Happy Thanksgiving!
Well, God knows I have so much to be thankful for. This year
I started a new business, kind of reluctantly, but I started one! DiGiulio
Project, LLC. It was not necessarily the thing I wanted to do NOW, but as life
teaches me daily, it has its own agenda, and I must follow it whether I want to
or not. And usually in the end, its what should transpire anyway, so just do
it! Funny how the Universe has to constantly teach me things - or cram them in
my ever questioning skull!
So after working for Jerry's Artarama for 13 years, I now
still work for them sort of, as director of Art of the Carolinas .
In addition to AOC, I now have a bit more "free time" to work on my
own artwork, set Joe and myself up for workshops here and there around the
country, and also come up with some new offerings through DiGiulio Studios.
Lots of exciting stuff!
October and November were slam full of jam packed fun!
Football, hockey, haunted houses, work, work and more work!
We took time out to go to Zach's haunted house in Wallace, NC. OMG! Way too much fun! Here are a couple of photos we took that night in Zombie Land...
Many late nights in the studio produced a long awaited showing of my baby doll presentation. I've had this idea in my head for a couple of years, but never really had the venue to show what I wanted to do. I had done one show back in 2007 atRiviera Raleigh

That was Halloween weekend, Oct 31, November 1 and 2.
The next weekend was Art of the Carolinas !
This year was year 13. I forget how much I put into the show and the planning
for it until its all over and I crash. The older I get, the harder it gets.
Seriously! The good part is I forget all the bad stuff and the constant push
and pull of all the behind the scenes madness. Its a real challenge and all so
worth it! I love when people come up to me and hug me and thank me for putting
this show on. The funny part, is I feel the exact same way! I could not put
this show on without the support of all the artists out there who come to share
their passion with the rest of us! It really is such a wonderful four days.
Everyone is there to learn, to teach, to discover, to share. Art magic at its
finest! See, just another thing to be thankful for! And one thing that helps me
so much is the football and hockey games. I get to go and root for my teams and
yell and scream and whistle! Just another way to keep the balance...
Next on the agenda: Zach's 30th birthday. What??? Yep,
that's right. My little preemie 3lb, 3oz. kid is now 30 years old and
6'3". Amazing, right? Who loves you baby? I certainly do! Enjoy life, make
great choices and live your passion. Amen.
So now we are at Thanksgiving! After cleaning, rearranging,
making up beds and grocery store lists, preparing and getting ready to host a
feast at our house - it is finally here! Some how, some way, everyone will have
a nice warm place to sleep and lots of good food to eat, and lots of family
surrounding them on this Thanksgiving. So ready for a great weekend of love,
family and friendship. This is what I look forward to so much! Thank you one
and all for making my life more meaningful by being in it. xoxo
