Wow has life been crazy/stressful/hard/emotional/blessed/wonderful/exhausting for the past 10 days! (I wasn't always in the best of moods, though I tried to remember to be). There were (many) times I didn't think I was going to make it, but at the same time I knew it couldn't be any other way.
And now THIS is happening:
Crazy, huh!?
I was so sick for 10+ days a while back followed by the worse case of designer's block I have ever had - which put me 3-4 weeks behind schedule...and it's been frustrating trying to get caught up without sacrificing the integrity in my design. But everything is coming, and has come, together. There have been A LOT of miracles happen these past few weeks to make this possible and so many people have been my angels. I'll share more about this later in the week.
So. Final exhibition is upon us! I have a 5:00 am rise-time in order to get everything ready. I can't forget a single thing or I am a dead-woman.

Yesterday I took a few hours away from exhibition prep....red on red is back! Brighter this time. Now I am ready to go - this Inchbald plan has been in the works for over two years! I still can't believe I made it here - and I can't believe it's coming to a close. One of the best years of my life and it can only get better from here. A million thanks to all who helped my get here.
Xoxo.
