300 - Cynthia Sillitoe, Val LaRue, and Diane Tisch
301 - Punwit, Carol Melichar, and Pati Bristow

THE COLOR BLUE SWAP
These are my entries to The Color Blue Swap, hosted by Nicky. What fun this was! I just love the color swaps and am thinking of hosting a color swap myself. I have been in a black and white swap, two purple swaps, a tan and navy swap and several others. I was in two color FATBOOKS and loved those. One was orange and one was aubergine (eggplant) (another purple~~~I love purple). I think I'd like another two-color swap if I decide to host.

YAHOO! SUCKS
I am getting so mad at Yahoo! They won't let me see messages on the group I own/moderate. I keep getting an error message: "jams and mailart group is temporarily unavailable". I wonder if anyone else in the group is having the same problem. I have contacted Yahoo! FIVE times and not one single response!
YAHOO! SUCKS!

FORT WORTH ART FESTIVAL
The Art Fest is back! Nora and I are going today and I hope to find some interesting art to post about here. I also hope the kaleidescope guy is back again this year. He makes the most wonderful kaleidescopes. They are way too expensive for me to buy right now, but one of these days I will add one to my own collection.
I can't wait to see Nora. I haven't seen her in ages. I haven't seen any of my friends in ages. Because i moved away from them to be closer to work. And I am so lazy that I don't go back often enough. I think I'm more excited to be with my friend than I am about the Art Fest.
UPDATE: Art Fest totally rocked. Nora and I got out there about noon and stayed till about 6pm. We ate lunch at Billy Miner's, my favorite downtown resturant, then hit the exhibits. I OD'd on all the great art. I wanted it all. It was hard to pick a favorite. I bought a refrigerator magnet of this years Art Fest logo and was intrigued by the art of Sean Brown from Denver, Colorado, who's sculptures are the result of many separate processes. The website is www.seanbrownartist.com so go look.

Jackie
This is a drawing I did at lunch today of my friend Jackie. She sits across from me and this is the view I have of her from my desk. Jackie is a young mom but she's so petite I tease her about being the kid herself. I love to see Jackie come in to work. She has the cutest clothes and always looks good; she's always got a smile on her face and a cheerful hello. Plus she's a big fan of my artwork, always offering me praise and encouragement. I will be doing more drawings of Jackie. I want to draw her lovely face next.

maggiesjam275
I needed an online art journal so this is where I'll post my art and opinions and some junk. I just got back several of my jams. This one is maggiesjam275. All the maggiesjams were started by me, heymaggie, and completed by at least two other artists. #275 was completed by Petra (sun4fun), Kristen (ksklein), and Katie Moore (indigoskies).
