Be The Match! Save a life!

So between Blogger and Facebook and MySpace and Twitter, ( and many more I am sure) there has never been an easier way to get info out to people all over the world, with the click of a mouse.

I am going to use my blogger powers for good, and hope that this post can inspire some prayers, and maybe save a life.

My cousin and her family have been going through medical issues for awhile. Her husband has cancer and they tell him that he has exhausted his treatment efforts. So his choices are, let the cancer run it's course or have a bone marrow transplant. He will be meeting with doctors in a couple of weeks to go through the info on that option.

So I would ask that all of you out there in blogger/facebook/twitter/myspace ...blah blah blah, send your prayers to Rick!! Pray for healing, for the family, for the doctors and for a bone marrow match.

And if you are not a registered bone marrow donor, there are people all over the world waiting to be matched. Check out the link below, and give it some serious consideration. All it takes is a cheek swap to be registered!

Thanks all, and feel free to repost or retweet, or whatever sounds your networking program makes!!

Forever Ago!!

Wow, I just looked at my last blog post and saw that it was almost 6 weeks ago!! What a bad blogger I am. For some reason things have been crazy around here. I feel like I have done very little art lately, not counting going up to Asilomar for Art&Soul. It does seem as though my muse has seen fit to take a vacation. I did get a tiny bit of inspiration tonight so I am working on a couple of things right now. I am waiting for some gel medium to dry, so I thought I would pop on over here for a bit.

So my son turned 7 today!! What a great time we had at his party. 8 kids, counting him (and a couple of siblings), and it went pretty smooth. We now have every Lego Power Miner set there is!! My husband, however, was not there, as he was home sick with pneumonia!! That's right, pneumonia!!! He has been down all week, and after 2 trips to the ER, they finally took a chest x-ray, and voila!! Pneumonia!!!

So here is a pic of the birthday boy with his balloon hat, and a group shot with the bear. (at least I think it's a bear).

Tattered and Tangled Art Opening

I am very excited to be a part of South Pasadena's Eclectic Music Festival and Artwalk, May 9, 2009 from 4pm-10pm. I submitted a piece of artwork that was accepted to show at Zinnia: The Funky Junque Gallery, as part of the open houses at 8 area galleries. Also, come to find our, Angela Cartwright will also be on hand at Zinnia to sign copies of her new book "In This Garden", and showcase all of the original art by the artists that collaborated on the book with her.

So far away!

Feels like forever since I posted here! I am getting ready to do a little showing at the Upland Lemon Festival next weekend, at my lovely friend Jenna's shop. Things have been a little crazy around here. Spring break, Easter and trying to get stuff together for Sunday. PLus I am now addicted to Facebook, so that takes a bunch of time. But I have almost everything framed, tags made, prints matted and ready to go. I will be making 2-3 journals to sell also. So all in all, it is going to be a busy week. Here is a journal page I did this weekend, that I will be selling as a print. Hope to see you all there. Sunday, April 26, 2009: Utopia Salon, 2nd street Upland, from 10-6pm
