Up to my knees in ArtFest trades and taxes...

"beach in a bag" artist trades...

Collage bag trades...

My raw materials for artist 'trades' for ArtFest...

I've been 'knee deep' in tax forms, numbers (that don't add up), and ArtFest trades all week. This morning, I finally said "*&#@*&% the taxes, I'm FINISHING my trades!" Artist trades, for those of you who haven't been to ArtFest or Art and Soul out here in the Northwest, are a VERY big part of these art retreats. Artists make little 'gifts' for each other, to trade, or just give away. It's a wonderful and unique experience. Well, I have 75 done, and will do another 25. Taxes will have to wait until Monday... For those of you going to ArtFest this week, I can't wait to see you there. I'm in Dorm 225, room #5.

  1. I can relate... I finished about 100 trades too (digital ATCs & yarn), and have been spending time with the dentist and deck contractors this week!!! Tomorrow I'm working on gallery items and hope to start organizing/packing stuff..... Taxes will wait til I get back. Can't wait til we get to AF!!!

  2. You're way more into trades than I am this year. I made Moo Cards and that's going to be it. This flu/bronchitis has just totally sapped my energy! Thank god I'm not staying in the dorms but have a little guest cottage reserved. And my taxes went to the accountant two weeks ago. I don't know the damage or what my estimated taxes will be but at least it's in the works.
