The posters and t-shirt have been shipped, and the numbers have been calculated. I am very excited that $2530 gets to go to the Huruma children’s home in Kenya Africa. This project was a great first trial run. and I am very pleased with the result for this first time. Thank you to everyone for ordering, and spreading the word about the project.

A few people have contacted me saying that we were featured in the new collide magazine… and I FINALLY got one in the mail to seee for myself. HAHA. It’s so fun to see a project so dear to my heart featured in a magazine that i deeply respect. I know by now, you guys are probably tired of hearing about Art for huruma. haha. Well it’s almost over. BUT I seriously had so much fun working alongside barton damer and using our gifts and talents for the greater good. I encourage everyone to try a project similar to this, thinking outside the box to give to others with your art. SO fun. It is awesome that a project like this can help bring awareness in a fun way, while giving, using our talents/ abilities, then resulting in actual funds to send to the orphange.

ALRIGHT!!! I am back from seattle and in the dark depths of catching up on emails, planning, designing, photoshoots, and all the crafty sorts. haa. It’s all good though. So it really seemed like you guys like my 5 things post last time. So i decided to do it again today. Again big stars for elsie because i seriously doesnt know how she does it every sunday. GEE WIIZZZ!! haha. Here are the 5 things.

1. I LOVE that i have loved painting since i was little. It’s really cool to go back and look at my life and realize that I am still the SAME person as before. That even when I was 2 or 3 you could see traits in me that i have now. haha. I know that could sound dumb, but stay with me. Things that i had thought had developed over time were really there all along.

One thing is… people laugh at me because i can get over excited about the little things in life… litteraly ooo-ing and awww-ing over chocolate covered macadamia nuts, my favorite song on the radio, a goofy facial expression, or even a victory dance after I toss & score a wad of paper in the recycling bin. Being back at home this week my mom told me that i was ALWAYS excited about everything when i was little. haha. and i still am now. thats funny. Here is a photo of me painting. Check out that style too, right? vintage dress and bracelets. Not to mention the STYLISH HAIR CUT!! hahaha.

2. I scored these white moccasin shoes at Savers for 5 bucks about a year ago. I LOVED them so much. i thought i had lost them, but YAY!!! I found them again in seattle at my parents house. good to have them back. nice and comfy, easy to slip on, and unique.

WOOOHOHOO!!! This thing is really on its way! We seem to be getting a lot of momentum with this project and its making it very exciting!! Check out Barton’s last phase, if you missed it. I just finished up the last design phase for The Art For Huruma project. We have one more step and that is Phase 7. It will essentially be posting the mock up tee and poster print online for sale during August. We will be taking pre-orders in August in an attempt to minimize an overage of extra tees lying around. This will allow us to donate more towards Huruma Children’s Home. If you are new to this blog and have no idea whats going on read full DETAILS HERE.
