Where to start?! First, welcome to the new and improved Galleria Monique; version 2.0! XD It's been a long night, but recently I've been looking into a new Web design with Wordpress, Wix, and (somewhat) Google Sites... Anyway, Weebly was absolutely wonderful when I started using it! It's definitely known for its "drag and drop" design, which is easy for beginners. I'm just so pleased with the options that were available, how few errors occurred, and how little time it took to upload so much content...

Secondly, on to our events! Monica had her first art class with the seniors at the Baptist Manor, and I think it went very well! I'll be getting the photos from that up ASAP. Thank you to everyone who came! Monica and I are really looking forward to the next art classes!

Thirdly, we'd like to stress the need for volunteers, input/feedback, and donations. We're always looking to help out around the community more and more. So let us know what we can do!

Fourthly, I will be working on the CafePress.com store as soon as I can. It's been a busy week, and I assume that it will only get busier. That's a good thing though, so stay tuned!

And, the GRAND FINALE: The Art Show and Auction for Charity! We're so excited and yet apprehensive! Artists, merchants, musicians, everyone needs to come forward! Support your band, sculptures, or local business! We want your talent! Monica is currently looking for donations for the big event, which is November 5 for those of you who haven't marked your calendars yet! E-mail Monica ASAP if there's any way at all that you can help. Hope to see you there! ;D

So it's an all new website and an all new blog! We're now on Facebook and LinkedIn, so connect, Connect, CONNECT with us and spread the word! :D
