Maggie is Great with Advice

If you need some advice and encouragement, Maggie Stiefvater is dishing it out on her writing blog. It can certainly apply to art as well. Something to think about until I post again.

I'm off to lunch with my working buddies from Continental Airlines in the 60s. Wow! That is ages ago. We will see how much we can remember!

Am off to visit Maggie's writing blog but in the meantime want to let you know that I've passed the Kreativ Blogger Award on to you...No one deserves it more! Come by and pick it up!

Thank your for stopping by and leaving an award. I will get to it ASAP. Daughters arriving today and we will be going to the Balloon Fiesta and visiting family. You are so nice for thinking of me. :)

Hi Jo! Thank you SO much for linking to Maggie's essay. Perfect timing for me. I want every artist to read that. Thank you, too, always, for your encouragement and support of my little efforts to be a better painter. I love you for that.

Hi Susan, Maggie has such great business sense and a humor to get her points across. I still go back and read her art info once in a while. Thank you for your support, too. :) Hugs.
