Maroon’s Light

What a crazy exciting weekend it’s been!  After a long crazy week at work we had a nice relaxing Friday evening just the two of us.  We knew we’d be busy this weekend and wanted to rest up.  Saturday we cleaned house and played mariokart for a while before heading out to the Art Guild.  Do you remember a month and a half ago I said I donated a framed beaded flower to the Art Guild?  Chris and I met up w/ some friends to go to the auction.  I’d never been to an auction before but this one was a little different.  It was a dutch auction.  Which means the prices go down.  So the the art is hung on the walls.  And they set a price and you have ten minutes to go pick the piece that you want.  If more than one person wants the same piece then there will be a bid off.  After the ten minutes the prices go down a little and you have another ten minutes to get the pieces you want. 
I’m very excited to say that Maroon’s Light was sold very early in the auction.  I was so thrilled!  It was my first major sell!  All the proceeds go to the Art Guild, but it’s still very exciting.  And gives me a huge inspiration to try art shows again this year. 
Today we left around 6am to drive w/ friends down to St. Louis to watch the Bears play the Rams.  It was my first Bears game and a ton of fun.  There were a ton of other Bear fans there, all dressed up in our gear.  We yelled and cheered and screamed pretty much the entire first half.  And by half time we were up 24 to 3.  The second half wasn’t quite as exciting but it was still a really great time.  We didn’t get home until after 6 tonight.  Now I’m exhausted and ready for bed.  Turkey day is this week… love turkey day!  And more new pieces will be posted soon!!!
