OCTOBER 2024 NEWSLETTER
Dear Friends
I do believe that October was the busiest month this year in my studio! Inktober is always an intense month-long project, and oh so exciting! I also had the Open Studio weekend, which was lots of fun.
While some people are winding down, others are wondering how they're going to get through the year. Whatever situation you find yourself in, remember there's always time to "take 5", breathe deeply and slowly, take a stroll in a garden, stretch...
FOMO
(Fear Of Missing Out!)
There’s no need to experience FOMO if you missed the Open Studio Weekend, which was held on 19 and 20 October! You're amuck with luck because there's still time to:
- View and buy some of the fabulous goodies that were on display (visit PRODUCTS page)
- Purchase a raffle ticket (or more) to win an incredible hamper stuffed with art supplies (see below)
- Continue bidding on the Inktober drawings (visit INKTOBER page)
- Make a cash donation towards the Inktober HOPE Basket (send me a WhatsApp).
I hope you get inspired when you browse through the OPEN STUDIO photos below

October Babies
This song is for all the young hearts and old souls: Brenda C, Keagan, Paula, Marijke, Nigel, Michelle H, Hanlie, Mercy and Karen K. May you always have “sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you”. I hope everyone will enjoy Doris Day's 1957 version of "Dream a Little Dream of Me".
Rest and Restoration
Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.
Jesus said: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
