    Art Now for Autism
    October 1 – 31, 2008

    This online exhibit raises funds for autism awareness and research with 100% of art sales going to Autism Speaks. This year’s exhibit includes the work of over 120 artists including artists with autism spectrum disorders. Prices range from just a couple of dollars to over $500. Be sure to check out our selection of one-of-a-kind puzzle pins for a donation of $25. There is something for everyone! Support the cause and get a wonderful piece of art, too!

    I donated these pieces to the auction and also made the blue piece in this donated collaborative project .

    Man ATC swap

    October 2, 2008 - By 

    DO NOT ADJUST YOUR MONITOR!
    He is actually greenish.

    My friend Elizabeth twisted my arm to join a couple of her swaps this month. They are both ATC swaps. I’ve completed the Men ATC’s. It’s funny though, this is not what I had intended at all for these but my printer decided to run out of ink part way through the printout. Since the guy had this funky green color to him I figured he had to be either from Mars, nauseated or radioactive. Obviously, I went for radioactive.

    Now I need to come up with something fun for the Children theme ATC’s. I have a couple good vintage child photos.

    Please…no more apples!

    September 30, 2008 - By 

    I’m done…I can’t do it any more. We processed 3 grocery bags full of apples. My husband was very helpful on Sunday by peeling nearly 2 bags worth before noon. The afternoon was spent making sauce. And then again Monday and Tuesday. My collar bone/shoulder connection got very sore!! (Childhood injury, that gets aggravated from repetitive motion.)

    I can’t even begin to guess how much berry applesauce is in my freezer! Gallons and gallons of it! It’s so awesome though…nearly free (cost of lemon juice, berries and electricity for the stove).

    I honesty ran out of plastic containers to freeze the sauce in… If I make any more…which I highly doubt…I’ll have to can it. And THAT is SO much more work!

    Now hopefully I can back to ART!!
