1209/08 UPDATE: All but two of the Twelve Days of Christmas inchie collections have sold! :::happy dance::: I will have an update tomorrow as to how much money we raised for the Lupus Foundation of America after I've paid the listing fees. I am awaiting payment from two people and hope to get the other two (2) sold (contact me if you want one!) so that I can make the donation by this weekend.

In case you didn't hear, our first auctions raised $372.50 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure! And I am thrilled that we have gotten such wonderfully compassionate support from everyone! There is a lot more to come and I look forward to working with all of our artists again soon. I am proud and blessed of the collective of creatives we have and continue to add to. Thank you all for everything you do!

The site is coming along nicely in between college homework and client work. Sadly, the paying gigs always come first. Funny how real life always gets in the way of your art time! :) I will be posting updates to our email list, Flickr, and here as I go. If I am lucky :::crosses fingers::: I will be launching our new site this weekend. O_O Keep your eyes here for updates!
