I am getting ready to head out to Port Townsend for my annual art retreat, Artfest. Looking forward to seeing old friends and spending time making new kinds of art.
Lots of eye candy when I return. I am NOT taking the laptop and will be “unplugged” the whole time. Which will be both difficult and a nice addition to the mental vacation space.
I really like the One-word concept monthly idea…
