"J" IS FOR JOAN! A framed birthday card created for the birthday of my cousin's dear wife. I made a special pressed flower birthday card for her, and framed it.

HCAA was approached by Boys and Girls Club to judge their annual art exhibit. What a delightful honor for HCAA represented by Margot, Jeanie and Barb, on Friday! Such amazing talent in the 5-9 and 10+ year old age groups work! Winning pictures advance to B&G Regional in Missouri.

Shop Local, second of two day event, today, in downtown, Noblesville. HCAA has "pop up" space, indoors, off the alley, behind Noble Made, south side of courthouse. Parade at 3! So, attend early!!

Have you been to Asian Grill, on Square, in Noblesville, lately? Great menu eat in, or carry out! My favs Mongolian Beef, Steamed Dumplings and current artwork, of Jason Kistler and Barb McEvoy😄

Thanks to all who came to view artwork during HCAA Annual Exhibit, Carmel Library. Great to have Judy and Leah, longtime Master Gardener friends, visit and to catch up, over lunch, at Woody's.

HCAA Fairyville Tea and Tutus an enchanting event. Darling fairies, some dressed to the nines and tens!. HCAA volunteers had as much fun as the kiddies. My Columbine Faire original, some cards and prints sold, as did one of my pressed flower originals hanging in the "Mother Earth Exhibit.".

Escape winter doldrums: Visit Nature's Inspiration Art Exhibit at Cool Creek Nature Center. Hurry Exhibit ends March 3rd! My pressed flower picture, "Hosta Bowl of Beauties" won a First Place Ribbon, in the "Other" category. This was my first time to enter this annual exhibit. I'm told my two entries are first time ever pressed flower picture entries, at this Cool Creek annual exhibit. "Other" category includes any entry art entry that is not watercolor, oil or photograph.
