Tanzania 2012

Imagine if each one of us donated $1.00 to sending Tammy to Tanzania this 2012 what she could accomplish in her goals!
150 plus newborns will receive care for up to a year.
How many doulas would be taught life skills and care?
The program will survive and know she can go for another year

Let the Bead Roll on

The repetitiveness of rolling beads is so soothing. I looked up and it was 11:30pm. Neck is stiff but look what I accomplished.

Getting Advise

I would never have believed it but p
people will go to Face Book and ask advise for personal and or medical concerns? Wow!!! How crazy is that? Check out some of their questions posted on Face Book. It will make you wonder and hopefully make you concerned for their safety and their families wellbeing. How many folks would post a medical question to their Face Book? I would suggest they ask their doctor and or get a 2nd, 3rd, 4th opinion but this maybe too obvious and duhhhh just saying....... There are crazy people out there.....and even crazier answers about your issues and your "hoo ha". I'd be scared...... Seriously. Concern and confused is more like it. One never knows does one!

My passions are

My husband and family
Being a Doula
Enjoying the time I spend with my family
My art and learning new techniques

I can relate as a twin having a brother

Alan I think about you often know I am here if you need me.

"Joy and Happiness" mixed media entry

Eileen and I created a lovely display for any decor. We first used water color paints free hand on Japanese water color paper.
Then applied our handmade stamped die-cuts and raised them for a 3D affect.
Some Zentangle art to give a funky flavor to a kimono robe 3D die cut and we now have entered our 2nd competition.
We are on a roll...
It was really fun and always insightful conversation night with Etta creating this master piece. We just submitted to the Simon Says & Stamp competition. Here's what we blindly came up with I'm loving it. Hope we win the grand prize.
Cash/ Stash for our trip to the wink wink Philadelphia Bead show next week.
