Could it get any better?

The Springville Museum of Arts is having it's 26th annual Spiritual and Religious Show. Art Work will be accepted October 18-22. My V.T. had told me about this show a year ago. I kept it in the back of my mind that I would enter this show.
SVM is a very prestigious museum. I have already been denie by them once. Someday YOU WILL see one of my piece on their wall.
I just finished the piece. I took a picture of it, but not having the right equipment to take a magazine qualtiy picture, it doesn't look that good.
I like the subject matter, and have brought my unleashed Mexican spirit into producing my art. I only hope that they don't think it looks too tacky, because, tacky is my flavor! Ha, ha.
Our local library is also accepting artwork, I will submit a piece I already finished.
I still await on an answer from Desert Book, but it has been so much easier with other project I am working on.
The last project I am working on is writing an article on the adoption of my daughter Aurora. I made a goal that I had until the end of this month to finish the draft.
I know this was a bit more lengthy than my other entries, but I had so much more to say this time. I wish you all good luck on your ventures, for life is ment for many of them.

Four followers, one being me

Tommorrow is mine and S.H.'s creative meeting. I think we need to give ourselves a name, me thinks.

At our last meeting  S.H. told me I should inquire with Desert Book, of where my manuscript's status may be. I wasn't sure, but thought she probley was right. But I procrasinated. Friday at the park with the Mom and Tots group, I told the ladies I wasn't sure about the inquire, because on-line I couldn't see that there was a protocall to inquires.

Giving good advice again on why I should, I still wasn't sure. I emailed a children's writer aquintance named Kristyn Crow and asked her thoughts. Kristyn recommended that I wait at least 3 months before and inquiry, "Waiting is one of the hardest parts of being a writer/illustrator." - Amen.

I am working on a piece that I want to submitt to the Springville Museum's Religious Art show. It might be a bit much, but I can't help it, I'm Latin!

Work in Progress,..aren't we all

Were in the third week of school, now it's time to get down to bussiness.

I usually like to wait to write after me and S.H. meet, but I am trying so hard to keep to my Monday goal.

I went to a campout this weekend, where I was able to speak with two very create people. One a Officer of the Peace who is an amazing artist. His drawing, draw you into his world. Sometimes his pictures are scarey, funny, but always, real.  He currently is involved in a court case and his creativity seems to be put on hold for a while. I hope to see his spark ignite soon.

The second is his brother, a Fed-Ex guy. His mind is ever thinking of all the stories that are ready to explode on the paper! He has such a passion for his characters. I love to listening to what he has brew for the next chapter.

Today,  I looked through the milk crate where I keep the stuff on adoption about all my children. In the crate I have kept all the journals I wrote in about the roller coaster ride I endured. The letters, pictures, and cards the birthmothers sent. It brought a smile and tears to my heart.

 My adventures in Adoption Land began in 1994 and has lasted over seventeen years now. I think I bare respounciblity to share my knowledge with the world, with those who want to know how to have a family when your body won't produce, or you have the feeling that you want/need to add a special someone to your family.

I am going to work on my article now, thanks for spending a few moments, reading what Ruby has going on in her head. I leave my smile with you.

I WILL BLOG!!!!! Hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Even if I just type "Hi." You will hear from me. I have declared my intentions from this point on to S.H. and now you, my small reading audience.

I will now attempt to write on my blog to you, as I am uploading pictures of my son's comp soccer team on Teampages. The life a mother, trying to do as many things as she can at once. (smile).

I am going to make sure every week I hit my blog and update my progress, as small as it may seem. Second I also will be working on an article about adoption. I want to write something along the lines of, "Look what I would have missed." Lastly, patiently wait for an answer on my manuscript.

I would like to leave you with Dr. Seuss's famous words "From there to here from here to there funny things are everywhere".
