Exciting news!!!

I've been painting with the DecoArt paints for a few months and I am just hooked on the Media line, so much so that I am using more paint than ink at the moment.

I decided to apply for a program that DecoArt offers called the Helping Artist program.  The program does a lot for artists including pay for being published and free paint for designing and teaching purposes.  I decided, after some thought and convincing by friends, to apply for the program. Well, I found out yesterday that I was accepted!!  I am so excited and honored to be accepted into the program!

On a different note, hubby and I attended the Rhythm and Food Fest here in Urbana yesterday.  This is the first year for the weekend fest and about 50 food vendors and numerous bands are scheduled to attend.  You can get a weekend pass to the festival for $5, which I think is an amazing deal!  We went for a few hours and had some amazing food.  I had the best crab cakes I have EVER had there....  The vendor we bought the cakes off of came all the way from Maryland and the cakes had so much crab meat in them it was unreal!!  We also had some pierogi from a vendor which were also very tasty.  We plan on going back for a bit today for some more good food and music.  They have a pretty nice setup for the bands to play on and there was some good music yesterday...


Off to get ready for the day...  Hope to have another post soon with a new project featuring DecoArt media and Dylusions stamps!

Thanks for stopping by!
