Hard to believe that I will starting University on Monday! Seems like only yesterday that I was walking into an auditorium filled with people to not only receive my Associates Degree, but to watch as my son received his. No greater Mother's Day gift could I have asked for nor received. This time I am going for my Bachelor's. A few of the classes will be taken at the local Community College, while the rest will be online. The only time I will have to be "on campus" is to attend graduation, if I so desire.Work on my studio renovations are coming along nicely and, hopefully, by the time summer arrives, I'll be installing furniture, organizing and letting the creative juices out of their cage! Yesssssss!!!!!! I am trying to figure out a way that I can put up a web site that covers what I do, and presents it in its best light. Any ideas?Tomorrow I go to file my Business taxes for the very first time. This could prove to be very entertaining in that I have everything but the kitchen sink in my briefcase. I just KNOW I'm going to forget something. I never knew all the hoops one had to jump through just to try to promote the arts as a business or promote YOUR art as a business. I have lots of projects to do and people to contact regarding possible job relationships, but first I need a website in order to do some of the things that are wanted.I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, Happy Chaunaka, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!! May the year of 2010 find each and every one of you enjoying all the very best that life has to offer.Namaste - Terri at the Drake's Nest where a Giant River Otter has been playing in my pond.

As to the website, I wrote an article about this and you can read it on the NAIA artist's website at this link: http://naia-artists.org/resources/Newspaper/Issue5/Page5.htm. Do not look at that photo that is supposed to be me on that page!
Also, we have a web group here -- lots of good advice, and incidentally MY favorite topic!
