Doing Happy Dance!

Well, my inlaws are on their way back to AZ, but that is NOT why I'm doing a happy dance . I am going to be the "Official" Photographer for the Great Lakes Lighthouse Festival Oct. 7-11th in Alpena, Michigan! Last year I did a bit of a photography gig for the Great Lakes Lighthouse Festival Museum and this year have been asked to be the official photographer for them and making an historical CD for them. I will have a booth at which I will be offering not only my photographs of lighthouses and the like for sale, but will be offering a CD of the Festival itself, for those who sign up and pay for the CD. A portion of the proceeds will be going to benefit the Lighthouse Festival Museum and to the lighthouse preservations funds. I'm hoping that there will be a lot of interest in the CD's and photos. If all goes according to plan, I will be doing this photography gig every year, so wish me luck!

My studio renovations are just about complete and I'll hope to be in there working by the fall. My dear hubby says it may even be earlier than that. We have a little bit of the ceiling to finish, trim between floor and walls and install cabinets, book cases and the like and I'll be ready to go. We did finish installing the wood laminate flooring and I have hung curtains so it has a semi finished look to it.

I may post some pictures of the semifinished studio - we will be adding more cabinets as our finances allow in the future. At some point, I will even have a long arm to help with my art.

Have a great day all!

  • Thank you all for your kind comments on my doing happy dance. Here are a few pictures of my nearly completed studio - hope they come through - just so you can see what we accomplished without having to pay to have it done

    My dear hubby is determined that I will be working in my studio by fall, if not sooner. Have a great day - Terri at the Drake's Nest in beautiful fallish Ossineke, MI Website: http://www.drakesneststudios.com Blog:

  • Terrific news! I want to congratulate you on your neat career move! Hearing about your accomplishment has made me really look hard at my work space and I just might have to actually clean it out. It is needed, but your story is motivating me to do something about my mess. :-) Michelle
  • Congratulations! So good to hear a happy artist with a success story. Can your hubby help with my studio? I can't even move around in it!
  • Good for you. It is wonderful to hear good news. Your studio sounds like it will be great also. Sounds like you are having a good summer!!
