Wow, I can't believe it's the last day of September! Time is really flying by, I remember when I was younger and I would plead with the clock for time to go by faster. What happened between then and now that I am now pleading with the clock to go slower?
October is a busy month, beginning with a trip this weekend to see my friend & {sorority} big sister, Sue, in New York. I am so excited to see her! Usually when I'm up north anymore it's with Dan and I only get a small snippet of time with Sue. So finally we are having a girl's weekend! {Fun fact: Sue actually introduced me to Dan, she went to middle and high school with him}
We had planned to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge after watching the Tigers play, but of course the weather isn't supposed to be that great. I'm packing my galoshes in hopes that they will scare away the rain!

number 14
This past weekend I began work on my first item on my 28 to-do list; number 14 organize my studio.
My studio has always been in my apartment, beginning in the kitchen of my studio apartment, then moving to the 2nd bedroom of a 2 bedroom apartment, then the dining room of a 1 bedroom apartment, and now in the hallway of my 1 bedroom apartment. I am very unhappy with the location of my studio as I have no room and I end up spreading out to the dining room, kitchen and living room, much to Dan's dismay.
I thought the space issue would be over because Dan and I were moving out of our apartment at the end of September into a house. But alas the stars did not align and to save our sanity we chose to renew our lease for another 6 months. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel...my Dad offered to let me to set up my studio in an unused storage room at work.
So this past weekend I thought it was the perfect time to move because Dan was out of town for a bachelor party. {I am one of those annoyingly independent people who thinks they can do anything, including lifting heavy objects, with no help at all} I had hoped to be all settled into my new space by yesterday and as you can well imagine, not a one box is unpacked but things are starting to look a little promising...hopefully!

East Atlanta Strut
I have been burning the midnight oil preparing for my shows this fall. This past weekend was my second art festival, East Atlanta Strut.
As many of you have heard the rain has been awful in Atlanta; however, we pushed through 9 hours and had a pretty good day! A lot of great feedback and exposure!
Here is a collage of photos of my booth. {you can see my trooper of a boyfriend holding down the fort on the lower photo}
There was some entertainment? We also saw some Elvis impersonators, a woman walking on stilts, a garbage man {literally, a dude dressed up in moss and garbage}, and a lot of other interesting sights.
I also had a great surprise! I won the merit award!
