Weekend Recap....

First off the weekends go way to quickly. Saturday aside for the usual running around to stores (food shopping, farmers market, butcher) I got a hair cut (trim) and on the way home I was a huge sign "going out of business 10-30%off" I was shocked to see that it was Linens and things! I know I couldn't believe it either.

Needless to say I stopped in. Of course everything I really wanted was only 10%off so to me it wasn't really a bargain. I need a good 50% off. I did however pick up some towels cheap, a new runner for the hallway and a new pillow for Chris (Joe's middle son)

Zoey bean got a bath. Now she's sparkley fresh.


Sunday I did some painting. Started a custom order and worked on some new stuff which I hope to post here and get in the shop this week. Other than that a pretty quiet weekend which is how I LOVE it.

TTFN

Just a quick hello...

Just popping in to say "hi" and show off some new creations. I have so many new ideas going through my head it's hard to get them all out, but I hope to have some new stuff created and posted by the weekend.

This weekend we are going to P.F.Changs for a Birthday dinner. Joe's father turns 80 and doesn't look a day over 60. The man is amazing. We are all looking forward to some yummy food.

Ok back to my creations LOL. First was a custom order. Violet of the Incredibles


Next is a name canvas. I painted Marie of the aristocats. You can personalize this sign with a name or phrase. I love the shape. It's painted on all sides. You can hang it or display on a shelf.




Both are available at Bedknobsnbroomsticks.

Please Join me in supporting Autism Awarness

I was fortunate enough to learn about Amy and her beautiful daughter Felicity through a fellow The Design Vine member Candy of sobellacreations Please take the time to read all about Amy and Felicity and this wonderful program....
(I'll be donating a few painted suprises for a wonderful Masquerade Fundraiser being thrown by Son-Rise Program. )



Felicity was diagnosed at 12 months of age and we were told by the doctors and professionals she would never talk and would forever stay in 'her little world' with no hope of us contacting her - ever! They said put her in a 'special school' and maybe they could teach her to 'cope' with the world.......
As any parents, or anyone with a child in their life would know - that just wasn't good enough for us so we searched for a better option and have finally found an amazing program - The Son-Rise Program run by The Autism Treatment Centre of America.
We have been working with Felicity in The Son-Rise Program™ for 2 years now and for the first time in her life she is using words and wanting to engage in social activities with those around her - it's so exciting to watch. She called my hubby Dad for the first time in 7 years just a few weeks ago!!!! take a look HERE at Felicity now. Playing in the backyard with her dad and using her new word 'UP' over and over!
My family and I live in Sydney, Australia and sadly this amazing program is not available here, so we must travel to the United States for the four separate training courses and further development of Felicity's program - but as I'm sure you could understand this is expensive.


We, along with two other families with Autistic children, Hannah and Blake, are holding a HUGE, Masquerade Ball fundraising event - Behind The Mask Of Autism - in mid November this year and would love if we could get your help!
We are asking that you please consider donating something in the form of a item that we can include into a themed (kids, ladies, men's etc etc) hamper/basket from to be auctioned on the night and help us in creating a night 'not to be missed' for our special children.
We have built a web site, www.intellectualdisability.org with further details on the event, the children you would be helping and their Program for you to understand exactly what an amazing gift you would be giving.
Your stores will be mentioned on the night and will be in a 'take home' pack that all who come will receive as well as being mentioned in local papers who are doing both pre and post articles about the event.
Please feel free to contact me with any further questions.
All of the three families and I thank you in advance for your consideration.

Yours Sincerely,
Amy

Alice is here from Wonderland!

A favorite read and movie from my childhood was Alice in Wonderland. It was so fun to get lost in her adventures in that magical place where she meets alot of interesting characters and creatures along the way. If you don't know, Tim Burton is set to bring to the big screen this magial tale. Johnny Depp is supposed to play the Mad Hatter, just that tid bit alone I know the movie is going to be fantastic!

Here is my tribute to Alice and her Wonderland friends.... Available at BedknobsnBroomsticks
