Remember when I introduced The Collage Cafe? This Sunday I got to join the Grown*UP Girls Club for a creative session. This gathering is Lindy’s brainchild of creating a haven for women to leave all the day-to-day behind and spend some time playing, creating and getting to know other ladies. The group meets on the […]

I was Ahavani Mullen’s “plus one†for Art in Motion, which turned into a “presidential” FUSEDChicago gathering. (Ahavani is a vice president and I am co-President). There was an auction for paintings done by patients of the rehabilitation […]
