Throughout the United States the Race for The Cure has begun. This weekend some dear friends are running/walking in support of the Susan G. Komen Foundation in Indianapolis, Indiana. My friends are survivors and dedicated to supporting this cause. So many of our lives have been touched by someone suffering from and/or someone who has passed away from this dreadful disease. As difficult as these times are for so many, financially, my friends have worked diligently and surpassed their goals for this year. I am in awe of their dedications and enthusiasm. If you feel so inclined click here Susan G. Komen to donate. I did what seems like such a small part in the scheme of things but every bit helps.
My friends also asked if I had designed more Breast Cancer Awareness cards. I love their spunky spirits! and am honored to be asked. Here are two designed for 2011. 10% of the sales of these cards go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
Breast Cancer Awareness, #291

Recently I subscribed to Kate Harper’s Blog. What a fun and creative person she is. Kate is a very successful greeting card designer and she collects mail art from around the world based on the theme: “Imaginary Word, Imaginary Definition”. If you would like to participate . . . Your Goal: Make up an imaginary word and make up a definition for it, and make it into a piece of art. Normally I don’t take the time for things like this but I love looking at her art and for whatever reason “Flutterby” popped into my head along with a definition. Here is what I sent her. It appeared on her blog today.
"Flutterby" Card submitted to Kate Harper
I probably should have added: “until one of you is exhausted enough to fall asleep.”
KATE’S OFFER: For anyone who sends her mail art on this theme, she will mail you a piece of her mail art.
Mail your mail art to:
Kate Harper Mail Art, POB 2112, Berkeley CA 94702
Remember to include your return address if you want mail art sent back to you.
Here is what I received from Kate today. How fun!

I wish you Health
So you may enjoy each day in comfort
I wish you the love of friends and family
And peace within your heart
I wish you the Beauty of nature
That you may enjoy the work of God
I wish you wisdom to choose priorities
For those things that really matter in life
I wish you generosity so you may share
All good things that come to you
I wish you happiness and joy
And blessings for the New Year
