all over the place.

Today, I am going to sit down, and figure out what shows I want to do. I can do that now, that I am committed to the artist market, and know what days are free this year..and then, I am going to work. I need to stay in the studio all week...LOL..that's about it...Live Artfully!! ~~Suzan~~
