I finally had a chance to sit down and upload photos from the event...and here they are!
Again, thanks to all my wonderful family/friends for their support and everyone for their kind words and encouragement. I look forward to another great year at Artomatic.
Current Projects
I'm working on creating a few new watercolor pieces. I got a new watercolor paint set for Christmas and am very excited to use it 
I also have a few photography project ideas lined up that I'm looking forward to do...and also have a few sewing projects in mind and also am trying to get back to my piano-playing and continue teaching myself how to play the guitar. 
Hmm..in other news, I am enjoying this little snow storm we're having--Minus the bad driving conditions on the roads for everyone and some plans getting canceled. I took this picture around 3 AM when we had about 6 inches. We're now onto about 10 inches by now (it's 7 AM)...And I heard the snow is going to be even heavier tomorrow. We're expecting 15+ inches
The snow looks beautiful
Can't wait to trudge around in it tomorrow when I shovel (and possibly attempt at making a snowman)
I'm going to Vietnam in January to visit my grandparents! I can't wait to see them again. It'll be very busy before then, so most of my projects will probably have to wait until I get back. I will probably bring my "nicer" camera this time so I can take some good photos of my visit. My stay will be for two weeks at my grandpa's sister's temple in Hoc Mong, not too far from Saigon.
Last, but not least...my wonderful friend, Sheela recently went to China to teach. It's something she's been wanting to do for a while, so I'm very happy for her. Before she left, she showed me some of her artwork and gave me some very sweet and thoughtful gifts, some from her trip to India.
One of her gifts was a sari, which I attempted to try on first thing when I got home. I promised her I would take a picture for her once I figured out how to wear it correctly
And here it is!
Best of luck to you, Sheela! I hope you enjoy your experience in China
You are missed.
