Hi Everyone…I just went back and read my post from January. Wanted to update you about the event in April.  I had sent three pieces of art for judging. I did not qualify for the event and just got word yesterday from the organizers. I felt as if it was a sign that I need to go forward with setting up my Etsy account. Slightly disappointed but was not crushed!! I always feel like when one door closes another one opens! So marching on toward a new path on my creative journey!

Thanks everyone for all the support!
