Hello All,
I picked up my 2 paintings from our art showing. We had 17 artists, 33 paintings and not ONE painting sold! I know the venue wasn't a good one; It was in a building that is used for music lessons and people don't just walk in there unless they have a reason. I feel bad for the other ladies. I just do this for fun, but some of them have been painting for many years and are really good! Next time they are looking into a local coffee shop. I am going to try to attach a pic so you can see one of my paintings.

We have COLD weather, but didn't get the 2 feet of snow everyone else on the east coast did. Sorry you guys! Hope you are digging out OK!

Busy week ahead, I have 5 phone appointments tomorrow with my Reliv business -- it should be fun!

Oh! And I bought a hoop -- I had a guest hooping teacher come into my aerobic class -- we had a blast! So I'm promising myself to do this for 10 minutes a day; (maybe my waist will show up again?)!!

Have a good week, girls!

I've heard others say that that sort of business slows after Christmas, so perhaps that's the case.

You do wonderful work. I'm so sorry not one painting sold. Sad to say the artist suffer greatly

Well, I did get a chuckle out of your klutz remark...FYI these hoops are bigger and weighted which actually makes them easier to use than the kid ones!

Got through all my appointments except one, it's actually fun, and they were all on the phone, so I'm baking pumpkin bread in between, and doing laundry!

You bought a hoop? As in "hula hoop"?! I was never able to correctly maneuver one of them things as a kid!! I'd kill myself trying now!!!!


I really like your painting, ladybug! You are talented!! Too bad the venue was not more amenable to the painting show & sale.

Thanks! I think the other artists took it all in stride. Next time we'll have a better venue.

Hooping -- well, it's not as hard as the kids hoops, these are weighted, although I've not found it as much fun by myself as I did with the class. So I'm going for 10 minutes a day to see if it actually helps the waistline. I don't have much hope for it, though. I don't even break a sweat. I think if I could get the TV downstairs, that might keep my "hooping" a little longer!
