Think Pink

Did you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month??

Did you know I have had breast cancer - not once, but TWICE?!?

Back in 1994 a suspicious spot was noticed on a mammogram. It was too tiny to be felt. I had a lumpectomy and radiation.

In 1997 another spot was also found on a mammogram. I had a mastectomy but my lymph nodes were clear so no chemo was required.

Those pesky mammograms are life savers! Early detection is key!!

Here is a card I made for a friend sitting by my Breast Cancer bear.

I had a  mammogram yesterday. Have you had yours??

Thank you for visiting! Please feel free to contact me if you are going through this and would like to talk. I am more than happy to!!

Art in the Park

Just home from setting up our tents for Art in the Park.

This one day show in scenic Rockford, MI has over 60 artists. I will be in the tents with the Rogue River Artists Association. The weather is supposed to be perfect and hoping for great sales.

Here are a few of my works that will be for sale. In addition, I have 48 watercolor cards.

Just busy!

We got to spend some time with the grandkids in Phoenix before my husband starts teaching the fall classes at the college. As you know with a 2 year old and 3 month old, there is not much time for me to sit and have some quiet time.

We did make another set of hand and foot prints to be turned into animals. I also have an art show next weekend so have been readying my cards and paintings.

These will become a duck, a turtle and a whale.

 These are just 9 x 12 watercolors.

 Some of the cards I have completed.

Thank you so much for visiting and all of your kind words.
