Hanging at the Art Show

Here I am setting up for the show yesterday.
HI! I displayed my artwork at Franktown United Methodist Church Art Show and Bazaar yesterday.  Here I am after John and I got the racks up. I should be smiling but I'm still in hurry up and get it together mode. I had at least 40 paintings to hang. I do the hanging as when he helps hang, I always rearrange it. Ha ha..so I let him go home and he comes back 15 minutes before the show ends to help pack up and carry it to the car. I honestly don't know how I'd do it without him. My back is not good. I'm still wiped out from yesterday but I slept good last night and do feel better.  I had framed 10 new watercolors the day before.
New Crab, 8x10 framed $99. original.

 Sales were slim yesterday but I did sell one larger one so that's good. When I got home my order was in from Jerry's Artarama so I got all my paper. I'm looking forward to getting a hot press sheet out! They were having a good sale.

 Lots of my friends were showing too and I enjoyed being with them. The FUMC had a wonderful lunch. Two homemade sweet potato bisquits with ham and chicken and dumpling soup for $5. I got this and it was so good!!! The money the church made will go to Local Missions(when someone locally can't pay their heating bill or their house burns down or a similar event occurs the missions pay or help with their payments--anyone can apply to ask for help), which is wonderful.

 So tell me how your weekend was. Love to each of you! Diana
