Happy New Year

by | Jan 2, 2016 | Uncategorized

another year come and gone. another one already underway….
what’s the future for musing to hold? 
hopefully more of the same, but also hopefully something better. 
i’m always open to suggestions and ideas of how to make the blog better or more useful for folks. 
i’m also always open to submissions of content – calls for entry, exhibitions, and artists profiles for eye candy or emerging artists. 
this year i’m also looking for a few willing folks to take over some minor parts of the blog. 
think you might have the time, the inclination, the desire to get involved? 
drop me a line @ [email protected]
thank you
 as always to each and everyone of you that has helped to make musing what it is. 
i’m deeply touched by each and every email and lovely comment or shout out. 
you guys are the best. thanks for sticking with me for so long!
all the best for 2016

*also a reminder that musing is brought to you by volunteer hours rather then paid advertisments. should you ever feel so inclined to donate to keeping the blog up and running you can send donations via paypal to [email protected]
