- I ordered the invites for my snister’s baby shower! I hope they turn out good (mostly, that I understood the bleed guidelines correctly).
- I “decorated” for Halloween again. Can you find it in the picture? Ha!
- As part of the work trip I am on, we checked out a bit of ArtPrize (a large international art competition spread across town and open to public and expert jury vote for top prizes) in Grand Rapids, MI. There were a lot of cool pieces! I really liked “Victory (huge figures made out of chairs), “The Smoke” painting (a neat painting of smoke with seven women hidden in it, which was supposed to have an actual smoke machine with it), and all of the beautiful Michigan sunset over the lake photographs. I love that there is a such a huge variety of mediums and styles – it really makes it so there is something to interest everyone.
- I was worried this work trip would be exhausting from being “on” and around people for two days. Luckily, I can be myself around my coworkers! So, it’s not exhausting in that sense, thankfully!

Holy smokes, look how creative people are! Chair art is amazing.
Your halloween decs beat mine LOL
The invite is really sweet, well done 😉
That’s the kind of art I enjoy, which I’m sure says that I know nothing about “real” art. It’s always cool to enjoy people’s creativity though.
The invitation looks great! (Are you worried that randos will show up now that you put the deets on the Internet?)
^^ Oh I’m dumb, I just realized that “Road, Street, Town” is not an address. DERRRR. (That being said, in Richmond, there’s a street called “Boulevard Avenue.”)
Yeah, I know nada about “real” art and was happy we were seeing all sorts of different things!
Ha, no worries! I made sure to change out all the identifiable deets! LOL @ Blvd Ave!
I never once went to ArtPrize, even when I lived in West Michigan. Fail. It seems like such a cool things, though, and I’m glad you got to see it! One of these days I’ll make it.
I hope you do get to check it out! It was neat! I would be fun to see a lot more if I was a local!
Very cute shower invitation! It’s baby shower season, I guess – I’m going to one in a couple of weeks, and hosting one in a month. And as with your sister’s baby, all for boy babies. Sweet!!
Thanks! Oh, fun! Are you knitting your presents?!
Cool chair sculpture!
The invitation turned out nice. Formatted very well.
I spotted the lone pumpkin. We’ve not decorated for the last couple of years here. We never get trick or treaters at our house and we have no more trick or treating aged kids around (my wife’s granddaughter is almost 14). But we still buy candy. 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
It would be so fun to decorate our house back in the woods all creepy but no one would see it! I doubt anyone will come here either. Good idea on still getting candy though, ha!
