I have been working on a fundraising event for 3 months - we raise money for children's music programs. Tomorrow is opening day of the 2012 Pasadena Showcase House of Design and I am really proud of the result, sharing it here for those who are interested.
Here are some great photos from LATimes http://www.latimes.com/la-hm-pasadena-showcase-2012-photos,0,6703203.photogallery
and some of my photos are featured here http://www.artsbeatla.com/2012/04/showcase-house-2012/
We open tomorrow!

Nice!  Nothing like the feeling you've done a bit of good in the world, is there?  :beer1;
