Not much is going on in my art-world. Just making a few Bat Mitzvah gifts, a few birthday gifts and such.
Here is some cute to tide us over...

Look at how many are in the red wagon!

People Are Lovely

Priscilla Igram and Christine Orlando.
Two artists i have never met. Offered a kindness to me, as a fellow artist.

They run a children's art program called The Young Artists Studio in Fairfield CT. It looks so sweet! Such a great thing to do, helping open children to art!

If you know someone with kids in CT, pass it on!

Best Intentions

Well, the dolls for Africa have been abducted by my daughter. I am still going to send the off to Jen Lemen, but after my little one has time with them. She is SO into them! She has at least 90 dolls and she guards them well. She carry's them around town in a basket and plays with them everyday. Even though the girls in Africa will not get them as soon, they will come with wonderful amounts of love already built in!

One Grain of Sand

I want it all. I want to be the best mother, best wife, best daughter, coach, artist, friend. I want to help everyone. Be there for everyone's needs. Comfort, console, fix, heal. Some times I feel there is so much to do that I can't even make a dent in the problem. That can feel very paralyzing.
I read Jen Lemen's blog frequently. She inspires me a great deal by doing just what she can do to help others. Most of us are not rich or powerful, but it is amazing what one average person can do to positively impact others. Please go read her stories. Donate if you can. If you can't donate, consider a kind word or comment to contribute to the goodwill. Every little bit helps.
I am shipping these off to Jen for her next trip to Africa. Hopefully they will find loving arms with the girls there. A smile and a doll may not change the world, but they can maybe add a tiny moment of happiness. That is what I can offer. Good enough.
