May #ARTifact - Sunshine reveal

May was a very busy month with the Bearfootin' Bear reveal held downtown. The weather was lovely and lots of people showed up for the annual event. If you want to see all the pictures leading up to the reveal I've posted the video I made of it. I'll add the summer and auction pictures to it later on after it's all over.

My #Artifact page in my TP booklet 😘

The cover is from a stenciled paper using the StencilGirl club stencil from April. If you look closely you will that it's the ACTUAL stencil...I really messed up destroyed my stencil, but I'll talk about that another day, sigh.

On my inner tag ( and no, my typing has NOT improved ) I glued a picture of "Sunshine" that I cut out from the brochures that they print out to hand out to the tourist or well, anyone who wants to locate them all on the sidewalks along the store fronts.

oops...too busy to blog?

I just realized it's been over 3 weeks since I last posted. It was a mad push and lots of parties to get the Bearfootin' Bear completed. And then afterward I just relaxed and relaxed, it was wonderful.

So here's a recap of this month 👀

First thing was giving away a piece of my art to Alta Davis. She won it during a small contest I ran after the Artscape art show was over.

 And yes, I am back to being in a booth now, and thank you Jamie for helping me to hang the lights!

It's so nice to have young friends 💙

I discovered a new tea house called A Southern Cup of Tea which a group of my girlfriends met for an "afternoon tea". It was delightful and I need to go back soon!

My friend Jamie wanted to visit Malaprops bookstore in Asheville. It's not often you can go to a bookstore, get tea and scones or a glass of wine! While she explored I sat and ate and sketched.

Then, of course, came the big Bearfootin' Bear reveal... 

Then came the rain, lots of rain, so I spent my time indoors playing with some new StencilGirl stencils ( I can't tell you about them yet, they won't be revealed until July!) and making an ATC for the Grumbacher trade. The theme is voyage this month.

The rest of the time I spent Netflix binging and drinking tea on my porch reading.

Yes, life has been good to me but it's been great to just sit back and chill.
