"Art in the Park" is a multi-layered event. In addition to the juried art show, the festival features live musical entertainment, restaurant-quality food, wine and beer vendors, and a "Kids' Area" with extensive programming, including interactive art projects.
The much-anticipated festival will be held Sunday, Sept. 21, from 11:30 a.m. until 4 p.m., rain or shine, on Raritan Avenue in Highland Park.

Interested artists should log onto www.mainstreethp.org to print an application form.
Applications, slides and fees must be submitted by Aug. 8.

Don't forget to send your samples to Craftin Outlaws if you'd like to be included in the goodie bags.



They are putting together canvas tote goodie bags to be handed out to 100 people in attendance.  If you’d to take part in this year’s Craftin' Outlaw Goodie Bag, the deadline for your items/samples need to arrive is Monday, August 4th.  The maximum number of items/samples would be 100, but if you'd like to submit less than that amount that would be fine.  Examples of items/samples-soap, pendant, magnet, hair accessory, stationery example, etc.  We'd like to discourage it from becoming just a bag full of fliers and cards.

If you'd like to participate in this offering, please contact them at craftinoutlaws@gmail.com with any additional questions.

Giveaway Monday!
As I hear my kids giggle on the couch, watching their favorite cartoon, Spongebob Squarepants, I decided that today's random question should be related to the cause of their laughter. So, here is today's question:

Q: What is the name of the retirement home at which that Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy reside?

The first person to answer today's question correctly will receive this:


No, you don't get Full House actress, Jodie Sweetin, but the wonderful tote she's carrying that was used for the MTV Movie Awards Gift Lounge. 

They are organic cotton, silkscreened by Totally Awesome Alison Gordon, with artwork by Jen Ferreira of Saint9.

Remember, if you've already won a prize, you're not eligible to win.

Back in Time
Today we're going to visit Home of the Sampler August 2006. Valentina Design is the home of original artwork. She creates notebooks, prints and mixed media art. Her notebook, shown here, makes me feel inspired!


Since we love anything with hearts and sculls, we immediately fell in love this print.


Have a great Weds!
