First First Friday

I wanted to let everyone know I will be in my first First Friday here in Vegas.
Jason & I have been here almost a year. Wow, time flies whether you're having fun or not.
So you should TRY to have fun....even if everything is dry and brown and you miss the humid lushness of an East Coast Summer and all the people there.... haha YES I'm giving myself a pep talk.....and I should listen to myself damn it! Ok enough of that silliness.

Please come see me.....I will be outside - across from the Funk House. September 4th 2009
6pm till 10 pm. I'm going to have a fresh assortment of small affordable paintings and whimsical painted furniture.

xoxo, Patti
