Dumb Diary Wednesdays Begin Next Week!

Hello! 

Not sure what I was thinking...of course I wouldn't have time to do a Dumb Diary Wednesday yesterday!  I'm still getting ready for the show and the bulk of the work needed to be done.  For those of you who may be disappointed, I'm sorry and it will be kicked off next Wednesday for sure!  If you haven't read the entry of the "Bright Side of Doom", let that be the Dumb Diary Wednesday story to give you a laugh.  :)

So yeah, getting ready for the show.  This show I'm not as high strung.  I'm getting more used to showing my work now and what I need to take.  Things will work out, they always do, and I'm not going to stress out when everything is getting done on time. 

But of course, with that said, I still have things to accomplish!  I'm going through mental list...Go to the hardware store for a few more supplies that I ran out of last night (more cable and crimps), buy some safety pins, get myself ready and the car packed.  This is some EXCITING STUFF! hahaha!

Cheers to a great night for the artists and guests of RAW:PDX!!

Looking Ahead

There is a gallery show coming up in Ohio that is all about Money- “The Good, The Bad, The Money”. I found it on www.artshow.com (what a great site!). Anyway, I couldn’t be more excited about the theme! I am going to gather my packet to send for the show this week. This will mark only the second time in my life that I have sent away to submit my work to a show. The last time was back in college and I submitted a couple of prints due to the nudge of one of my mentors. I was happy to submit my work, but unfortunately, it did not get into the show. REJECTED stamped all across the letter. At the time, I was just happy to have submitted my work. The rejection letter was smiled at, joked about, and thrown out without any big negative impact on me.

Hopefully this time will be different! I have optimism! I feel ready for this now, and it’s just what I have been wanting to do. I need to take chances, and it’s time to jump in. The deadline is in about 10 days. Cheers to revisions, good paper, burning the two images to a CD/DVD, and confusion along the way! Cheers to it all!
