Arts Illiana's: Annual TableScapes Event 2023

Our 20th TableScapes Anniversary Year!
The annual TableScape fundraiser hosted by Arts Illiana; 

Sycamore Banquet Center at Indiana State University Terre Haute


Scape Designer Requirements:
  
     The designers will setup their 60" round 30" tall, 6 place setting Scape Thursday March 23 (between the hours of 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM).  My recommendation is to always start early.  That way if you need additional items, you have time to purchase and add them.  

     Friday March 24 is Celebration of Design-Cocktail Party.  Each Scape is awarded 1 ticket for a designer to attend this fabulous fun filled evening.  Mix and mingle, enjoy spirits, music and hors d'oeuvres and enjoy time with the judges between 6-6:30 pm before the public arrives!  Please provide the name of the designer that will be attending Celebration of Design-Cocktail Party to stacey@arttotality.org by Thursday March 9th.  We can have those ready to hand out at the designer meeting or have the complimentary ticket at the check-in counter the evening of the event.  Additional tickets for Celebration of Design-Cocktail Party are $25.00 per ticket as well as tickets for the Dinner, $85.00 can be purchased during the designer meeting.



Lastly is the tear down of the Scapes.  The designer can do this anytime between the hours of 10:00 am and 1:00 pm, Sunday March 26th.  If you attend Dinner at the Scapes Saturday March 25th, then you have the opportunity to tear your Scape down at the conclusion of the evening.  

Things to remember...  
  1. Chairs are not being used at the designed Scapes. This will allow us to save space for dinners to be at none designed tables.  
  2. The only area that will need to be designed is the top 60" round surface of your table.  We can not have any area around the table taken due to limited space for the dinner tables that are separate from your Scapes this year.
  3. Designer Pantry is here.  Please reach out to Sandy Mutchler if you would like to borrow something from the pantry for your scape.

The decoration policy is as follows:  No granular substances. No glitter. No adhering anything to walls.  No open flame. No items around your Scape.

We look forward to the best year yet!

I don’t give afunkanidias…how to build a resilient lifestyle…

When you have "I don't give afunkanidias", you are living the life Peter had in Office Space, minus the money laundering and smashing of the printer.  This type of life has the freedom to be who you are without fear.  You truly do not care what acquaintances or random people think, nor do you care about the consequences of their judgments upon you.  We are not talking about narcissists either.  Those that have this condition may come across as arrogant or cocky but the reality of it all is this:  they are comfortable in their own skin.   Loving yourself is a key ingredient for this to happen. The best way to create a resilient lifestyle is to love who you are.   At one point or another, you will have something to bounce back from.   You just never know what you are going to get and when you will have that “thing or things” happen. Divorce, death, sickness, rejection…these are all part of normal life that will require recovery.  Quick recovery is resilience. First yo

The Squeaky Walmart Cart

    Let me start this Blog by saying:  There are some truths (very little) and falseness (lots) to this story! LOL!      At one time or another, we have won the lucky fucked up cart lottery.  The wheel that just isn't functioning the way it was intended.  More than likely, it is a cart someone else set aside for that very reason.  What do you do when you get that lucky cart?      The attention seeker will probably keep the damn cart.  Parading up and down the aisle all dressed up and ready to accept numbers for a date.  For those of us that do not like the squeaky cart, timing of when you find out you have the lucky one matters. Halfway to the milk aisle the cart starts squeaking and you only needed a few items.  Damn it!      Those that are fixers will look for a remote location in the store, as to not draw attention while assessing the issue.  In my mind, I have invested too much time getting to the milk to turn around now and get another cart.  I even grab for my *Gerber tha

What the Hell!

      What the Hell (WTH) is a common phrase used in “frustration”. We all have WTH  moments. This short blog is about a transition from WTH to WTF to Now What to You Got This .      It was a typical Sunday morning at the tail end of January. I got up around 4 am, finished a few updates to a training course, then my oldest son and I headed out the door for our tennis lesson. We left a bit early because of ice on the road.  On the way,  I felt the compelling urge to explain how to drive on ice.  This interrupted his earbud music playing on the passenger side, that is never good. Our conversation turned into a debate, “Mom, I know physics.”.      We arrived at the court and started our warm up. I was on the add side and Jake was on the deuce side. We were sharing the indoor court for our lessons. I remembered feeling pretty good about my timing and how easily the ball was going over. Then I went for one of my favorite shots, my inside out forehand.  Everything changed within seconds
