A couple quick updates for you all my loves!

Last May I won third place in a local art show by Olive Tree Arts, it was my creation piece that won.

I just recently sold two of my pieces, the oranges still life and the goldfish abstract, for a total of $400!!! I was so excited to give them a nice new home, and not to mention making a pretty penny off of my hard work.

And the other big one is that today is my first day in England. That is right, I am in England. For the fall semester I will be studying abroad here in Grantham. I also plan to travel around Europe as much as possible. So be expecting a lot more deviations in the photography category. I was unable to pack my paints, so I will at least be doing some drawing while I am up here. Though I am hoping that perhaps I can find a local art store and buy some supplies for cheap....that would be awesome.

Anyway, thanks!

I am so glad the semester is over. Its been long and stressful. Hopefully sometime soon I will post pictures of what I've done throughout my metals and jewelry making class. I am very excited about my painting class that I will be taking next semester.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Well school starts tomorrow, and I've got mixed feeling about it. I'm ready for it to start, but I'm kinda nervous about going to a new school this semester. I'm certain that once I grow accustomed to UE I'll be fine.....but I'll admit, when a bunch of my friends left to go back to Ball State...I was a little sad not to be going back with them.

Anyway, I have an interesting schedule packed for this semester. I will be taking Introduction to Art Therapy, Abnormal Psychology, Metalwork and Jewelry making, Spanish, and Introduction to Music. Lucky me, I have no classes on Friday, but I do have my first night class which is on Monday nights.

I'm looking forward to most of my classes. Wish me luck on my first college level 3D class. OH! And I will be actively looking into traveling abroad sometime soon. I've always wanted to do it, and I'm gonna try my hardest to make it happen.

As to my friends, many wishes of luck to you and your studies.

Peace!

Hello all, I hope you are all doing well.

Things have been a bit crazy for me in good 'ole Indiana. My car broke down a little while ago, it was a pain, but it eventually got fixed. I've been trying to get all the little things done to get transferred alright to UE. My sister got hospitalized the other day...that was a fun one (needless to say the most of this week has been spent in Terre Haute trying to take care of my sister). A few other things have been going on.....no need to go into those now

I haven't done much post worthy art as of late...just some doodles here and there mostly. I'm hoping to get some painting done soon. I haven't done that in ages. I have however read a vast number of books so far this summer. If you need a good book to read I could point out a few goods ones that I've stumbled on as of late. (Sorry Des, I've been sticking to Red Bank thus far I'll try to get out to Central and visit!)

For those that care, I finally have all my birthday plans all smoothed out. If you want to join in the festivities just let me know and I will gladly fill you in! Eden...you're coming to E'ville for my bday I haven't seen you in too long, I miss you!

I hope you all have a spectacular Independence Day! (don't forget about our boys overseas.)

P.S. Abs I miss you terribly!! peanut butter?

It is official, I am done with this semester of school and back in my hometown. It has been one crazy semester and I cannot say that I will be missing it. It was indeed my last semester at Ball State University, I am transferring to University of Evansville for their pre-art therapy program (which I am very excited about by the way).

I'm looking forward to a good summer, hopefully a vacation somewhere in there, I am a bit burnt out at the moment I hope that everyone has a good summer!

Much
