I don't know if I can keep it up for 365 days, but I love just listing out a few right now:
space: the new space in my home created from getting a new office (outside the home), and selling my old dining table & chairs (which I will replace with a new more compact set)
Wow, the whole "small" part of that was harder than I thought.
Today I'm loving feeling organized and accomplished. I'm doing a bit of spring cleaning & it feels like I'm making a new start in this new year. A year that I know has a lot of really exciting things in store. :)
"Religion is far more of a choice than homo sexuality."
"We protect religion...and talk about a lifestyle choice. At what age did you decide to not be gay?"
"Semantics is cold comfort when it comes to humanity."
"I think you're looking at sexuality and not attributes, and I think it's odd because the conservative mantra is "Ameritocracy", and I think what you're suggesting is, the fact of being gay parents makes you not as good as others. And I would suggest that a loving gay family, with a financially secure background, beats the hell out of Britney Spears & Kevin Federline any day of the week."
For thos of you in LA, Ali & I are driving down to participate in UNIQUE LOS ANGELES!
It's going to be an awesome show, so if you're in or around LA, I'd love it if you'd come by & say hello to us!
Also, I have a few wristbands for friends I need to give out, so we may meet people out for drinks tonight or tomorrow night. Text me if you want to get in on that & nab a wristband from me... it's my intention to pass them all out & have every one of you come to the show & support all of us independent artists!
Here's deets on the actual event (Facebook event link). Can you all post this to your profile or email it to LA peeps?
Thanks to all of you in & around Chicago that came out to the Renegade Holiday Craft Fair - what an event! Five (!) rooms full of incredibly creative, crafty fabulousness... huzzah!
Sarah was quite possibly the most hospitable, generous, warm, fun & darling hostess with the mostess a girl could ask for! I felt so incredibly welcome, supported & comfortable the entire time. Seriously, I can only hope that I am this great of a host for my guests. She's awesome!
And, I love that her home was so full of the holiday spirit!
Do you live in or near Chicago... or have friends & family in that area? Well, give them the heads up, this weekend is Chicago's Renegade Holiday Craft Fair! Held in the Pulaski Park Fieldhouse both days this weekend, Dec. 6 & 7, and I'll be there (my table is on the 2nd floor, FYI) with all my WilloToons merch!
This is my first time traveling to a show! I'm very excited, but because it changes a lot of what I usually bring, it should be interesting. I'm also delighted I get to stay with my awesome friend Sarah Hatter, who apparently is already planning to make us delicious omelets for breakfast & a yummy chili (hi bed & breakfast fabulousness), AND who is going to help me at my table over the weekend. yay! love her.
I'm a little nervous about the weather, but I'm confident that my warm new jacket from my brother's store, Om Gallery will keep me warm. Well, that and Sarah said homes there are actually insulated & have good heating systems. huzzah! So maybe I won't die from the freezing cold. Ooh, and total bonus, she has a snuggly kitty named Cooper, too! You know me, add a snuggly kitty to the mix & I'm happy. :)
Ok, gotta go finish cleaning & packing. Remember, if you can't make it to this event in Chicago, be sure to listen for when there's a similar type show near you so you can buy unique & affordable holiday gifts from independent artists. Actually, I'll be traveling to LA the following weekend (which will be a welcome change in temp!), so maybe I'll see you there! Click here to see all my upcoming events.
