Sharing South Dakota
Hi all,
I am just letting everyone know about the new challenge in the South Dakota group: South Dakota Best

Our dog died yesterday...
Our dear dog, Summer, who has been with our family for 13 years passed away in her sleep yesterday afternoon. We knew at her age that every day was a bonus with her and we prayed that when it was her time to go, that we would not be faced with a difficult decision about weather to ‘help’ her or determine an end for her suffering. On Monday it was a holiday (Martin Luther King day) a…
Where I've been...
My activity on RedBubble has been very scarce lately and I feel like I’ve lost some “friends” due to my neglect! If anyone is still there who I’ve been sharing this space with for the past few years that happened to miss me, here is the reason:
I started building a canoe on December first, and while the project is still ongoing, I thought I better stop in and give an acco…
Two sales in three days.....
After a bit of a dry spell and a sad couple weeks with my camera in for repairs I was really delighted to open my email Sunday and today and found I had sold two works this week!

The past weekend was a great experience and opportunity for me as a photographer. I was invited to be one of 4 artists featured in an art show at “The Meeting Place” in downtown Chamberlain, South Dakota.
The event brought out a large number of people and the feedback was so terrific. I met a lot of great people and learned a LOT! This was my first occassi…
Ready to hit the happy trail!

We’re headed West!!
My husband and I are taking a somewhat spontaneous trip out West to pick up a camper and truck to store for a friend over the summer. This involves a one way flight from Omaha, Nebraska to Bozeman, Montana ($79!) What a deal!! And then we drive the whole outfit back home to Vermillion, South Dakota.
Now — I’m the traveller in this marriage and my husband …

New Group I'm hosting....
I have just started a new group called South Dakota and would love you to help me get the word out so we can start gaining members and pulling together some of the great art and writing that I have seen on RedBubble that showcases the Land of Infinite Variety.
If you have ever lived here or just passed through and have something to add YOU’RE INVITED!!
Thank you!

Always thankful
For the many wonderful groups and group leaders who devote their time and energy to moderating, creating challenges, and featuring members… I would be remiss not to take a moment of time each month to thank these wonderful people for the way they have supported and promoted my photographic submissions. During the past couple of years that I have been a part of RedBubble it never ceases to …
