…AND ONE OF MANY SINCE I BECAME A DESIGNER MEMBER OF CHA! …JOIN THE CHA BLOG HOP!

I AM NOT AS FAMILIAR AS I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I AM WITH THE INTERNET AND BLOGGING.  LIKE MANY OF THE FIRST’S BEFORE THIS ONE, I TOOK A CHANCE, RISKED MAKING A FOOL OF MYSELF AND CAME OUT LOOKING OK, IF NOT BETTER. I HOPE TO BE DOING THE SAME IN THIS SITUATION.  AS THEY SAY “THERE IS NOTHING TO LOOSE, IF YOU DID NOT HAVE IT ALREADY!”

MANY THANKS GO TO LISA FULMER, THE ORGANIZER OF THE BLOG HOP. THANK YOU LISA FOR HOLDING MY HAND ALONG THE WAY AND ANSWERING THE MANY QUESTIONS I HAD.  I HOPE TO MAKE YOU PROUD!

MANY OF MY  PROFESSIONAL FIRST’S IN MY ARTS CAREER HAS BEEN WITH CHA. I HAVE GROWN EXPONENTIALLY, IN MY CONFIDENCE AS AN ARTIST AND IN WHAT I HAVE TO SHARE TO THE WORLD. AS A MEMBER I HAVE GAINED INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE.  AND…INTRODUCTIONS TO THE “RIGHT CONTACTS.”
