Best 9 of 2017

One of my favorite features of Instagram is the annual Best 9 collage for the year.  Not only does it make me happy to see such a colourful collage, but also reminds me of some of the things I have accomplished throughout the year.  This year I was reminded of the Amazing Airdrie Women Awards and my project which all live in new homes; of the 21 SECRETS: Tell Your Story online workshop which I have been privileged to take part as an online workshop instructor with Dirty Footprints Studio again; of incredible friends I've made through commissioned artwork and exhibits, such as the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium and Lineham House Galleries; and of trips to beautiful and inspiring places such as Whitefish, Montana and Banff, Alberta (my absolute favorite place on the planet!).
