Thanks for the help

I would like to thank those of you that made either purchases or twittered, blogged or helped in any way you could to help my friend. I appreciate your participation and hope I can count on you again in the future if this need should arise again.

Thanks!

Helping hands helping heavy hearts...

As we all know many of our friends, family and our world in general have hit hard times due to the ever looming economy. At times like these we all need to feel that our own lives are safe and secure. What would you do if your situation was not like everyone else? Do you run and hide? Do you ask for help? What would you do? I have been in this place and you do hide until it gets so hard that there is nothing else you can do but ooze anger, fear and frustration at your situation and everyone around you.

We have a situation, many of us artists trying to sell our wares in an economic state of affairs where all disposable income has dried up like the drought last summer in the Southern US. Orders have dried up. Buyers have said that they can't make purchases because their overall sales are down or they are going out of business. Customers are saying how beautiful your work is but don't have the funds to make a purchase right now. They will keep you in mind and take your business card for future reference. The lack of sales make it difficult to stay focused and motivated. This makes it difficult for those of us that depend on this income, and this may be an artists only income. This is the case for myself and many others.


Now I am going to the real important part of my message today. I would like to see how many of you could help me help someone with a heavy heart. I am not asking you to part with your hard earned money for nothing I am asking you to help my friend, a fellow artist and a Mom with babies that creates these beautiful items with her own hands to make a living. Please visit one of her following sites:

I would really appreciate all of you to take the time to stop by any or all of her sites to see if you can find something that would brighten your day and help a heavy heart. In a week I would love to come back and let all of you know how many of you helped someone in need, lightened the load and helped an artist continue her beautiful craft.

Thanks for stopping by!
