Yesterday, I had the pleasure of mailing these packets to two special people.
To Jack Foster who is the lucky winner for the drawing of the 9"x12" pen and ink illustration of the Quercus glauca. It comes with a certificate of authenticity. Congratulations Jack!

Bella Sinclair and I started the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami relief fundraising on April 6th, 2011. To date, we have received direct donation receipts to the American Red Cross Japan Tsunami disaster relief totaling $975.00. Thank you very much to everyone who generously donated and encouraged us in our endeavor.
To my fellow nursing college alumni and friend who made us reach our goal closer by immediately responding to my offer. Thank you dearest Dahlia!!! It was my pleasure to prepare your package of the three double matted ladies! A big smile is etched on my face!

Each double-matted big-haired lady was meticulously illustrated by yours truly on 2.5"x3.5" Bristol Board, then mounted on 8"x10" double mats and finally wrapped on clear protective envelopes. All materials used are acid-free, lignin-free, archival and museum quality. Finally, each was wrapped on semi-gloss Japanese kimono design gift wrapping papers. Each original matted art card illustration comes with a certificate of authenticity. The package also contained a print of Bella's Daruma Doll and an original Quercus glauca art card illustration.
Did I tell you that I secretly wish I work in a gift-wrapping and shipping department?

So where does that lead us? To the $975.00 mark; $25.00 short of the goal I set. So are you willing to take a chance to part with your last $25.00 and give it to the American Red Cross for me?
Say, if you are alone and lost and you see me and I say to you "Come with me" and lead you to this passageway, will you trust me?

This is the last time I am going to offer a surprise.

Hey Ces Darling!!!! How are you?? It's been a long while, but it's only because of work and this relocation. It's been super duper crazy and I didn't forget about you. It's just so busy, busy, busy! I have been seeing your work on face book and let me tell you it's been FABULOUS!!! Oh my goodness how deliciously wonderful. All of it. I loved everything!!!!!
