Art Auction


In Denver next week there is an art auction to benefit one of my favorite charities, Children's Heaven. So, I've been putting together some things to auction off so I can get them mailed tomorrow. First was a picture book of Ethiopia, for children born there. The last page is blank so the high bidder can personalize it with the child's photo. I just finished this shadow box of a woman pulling thread. I lined it with a scarf like the one her family made from the thread she is working on. I also want to do some scrap book pages - just the elements, for people who have been there. One page will be round houses, one weaving, one cooking, that sort of thing, with some paper and accessories to go with the photos. I hope people like my items and the bid them up.

Thank you thank you thank you!!! That is so beautiful, and it is so generous of you to send us stuff. I know Hanna is so grateful and I just hope that we can raise a ton of money for her.

Hello Heidi, I'm heading to Ethiopia in three weeks and I'd like to speak with you about your experiences there. I have some ideas to help out Hanna's cause and I'd love to run them by you.

Would you mind calling me? 303.596.3432. I would totally appreciate it!

Thanks in advance,
