So you guys probably figured I had fallen off the planet!

Well it is kind of true, at least I have fallen off of the Steemit planet for some weeks!
I have been attending to some other priorities
(like presenting at the Steem Creators Conference,
activating the @museproject,
and the preparing for the metamorphosis of the @gardenofeden).
I've also been giving myself a bit of a techno break---
except for editing photos of all these amazing events, of course!

It's way past time for the Finale of the Artists in Bloom Gallery No. 9,
so here we go!

ARTISTS IN BLOOM IS THE INITIATIVE FOR SHARING AND PROMOTING

I'm grateful for the artists who bring their talent to the table,
and for being patient in awaiting this FINALE of such amazing works.

I am honored to share these inspired creations and to be witness to
creative minds and hands at work!

I hope you're inspired to find a child's art to share with us.
Get it ready---the new Gallery Invitation opens Sunday (April 29),
with a deadline of Sunday, May 6, 2018 Midnight CST!!
I'll be making an invitation post for you to share your links.

Check out the FINALES of our first eight Galleries -
No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4,  No. 5, No 6, No. 7 and No. 8

IMPORTANT NOTE:  For all who enter the Artists In Bloom Initiative.  We may have an exciting opportunity to exhibit these works in a year-end finale Gallery (such as Steemfest3!!!)  If you want the child's art to be considered for such an opportunity, you must submit the art via this form.  If you do not fill out the form, the child's art will be excluded from any such exhibit.  If you have not yet submitted your art from this Gallery 8, now is the time!

To see last year's exhibit at ArtAtSteemfest, check out my link here.   
This could be a potential reality again--with the children's art included!

May we all be blessed to see the world
through the eyes of a child!
