Musical that touched my heart!


What a awesome musical experience from the visual arts. Singing, praise dancing and pianist. Proceeds from the musical were for funds to be used for scholarships so students can attend the Beverly Thomas Fine Arts Institute http://www.bthomasai.com/ held June 20th at Camp Baber in Cassopolis, MI 49031

Quinlan Doll & Teddy Bear Show and Convention



Well I had a table at my first professional doll show on Philadelphia, PA last weekend. I was not prepared for all the activities... Classes, lectures, gallery shows and  show & sale on the last day of events. I was overwhelmed with the talent of over 100 doll and teddy bear artists. It was just amazing to say the least! Hey I made a few sales which tickled me to death. Made a lot of new friends and brought back the sweetest blue fur Teddy Bear by artist Darlene Allen of Raspberry Bears.
