Special Project This Month
There is always a special project going on in our lives at any given time. This month it was related to a cause that is near and dear to our hearts. Every July we figure out creative ways to raise awareness and funds for Kids Cancer Care Foundation. In 2006, we leaned on them for love and support, when our eldest son, Brad, battled cancer. We won our battle; many don't. During that time, they were there, caring and comforting us through childhood cancer. Some families don't get the success story we have, so we continue to fight for a cure for kids with cancer. Over the last 2 weeks Jay peddled his way around SK. He finished his journey yesterdy. Take a look at my Artist FB Page to watch creative videos to bring awareness. Also, if you are inspired and inclined, feel free to support us financially by clicking this link. We are always very grateful for your support.
Monthly Blog
The New Blog: What Do You See, has arrived, and is titled accordingly to my season of life. The 1st edition was published, as promised, July 1st, titled 'Eyes of Your Heart'. That blog discusses how we see with our hearts, and uses two illustrations. One of a digital painting I did, titled: 'Taking Daddy's Hand', and the other of a father and young son enjoying and exploring their walk down my street together. If you haven't read it yet, Click Here. I'd love to hear your thoughts / feedback on it.
Creatively Yours, Diane
Creatives Community Corner
In the spirit of building community and recognizing other gifted souls, I’ll be interviewing fellow Creatives, to highlight their gifts and talents.
The first video interview was completed earlier this month with local SK Artist - Kaitlyn Flis. We caught up to her at Kenosee Lake, where she was displaying her work and many talents at the Artist's Colony in Moose Mountain National Park. In the background you will see water skiis. If you are wondering what they are all about, stay tuned to both meet, and be inspired by, Kaitlyn in our September Edition of 'Creatives Community Corner.'
