Gratitude

Today's post is mostly graphic in nature.  Just a look back at a few of my proud moments in 2011.

In 2010 I decided that i wanted to be in some of the larger art and craft shows in the city.  Looking back i am proud to say that i have indeed participated in a handful of wonderful shows!

One of a Kind Show 2011

Me at the Handmade Marketplace, making buttons!
It started off with the Spring One of a Kind show, and then i went on to Handmade Market in Niagara which i LOVED!  The summer found me at Cabbagetown Arts and Crafts, Mini Crafternoon Tea,  Queen West Arts Crawl and the Xmas One of a Kind Show.  I hope to continue to spend much of my time creating work and taking it to art shows across Ontario, perhaps focussing on ones outside of Toronto.

I had great fun doing Make and Trade Art Cards sessions at Wise Daughters.

In February, I spent one week at the Artist Educators Intensive at Canadian Stage which was really great return to the world of art education and theatre after Max was born.

Aside from Art, I spent some great times with my little lovely family! Max grew from a wee baby to a big toddler and i feel blessed by such a wonder in my life.

And the biggest thing that happened in 2012 is that we sold our house in Toronto in order to relocate to Hamilton, a smaller city just 45 minutes west of here.  It's a scary move, but the possibilities in Hamilton are exciting alongside a great art scene, more green space, a welcoming community and some seriously great bakeries!

Our house sold in two days!
Tomorrow i will write about some of the exciting plans for this new year, but for now, it's time to pack and get rid of this bad cold that i have! Chicken Soup and Tea all day for me!

I would love to hear about your successes in the past year! Either share them here on the comments section, or link to your blog!
