k. i'm back

again, thanks for your emails kicking me in the butt to update!!

no art -BUT, i have pics to share. new headshot as well an overexposed shot with champ!the INSPIRED event was a bittersweet trip for me. AMAZING event, and donna put on one heck of a gig! here's me and my friend christiane who came down from seattle. there was a lot of color wash going on, and we all were wearing it!   fun.the bittersweet part of it was that the night before i was flying to n.carolina, i get a call from the hospital telling me that my grandmother was very ill, and not doing well at all. decisions......  damn. i have the most amazing bro who told me that he'd be there with her and i needed to go and fulfill my commitment. he was, and i did. the amazing part about it all was the support and concern of so many amazing women. i honestly want to say THANK YOU and i love you all for being so understanding and compassionate. seriously, you ladies who kept coming in to see how i was doing and give me a hug make me cry still. thank you. i made the right decision to go. i forgot to mention my flight issues...  as soon as my 1-day delayed flight got me here, i went straight from the airport and dove into the 'middle' of my class that had started almost an hour earlier! but it was all good. after my first day i went straight to my room, got into a hot shower, called room service and spent the rest of the eve talking to my friend @ home. basically that was the case both nights! back to the airport for my 815am flight sunday. the update is that my grandmother is improving, and will hopefully recover fully. she's MY #1 life inspiration,always there for me, and she's a scrapper like me (in life, not in art), for sure!

so here's some pics sent to me, a couple i took of "inspired elements" fab gifts that i LOVE. not only because they're so dang cool, but because of the thought. TY, again!!   

i'm craving art now! craving and need it

along with everything else going on recently..  PROM. here's some pics of Eth, his buddies and their dates. Eth's date is a good friend of his who is a statistician for the wrestling team. 

  have a fab rest of the week(end).

So glad your grandma is doing better. A highlight of last weekend was sitting in the airport and talking with you. I'm so not a celebrity following type, and you were so down to earth and real that I just loved it!!
