Happy PINK SATURDAY

Please visit the Katillacshack to celebrate fellowship and recovery - this special PINK SATURDAY.  They did a room makeover for Collette Gaultier's cancer treatment and enlightened her world in a scary time.  See the whole story and visit Kelee's Katillacshack.
I showed you my brothers shop last week BUT I forgot to share his business card:

created by a friend for him!  Isn't it the bomb!

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY and thanks to Beverly for hosting!  and all the other supportive things she does for others!
Please follow our traveling postcard with a message - this should be fun!
cheers, dana

Giant Post Card with a Message ready to start journey...

It is rough - it is our base to start from!  I soooooooooo wanted to keep going on this board. 

                               Just like us, the Aquabord we are using is made in the USA! 

It is 8 X10 so - yes - a giant postcard BUT the challenge is adding your touch without taking over BECAUSE the piece MUST move on to the next artist!!!

the message... Make Art - Make Friends. 
I have labeled the piece on the back with the message - you may choose to add it to front when it gets to you - or not - this is truly freelance and all six of us will generate this experience!!!

Off to the post office - sending to Kelly at Tales from the South first - she inturn will send to Anna at Frosted Petunias...to Wendy at Bliss Angels ... to Debbie at I am Simply Debbie... to Penny at Palaver from Pellie and then returning to me for printing! and putting together your travel journal packets!!!  Can't wait to see the completed project!
cheers, dana

MAIL FROM SWITZERLAND

You all know I LOVE SNAIL MAIL so when the envelope came from Switzerland I couldn't wait to open it!!  Margaret and I traded some ATC's and I couldn't be happier!  I am late in posting them and a huge THANK YOU FOR THE EXPERIENCE as I was having my photo drama.   She sent all these extras too!   I can't wait to use them .  I am doing a couple pieces for my Sept. 12th art gathering and am excited to incorporate some of her items.  I am even saving the envelope she sent them in to have the postmarks!  It was a great trade and her support during my mess was much welcomed - as with all of you in my blogland world. 

"Feiern" means celebrate in German - how appropriate as I celebrated getting my photos back!

I think I will frame these on my inspirational board! Thank you again Margaret!  Margaret hosts the dress challenge - check it out!  You won't believe how awesome these dresses are!
cheers, dana

frou-frou friday...

Here are my most frou-frou shoes... I wear them at my art shows, so Sept. 12th, I will have them on -more than likely.  I love these shoes - Steve Madden.  I spotted them while christmas shopping a couple years ago with Mark... was crazy over them... they showed up under the tree!!!  I love this guy, he pays attention to the little things in life!

I have determined though, I don't have enough Frou-Frou to Frow about - so.... I will become an observer of all Connie's frills!  I just love looking at all the girly girl stuff everyone comes up with!  Frills are thrills!
cheers, dana

Sidetracked in a major way

Still looking for my photos - I'm calling in help, just not able to find them on my own.  But this past weekend I completed with my husband -a motorcycle safety course.  I found it super challenging and couldn't believe I could actually ride!  Mark, my husband, has a Harley and I want to be able to share is love of riding.  So, here she is my new bike!  Well, new to me, no - not a Harley (sorry) - but I love her!!!! She is a classic though - 1986 Honda 450 Rebel!!!

Actually got her home and took her for a spin.  I will be practicing alot before really getting out there BUT wow what a feeling!

cheers, dana

now back to the postcard with a message project!

OUR TRAVELING POST CARD WITH A MESSAGE IS...

ready to get started.  Here is our team:
Kelly at Tales from the South - in central Florida
Anna at Frosted Petunias - in sunny California
Wendy at Bliss Angels - in Braselton GA (how weird, I may be going there Oct. 1st)
Debbie at I am Simply Debbie - in Oklahoma
and Penny - my first blog buddy! at Palaver from Pellie ghenghis khat - in Illinois
 Of course, it is starting here in Michigan.  I will be doing a base with the message and each artist will add to the piece - alittle or alot - just remember it needs to move on in 2 weeks. So although, there may seem to be alot of canvas to work with - it can't be completed until the end!  Please keep a journal page as you think - process - create your part of our piece!  The art will go to the next artist on the list but the journal page will come back to me!  I will copy and put them all together so in the end we all have a lasting memory of our experience together!  You will receive your original journal page back too!
I am excited and ready to get to work - I will have the base piece on it's way to Kelly by August 25th!
cheers lady's!!!
