"One Day Art Business/Motivational Workshop--Lexington, KY"

With a whole "book" of stuff to cover and some break away exercises, Saturday's workshop flew by! I have already had some really nice feedback from the workshop (thanks so much!) and it just thrills me. It was a lot of work getting all the information together, but I loved doing it and I loved sharing it. I have to say it 'cause it's so true. I am doing everything I love to do and I feel so lucky. The artists at this workshop were such beautiful people, all open to new ideas and looking for the best ways to move ahead with their dreams. I love it when people are excited about growing and learning. Somehow I always end up with the nicest bunch of people to be with and this workshop was no exception. Here's a few photos from the day.

And even Eddie scored well for the day.....Ed the potter brought Eddie the cat a can of tuna......

All in all--it was a full, satisfying day. The Artist Toolbox tools are now in the hands of a bunch of motivated artists...:)

"Winner of January Painting Giveaway!!"

Every month I am reminded of the gift that occurs for me each time I get to draw for the winner of the monthly painting giveaway. Yesterday when I sent out an email notification to the winner ....within seconds my phone was ringing. I picked it up to hear a voice on the other end saying, "This is John and I am the winner!" John is an incredibly gifted porcelain artist (he shared his work with me via email)... and just like that, I was connected with an artist living in North Dakota! Knowing that something we do maybe makes someones day....it always serves to remind me that it's so worthwhile doing...:)

"The Perfect Couple" will be heading out to John this week. He told me it's going in his kitchen where he will see it often, he loves to cook.....Congratulations, John!

The winner is drawn each month from the combination of those signed up on my newsletter, blog, blog followers, and comments left on my blog. Now, I had a few people ask me at my show opening how to post a comment on my blog. I forget that this time last year I was just learning what a blog was myself...:) So here goes (if you know how already, you can stop reading now and go back to your coffee)--

If you receive my blog in your mailbox, scroll to the bottom of the post to where you see this...http://dreamatolleperry.blogspot.com.....click on that. It will bring you directly to my blog (which will appear on a black page) When you see the painting for the day, scroll to the bottom of that post and you will see in small print "Posted By Dreama Tolle Perry, Comments-------That is where you click--on the comments. Then you can leave a post that everyone will see---including me! The more comments you leave, the more chances you have at winning a painting. So there you have it, now you can just run around commenting on blogs left and right....

And...one more thing I have added. At the top right of my blog page is a "share" button which, when you click it, will allow you to share my blog via email, facebook, twitter, etc. with all the people in your life that you would like to share this page with.....it's that easy. Now you have learned TWO new things . You can coast for the rest of the day....your work is done .
