| A fun night at the Skeleton Show with dear friends. |
Honestly, I simply cannot remember a time when I have been more busy! I haven't even had time to write in my journal, let alone update my blog. So, let me begin with an attempt at a blow by blow of an amazing few weeks.

| Ghoulish putt-putt anyone? |
First up: The Skeleton Show at
LCCC gallery, and curated by the inimitable Mary Urbas.
Artist friends
Sean and Gail Crum were both in the invitational biennial exhibition, Sean with a cool new print, and Gail with her amazing collage
Fear and her assemblage,
Skeleton Putt Putt.

| Sold! Some lucky patron is taking home Gail's Fear. |
Adding to the fun of the evening was a huge crowd, many of whom were dressed in elaborate costumes.They were several booth vendors, as well, selling fun items like sugar skulls, which I bought for my grandkids.
 |
| Not sure what the costume is, but it's festive! |
 |
| Mary Urbas in full regalia! |
It's always fascinating to see the fleshed out ideas of other artists. Creativity is such a gift to the world: smile, cry, think, observe, react. It's an experience. I encourage you to try it!
 |
| I soooo love this necklace! |

One of my favorite local artists, Mark Yasenschack
made some ceramic skeleton heads for the show.
Dozens of them were sold by nights' end! |
We topped off the evening with dinner at a fabulous chef-run Mexican restaurant in Lakewood,
El Carnicero. The atmosphere is urban and fun, and the food and drinks are to die for.
So, there you have it, details on one lovely night of art, friends and food. Wait until I tell you about Friday, the very next day. Watch this space!
