You have been tagged

Having been tagged means I must tag 7 others who will in turn tell 7 little know facts about themselves and then tag 7 others.

We have a new member over in BAD and her name is Pam-- true to our fun nature over there I will tag her- Pam, you have been tagged! Hmm that one was easy who else needs to be tagged????
JJ- ,Rosalie- Oh I know Pat Winter and naow I have to tag three more. This is much harder than it looks! I hope my tagged folks are going to have an easier time with this. I did go and see Gretchen's blog and thought I would tag her while I was there.

I guess I am only gonna get to tag 5, the others I had in mind have already been tagged.

Thanks for playing and I hope you enjoy looking at my altered cd and a collar I am working on. The collar was inspired by and will include a cross that was gifted to me by Barbara Judy. Thanks Barbara, I told you I was going to have to do something special with it! I think this definately qualifies!

Have a blessed day!

Tag I'm it!

I have just been tagged by a dear friend, Aryd'ell, you can see her blog here: http://http//gypsysramblings.blogspot.com/ According to the rules I must tell seven little known things about myself.
1) I was diagnosed with Mild Cerebral Palsy and was treated for foot deformations until I was eight years old. I am going strong and walking more than you think by the Grace of God.
2) I attribute all my artistic talent to the calling God has on my life, to share His love and creative nature with others.
3) I clean when I get mad- and when I am on the phone. I also watch TV when I fold laundry otherwise I don't watch it at all. My house is usually in a state of mild disarray unless I have been upset and need to blow off steam or have been chatting on the phone way too long!
4) I am still able to put my feet behind my head- I have no idea why that would be fun to do anymore though.
5) I am very particular about my art work to the point of wearing myself out over it-but I find it is all worth it when it is all done. To really put yourself into a peice will shine when others view or even receive it as a gift.
6) I only started beading because I needed a hobby that would take longer to finish projects once I started them. I became too fast to sew up a bunch of stuff and became really bored. I could make a doll and her clothes in just two days. At that rate there were to many dollies and not enough little girl. Then I saw Sherry Serafini's work on the front of a Bead and Button Magazine (Dec 03) and I was convinced that beadwork could be more than the geometric Native American beadwork that most people think of when you bring it up. I have been teaching myself how to use beads to create art that depicts the Love of God in so many ways. Whether it is a doll depicting scripture or a handmade gift given to someone who needs encouraging, or to be blessed by His riches, I have been blessed to be an" instrument of His Peace".
7) I want to have a goat again to milk-- I miss my milkers- they are so sweet and a much better pet than a dog! They actually give back to the family.
I will go and "tag me some people" when I am done with dinner and the other chores. I also have to some pictures to load and post -- if my connection will let me this time. I sure would like to get around to posting more often!
I am so blessed to have so many people encouraging me each day-- Have a blessed day!

Pink Ribbon Turtle tickets are on sale now!

The “Pink Ribbon Turtles” Drawing is in its fourth year. The drawing was begun in 2005 in memory of my mother, Nina Isabelle Etheredge Fritz, and in honor and memory of all of those who have been affected by Breast Cancer.
I’m proud to announce that this year there are three “Pink Ribbon Turtles”. One of the turtles has been designed and created by artist Jena M Tuntas.

The other two turtles are a collective effort of 8 different extremely talented beadwork artists. The sale of tickets will begin on October 1st and continue until the drawing dates. The drawing for “Jewels of the Sea” by artist Jena M Tuntas will be held on Sunday, November 30, 2008 at bead store “All Strung Out” in Cocoa Beach, Florida.
The drawing for the other two turtles “Ling” and “Kameko” will be held on Friday, December 12, 2008. For those who read Beadwork Magazine, this is a change of the date stated in the October/November 2008 Issue of Beadwork Magazine.
For more information about making donations, obtaining tickets for the drawings, and where to see these beautiful works of art in person, please click “Pink Ribbon Turtles”.
Thank you for your donations.

I have added photos of these beautiful peices in the order that they were mentioned. I had a lot of fun and was richly inspired by the hearts and craftsmanship of these wonderful turtle's artists. I have been blessed by this project and I know others will be blessed by your participation in the raffle, donations and even your prayers. Thank you!
