    ART NOW FOR AUTISM

    May 14, 2008 - By 

    I came across this a couple weeks ago, bookmarked it and totally forgot. I do that more than I’d like to admit.
    Check out the website here at www.artnowforautism.com 100% of the proceeds from the sale will go to Autism Speaks.

    I’m planning on sending off these 2 pieces that I’ve made over the past few years.

    This is a cause VERY near to my heart. Our boy has Asperger’s Syndrome, which is on the autism spectrum. He is doing extremely well these days. We are so proud of him and how far he has come. People who knew him as a preschooler can hardly believe that the 8yr old in front of them is the same child.

    Fusion papers

    May 11, 2008 - By 


    I got my workout and shower in, so then it was playtime!

    I haven’t made fusion paper for ages mainly because I don’t have enough time to make it and have it dry somewhere before little “helping hands” get to it. It’s very breezy today and with the strong sun, I figured they should dry pretty quickly outside.

    Happy Mother’s Day

    May 11, 2008 - By 


    What a treat this morning, I got up and had a peaceful cup of coffee *all by myself*.

    Then my sweet boy came with his gift he made at school. He’s been very patient this year and was able to keep the gift a secret. They made an accordian fold book with pockets that held all kinds of goodies. Coupons for chores, a funny poem, a recipe for love and a bag of tea.

    Actually, I waited to open my gift from him and my little girl’s hand colored card until all 4 of us were present. Hubby cleaned up the kitchen this morning and is taking the kids to his folks house for a visit today. More peace and quiet… I think I’ll go workout, come home and shower then go play with some paints, glue and paper.
