Sorry for the neglect, but Becky's doctors found some brain tumors and we've been extra busy all of a sudden. She is now recovering from brain surgery where some wonderful brain surgeons removed the largest of her three tumors. Tomorrow she is being moved to rehab where they will help her get back some movement on her left side and they are anticipating radiation on the other two brain tumors in 2 weeks. She may have lost some of her left side, but her sense of humor is still fully intact. (which is up there with Mike when ranking her most valuable assets right now.)

In regards to our wonderful auction (wonderful because of you guys, not because I'm all braggy or anything.) There are a few items that are unclaimed. I am not sure if they are people that have paid but not left a note or if they just have missed the end of the auction. I don't think I know them personally so I am having a hard time figuring out ways to contact them. Maybe you can all help me? If I can't solve the mystery by the end of the week, we will let the 2nd highest bids take the cake. Ok, here goes:

Dottie: Summer Family Tree

Laurie Chalk: Miche Purse

Katrina: 3 Elephants Vinyl Wall Art

Kathy: Much Ado Gift Certificate, Shower Puffs

you are a winner!

Congratulations and thank you. Not only are you a winner, but you are also incredibly wonderful for helping Becky's family during this marathon trial. Thank you. Please follow the donate button (paypal) to pay for your items. In the comment section of your payment, include your address, email address and the items you are paying for so we can forward it onto the business that donated. We have enjoyed this last week, watching bidding wars and the outpouring of generosity. I cannot say thank you enough, but THANK YOU. This auction has raised far more than expected and has been a blast to be part of. With your help, we have raised $1790 for the Veatch Family. Thank you. (again. and again. and again. did I tell you how wonderful you all are?)

Cooling Breeze Notecard Set

Cooling Breeze Notecard Set

from Laughing Horse

This note card is from a painting called "Cool Breezes". This reflects every child's dream of having a pony. The mood is dreamy and the setting is very nostalgic-a beautiful sunny landscape.

The lithographic card measures 4 1/2" x 6 1/4" and is blank on the inside. It is on museum quality acid free paper.

Included in the 6 card boxed set are matching envelopes. The lid of the box is transparent to show the front of the top card and tied with a ribbon (colors may vary). Each card will be lovingly hand signed in gold.

Art Print: America's Favorite City

Art Print: America's Favorite City

from Laughing Horse

San Francisco has always been known by the nickname "America's Favorite City" and for good reason. No other city in the U. S. has the same feel to it-one of romance and intrigue. The print depicts the famous California Street. If you look closely there are all the well known characters such as "shopping lady", "exercise man", sea gulls, and many other memorable images.

A complicated painting process was used. First a brilliant under painting was applied. After that layer upon layer of color give each area a unique and vibrant feeling.

This open edition print is printed on museum quality paper and will fit in with any color scheme. The size is 15 1/2" x 20 1/2". Each print is hand signed in gold by the artist. It will look stunning with just about any colored mat and looks fabulous in many types of frames.

There are also note cards and postcards available. Please contact me by email at skoobit [!at] msn.com (for some reason the "at" symbol is not printing right...so type in the usual symbol for "at") if you are interested

It will be carefully wrapped in paper and mailed in a crush proof mailing tube.

Custom Children's Silhouette

Custom Children's Silhouette

from Hugs and Kisses

always wanted a custom silhouette of your child's profile? well, look no more. you'll receive a 5x7 print - perfect for framing!

what i need from you: a photo sent to me of your child standing in profile position. (send to hugsandkissesdesigns [at] gmail [dot] com) have your child stand (or sit) in front of a plain wall with good posture. have your child wear a shirt that doesn't hide their neck. & try to get the shoulder area in the photo and make sure to not cut off the top of the head! if the photo is of a girl, make sure her hair is in a bun or ponytail. if the girl has shorter hair, it should be fine down. if her hair is longer and it's left down, there's no definition of the neck/hair area. if for some reason your photo won't work, i'll get back with you and we'll try to resolve the problem. if it turns out that we can't get it figured out, i'll refund you.

printed on matte photo paper. finished piece is 5" x 7" and perfect for framing.
