So finally I will post about Chattanooga Artists Reserve. I believe we had a fabulous turnout for the 1st time ever. Beth & I were very excited about the turnout - the set up and just the overall feeling we had this day.
Everything went well - besides a crazy rainstorm at around 5 o'clock. Nothing got hurt - thank God - and I believe everyone enjoyed themselves.
Looking forward to the next one - which we hope to do in a public places so we can invite WAY more people.
Thanks to everyone who came and to all the artists that participated - and to Beth & Rich for allowing us to take over your home!!! Until next time...XOXO
Here are a few photos - and a link to the photo album here.

The rules are as follows:
Type the answers to the following questions into Flickr search.
Using only the first page, pick one image.
Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fds mosaic maker.

Blue Skies
So yesterday I FINALLY got to Blue Skies to check out my work...and I was that nerd that stood and took pictures of my work on display. I couldn't help myself - and I love as the girl unlocked the case she said "yeah we sold like 5 pieces of yours today" - I just smiled :) and my heart fluttered on the inside :)
For those of you who live in Chattanooga - you can find Blue Skies at:
Blue Skies
30 Frazier Ave (in the northshore)
Chattanooga, TN 37405
(423) 266-8010
So here a few pics I took - my display of barrettes and cuffs - and then my blanket on display - and ironically that is not my mannequin even though I use the exact one in my displays - SMALL WORLD!
And for a sicky update - my test came back negative for gallstones or the bacteria - which is good news. Now I just take some meds for 2 weeks...then go back to see what is going on. Keep me in your thoughts - my anxiety over it is DEFINITELY better...but still wonder what it could be! XOOX

I think I feel a little better....
atleast I finally got to go to the doctor - and that set my mind at ease...a little :)
So they think I have gallstones - or a bacteria of some sort (something my husband and I thought it might be after many hours of self diagnosing on the internet :) ). So they did some blood work and hopefully I will find out soon what the results are.
Anyway - just wanted you guys to know if you were worried about little ole me. Now I just want to feel better!
Trying to get back in the swing of things...
