Happy 2023! My 2022 Recap!

Happy new year! I had a lot of hits and misses in 2022. It was a big year for re-thinking, re-purposing, renewing, reorganizing, rediscovery...and a lot of other great words that start with re.

It's easy to forget how much you've accomplished until you put it in a list :-)

My Misses!

•I had two short story rejections
•My dear sweet friend Muffin passed away. He was 20 or 21 and was just the bestest friend/worst roommate a gal could have. Luv you Muff Muff!
•I missed a lot of deadlines for art and story submissions, doh!
•I didn't attend Calgary Expo--it was just not the right time and a lot of artists I know came down with COVID as well as con crud :S

My Hits!

•My Etsy shop surpassed 1500 sales, woohoo!
•I had one short story accepted for publication!
•A miniature tapestry I made won third place in its class at the Calgary Stampede!
•Three of my pieces were accepted into a local art show :-)
•A video submission I made for a conference was also accepted and will be shown in January
•I did attend Parrot Palooza as an artist :-)
•A story that was accepted in 2021 will be published in 2023
•One deadline I made sure not to miss was the CBC Short Story Prize. Stay tuned!
•Oh, and after 20 years, I graduated from the Alberta University of the Arts (formerly ACAD). It was a great moment!!
