The Art of Giving - Donate Art

My first Holiday Open House and Studio tour went very well, many friends and family members dropped by both Saturday & Sunday. Each guest received a special gift of Art inspired by HIM from me. But then I found myself removing framed artwork from my studio wall as a donation for a local ministry's annual silent auction ... Last call for Grace. As mixed media artwork, both pieces contain my photography. And, I just want to share with you how I am amazed in his grace today as this silent auction became a photo assignment event for me ... can you believe how HE flipped a love donation into work. I can cause that's just how HE is ... his mercy is everlasting!

    So glad your studio tour went well, and that your gifting was so quickly rewarded. That gifting is one of the miracles I keep having to remind myself of.

    Guess we are on a path together, in a way...My firts studio tour is weekend after next. I'm working hard to get ready for it, having spent so much time interviewing some of the other artists on the tour, taking care of family, and...oh so many odds and ends that show up. Thank goodness for two snow days of uninterrupted studio work!

Good things and not so good things somethings come together. In 2003 I was finally diagnosed with  thyroid cancer . I say finally because I was sick for 10 months, constant choking and coughing all night long before I found my cancer. ~ okay, side-bar for a quick cancer story....  I was sick, and first we thought it was a virus, then maybe  bronchitis , then maybe an allergy, I coughed and coughed, I couldn't sleep. I coughed so hard, I broke two rib

Blogging Revelations - A Kelly Rae Roberts E-Book reader Confession

... re posted from bloggingrevelations.com - 1/10/11 My very first private e-class was Kelly's and it was awesome! I learned so very, very much. But some things are never in a book, never written down. In her e-class/book Kelly stresses the importance of blogging in so many ways. Blogging was the first item of discussion in class. Blogging is the first chapter of her e-book.  Blogging ,  blogging ,  blogging . I've been a loyal follower of Kelly's &  Anna 's  for years now. Yet I'm not on any of their list. I've searched through their archives for the secrets to their success and found them on more than one occasion. I'm a speed reader. I read super more then the average person in one day. I love books! I love information & like Reed on Criminal Minds, I love to share tidbits of what seams to be the most unrelated information that I've gathered. When my Daddy, would say something is very important. I listened, then acted on his prompt. Liste
