Now I feel bad, like I'm letting people down...

Now I've got a Challenge going at our neighborhood bar where my husband goes on Fridays to have a couple of beers with his buddies. I don't go, but he asked if I could do a Challenge for his friends so now I'm sending in regular Challenges to the guys there...nothing as serious as what I do here and quite a bit less difficult...but when he doesn't show up with a copy of some art work that I've printed out for him the guys say "Hey, where's the art!"

I've also been busy designing an art/culture Spain visit with my daughter and granddaughter. It's been put on hold, after I had devoted lots of time to some considerable research...but that's just the way it is, I guess...

I hope to get back to the Challenge soon. I enjoy the creative feeling I get from "curating" these Challenges and I like encouraging people to seek out art on their own because they like the Challenges...I'd hate to think I've "run out of steam..."
