Madi Won!!

A local Radio Station WFMD 930 had a coloring contest that Madi entered through Artomatic. She was chosen as the winner! WFMD runs an amazing program called Cash for Kids that helps to raise money to purchase toys for children at Christmas. The program is in coordination with the Salvation Army. To find out more about how you can help, visit their website AM 930 WFMD.

They created 100 T shirts using Madi's great coloring design. Here she is modeling it. She was invited to go to the studio to pick up her T shirt and be interviewed on the air! It was a very exciting day. Here are a few photos:

They did a video of the interview which will be posted on the website some time in the future. She did a great job. I was a very proud Mommy!

It was really fun to visit the radio studio and for her to be on the air. We also took a little tour of the station and got to visit the phone center for Cash For Kids collections. You would not believe how many toys there were lined up against all the studio walls.

When the video link comes up, I'll include the link in the post. Thanks for stopping by!

Ryan's Photography Part 2

I thought since I'm crazy busy making and selling jewelry for the holidays, I would share more of my son Ryan's photography. Enjoy!

 As you can see my daughter Madi was more than happy to pose for his portrait collage.

I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Charm Bar

I wanted to share the awesome Charm Bar that my sister made for me. I just used it at a show this week and it worked like a charm! If you'd like to see how she created this cool display, check out her blog post on Where the Grass is Greener. I have lots of Charms listed in my Etsy shop if you are looking for any holiday gift ideas. They make great teacher gifts.

Here are a few new ones I just made:

I spent the afternoon today taking photos of new jewelry pieces for my Etsy shop. I'll be listing new pieces everyday this month, so be sure to hop over for a visit to the shop.

Enjoy your day!

Artomatic 2!

At the request of my daughter Madi, I am posting a few more photos from Artomatic. There were so many amazing pieces of art, that I just kept taking photos. I ran out of time editing and writing on Tuesday for the Artisans of the Month post, so I thought I'd share a few more photos with you.

Josie's Art

This exhibit was really fun for the kids, they got to draw a picture and put it in the glass box under the displayed art. In the month of November The Blue Elephant Art Center will display their work. We'll have to take a visit there and check it out.

My son Ryan and I visited Artomatic one last time yesterday. He is taking a digital photography class, so he really enjoyed all of the different photographers work. Sorry to see the exhibit come to an end, but I really did enjoy it. Hope you enjoyed the artwork!
