I had no idea what to expect as this was the first time I have been part of a studio tour. I was crazy busy getting ready for it, but now I have slowed down and am enjoying the beautiful fall. One of the reasons I signed up was to give myself a kick in the butt to get back to my artwork after a couple of years hiatus...it worked. Met some wonderful people-fellow artists, visitors; got good feedback, and also tips on where to get more materials.

I am now thinking about next steps, but have decided that my artwork will be a main focus in my life over this next year. I have started collecting stuff; someone even returned on the second weekend of the studio tour with a box full of electronic junk for me.

Thanks to Wally and my wonderful friends who helped out. You made a big difference; the event would not have been the same without you!!
