McMinnville Art and Wine Walk


Well, it is a little bit after the fact, however I still wanted to write about it since the two weeks leading up to the event were too hectic for me to take time out and post an announcement here, so here goes...I had a jewelry showing at McMenamin's Hotel Oregon in McMinnville, Oregon on September 15th, 2007 during their McMinnville Art and Wine Walk. I shared McMenamin's space with three friends and their work. My friend summer showed some of her watercolor paintings, my mother showed some of her specialty herbal heating/cooling packs, my friend Tara and I showed some of the scrapbook style cards we make and sell under the name "Girlfriends Studio", and a local musical artist played acoustical guitar during the first half of the day. There was a smaller than normal crowd, according to the Hotel Oregon's Event Coordinator, however we received some nice compliments and enjoyed the day together. I wasn't expecting much, since I only had 2 weeks to prepare for the show and had only a small number of items prepared for the showing, so just enjoyed the day. I have been asked to have a private showing there in a couple of months and hope to have a larger stock of items to sell by then.

Gabe and Lily were enjoying a peaceful moment watching cousin playing on the X-Box. Notice how close Lily is keeping her green ball?
Uncle Scott bought Lily a squeeky, green, knobby ball, a package of tiny squeeky tennis balls, and a little fuzzy stuffed animal this last Sunday at Pet Smart because of course Lily stole his heart. I was a little worried she would never play with them since her foster mom said she really didn't play with her toys at her house; however no fears. The little green, knobby ball is the toy de la journée. If she hears the little squeek anywhere in the house, she jumps up running for her special toy, and believe me when I tell you she knows which toy was squeeking and only runs like that for the green knobby ball. Uncle Scott done good. Last night, G kept sqeazing Lily's green ball and then throwing it for her when she would come running. She decided she was done, so she ran in there, chased her green ball down, grabbed it and then came and burrowed into her bed with it. After she was all tucked in with her ball, she looked up at me with a look that seemed to say: "My bal...

A work in progress....

Sometimes I have too much "get up and go" in me. Which basically means I have these amazingly AD/HD moments that completely baffle everyone in my life. I am a person who can not create or think when surrounded by chaos. I have to clean my studio area before I can work; have to have all my supplies organized or I can't find anything; easily lose things in piles; and am easily sucked into reorganizing if a system is not working for me and I am feeling overwhelmed by the mess of it. Trying to set up a simple blog has proven to be one of those ongoing AD/HD moments for me. I started out right by setting up my original blog using my jelainedesigns igoogle account, however when google bought blogger, I somehow messed up the log-in/account switch-over process and assigned the blog to my personal igoogle account instead of my jelainedesigns one. Blogger would not allow me to transfer them to a different email/igoogle account, and I couldn't just shut them down and reopen...
