good stuff!

I have a shop here:
http://blackbird72.etsy.com

So, I'm asking you as a fellow creative kindred people, to help me to reach out and ask others to sponsor, donate and or have people in my area to walk with me in the MS Walk 2008 at the Rose Bowl on April 6th, 2008. It's not a race, it's a 5K(3 mile) walk, if I can do it, so can others ;) This event is family friendly with food at the finish line.

I refuse to let it get the best of me, my life or those I love! grrrrr! LOLOLOL

I have set aside certain pieces in my shoppe where a portion of the sales will go directly towards my team goal of $5,000.

I submitted an article to my best friend, Vanessa Holt, the Managing Editor of The Bordentown Register News in New Jersey(my hometown), and she published it.

To view it go to the link:

I volunteered my services last year to help in photographing the event, yes, i walked AND shot pictures!

Happily I will be doing the same again this year:)

So please, I need help, for donations, team members, anything, nothing is too small or large :D

Help this Blackbird to fly!

i have so much to think about today.

i recently got some sad news mixed in with positive news from a good friend. in her case it's hard to be positive, yet she is doing just that. when she reads this blog, she will know that i find her a true inspiration :)

today, i sold 2 sets of postcards for my ms walk fundraising. a portion of the sales from the ms walk section of my shop will go towards it.

i'm exhausted, yet i feel like i accomplished a lot. yesterday i decided that i will finally do weddings. people have told me for years that i should, good money and that i would be very good at it.

so i revamped my site(again) and added a wedding section(with prices), added maternity photos from a session, and raised my portrait session fees.

i still don't have a new printer, yet tomorrow i meet with the tax lady, so i'm being positive :D

tonight is a full lunar eclipse, it's hard to see from where we live as its pretty cloudy, but from what i can see, it's just gorgeous :D

this makes me happy and it will make you happy too!



Peace and Many Blessings!
