So at this time yesterday I had already downed probably eight 12 oz bottles of water. Today, I am on my third cup of coffee. Of course, yesterday I was in yoga training at Power of Your Om - a Baptiste Power Vinyasa Flow based studio - sweating my eyebrows off in an eighty something degree room with between ten and forty five people.

Anderson’s Bookstore - every kid’s favorite Indie bound bookseller - greeted us with the nice surprise of Clifford and Curious George. Later that evening on the way home from a Halloween kid fest, I decided to bring my 20 bucks to the Glancer tent at Potter’s Place, the local

The Thursday night members meeting was hit. It was the first of a new twist of the Naperville Art League’s member meetings led by Karen Musgrave. Membership has been asking for more and more business ideas and creative ways to market their art so Karen decided to ask fiber artist, BJ Parady, to talk about how she uses her blog to promote and sell her work. 

Many artists struggle with balancing their studio time where they can be creative with the business administration time which included marketing their work. Parady was encouraging about getting out there - sometimes if even to share ideas or be social
