Additional Items I made for the Ties That Bind Project

T-T-B

What's T-T-B you ask? Ties That Bind. Well, I have to say I had no idea until yesterday. Some of you may know that I live under a rock. So my artistic friend Deb mentioned to me that she was sending in charms for an auction to raise money for ovarian cancer research.

I immediately thought ..I want to do that too. So I signed up and made two charms yesterday. I've picture one.

How wonderful would it be to find a cure for these different types of cancers. The list of our loved ones that have been affected by cancer is increasingly staggering. Some are casualties of cancer but thankfully more and more these days many are getting to be survivors. Thanks in part to more awareness and efforts like this one.

To find out more and if you would like to participate click on the link that is on the left and it will take you to the blog site where you will find a list of artists who have donated their work as well a photos of altered ties and charms. Deadline is in the mail by the end of this month.

Check out Deb's rockin' charms at her blog by clicking "It's All Good" in my Likable Links on the left.

So until the new system when no resident will say I'm sick. Let's do what we can where we can.

That Nancy!!!

Deb, her daughter Kim and I all went to a yard sale yesterday and bought some great finds for ourselves and for future altered art projects. So while we were out we decided to go to the same dollar store that Nancy had purchased those cool wood hangers she is showing on her blog. We were all (at least me and Deb) so excited to get a few to play with. But alas they had none...so we left with our heads hung low. They were all sold out and none were to be had at any of their sister stores. Boo hoo hoo....It was a sad day indeed in the world of wooden hangers. We are convinced Nancy bought them all up! That Nancy!!!
