Very Scary - The Schapelle Corby Story

Sometimes we forget that each decision and action in our lives, whether by choice or chance, takes us on very specific paths in our life journey. Sometimes we don't know the outcome for decades, if ever, but sometimes the results are hard, fast and vivid.

When you see what has happened to this poor girl it will probably terrify you, like it has me. What started out as a great vacation, ends up being the nightmare to end all nightmares.

I WON!

Remember I told you a few postings ago that I had two pictures juried into the 2008 Orange County Fair?

Well, yesterday I was lucky enought to get a phone call from a very nice lady from the Visual Arts Department telling me I had won FIRST PLACE!

Whoo-hoo!

I'm not sure which of my entries won (she didn't know either), but I'll find out on Monday and you'll be the second to know, after me!

It's one of these two...






I'M...SOOO....HAPPY!!!!

:-D

July News...

HAPPY JULY, EVERYONE!

I hope you all have lots of fun plans coming up, including the many art walks and street fairs in the area.

June was a wonderful month for me, with great sales and meeting some really nice people. The new coordinator of the Village Art Fair in San Clemente is an absolute "dream" to work with, and, as always, the ladies of the Newport Beach Arts Foundation put on a great Art in the Park. I feel very fortunate to be able to work with these fine people.

JUNE WINNERS

Congrats to

CINNAMON STANLOW
of Cinnamon Jewelry

She was the 10,000th hit on my blog and won a print of her choice from my website. She chose this one:



ANNIE GATES, DOMINIC GALPIN and ANNE COLEMAN

for winning this month's drawing for a gallery print of MOM'S MOTEL



JULY GIVEAWAY

In honor of meeting a SUPER nice lady named Sandy Miller, who is the new owner of my large canvas of Tower Window, July's print giveaway will be for a print of Tower Window!



If you'd like to be entered in my monthly drawings, and have not signed my official guestbook at an event, simply leave a comment or send me an email and you'll be entered!

Good luck, everyone!

Remember, to purchase any of my work simply contact me by email or phone, and we'll work together to create something you'll love and be proud to display in your home or office.

NO RISK!

Last, but not least, ask me about NO FEE commission work! Ever wanted a particular piece of photographic art, but never quite found what you were looking for? I take the risk out of commissioning custom imaging. ~ Ask me how ~

That's it for this month. I hope to see you at one of my July events. Make sure you come up and say hi!

Memento Vivere!
