Here are some pictures taken during some community service we did in New Orleans, in the Gentilly area.  My team painted a whole house, yellow and green, it was great, looked like a whole new house when we were done.

Going to the Big Easy...

This Sunday I leave for a week in New Orleans.

I've never been and am very excited to see all the sights and sounds the town has to offer.  I will also be taking some time to see what has been done since the wake of Katrina.

While I am there I will be doing some training for work, but we will also be working with local organizations to rebuild homes in the area as well.  This is what I am most excited about.

Isn't it amazingly sad that after 3 years there is still so much to be done.  I sit here and say this, but other than donating some money, I haven't gotten off my butt to DO anything yet.  I will next week, and I am glad.

Handcrafted...

many moons ago.

This once belonged to my grandmother, and I received it as a gift on my 30th birthday last month.  So beautiful.

My newest drawings for class

okay so any and all comments are appreciated, CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is welcome as well....  these were both done by me in my drawing class...I still have a lot to learn!

 I really like how the pears came out, and I am gonna frame and put it in the house somewhere.  The koi have a way to go still.  There is something missing, and I am sure I will figure something out, but right now it is still a work in progress.

Tie Dye Trial and Error

I think I must have been 13 the last time I tie dyed anything!  That was until Sunday.  I have a big convention coming up at the end of the month for work, and we will be doing a great big community service project while we are there.  My boss thought it would be a great idea if we had matching shirts for that special day....a team thing.

We all really had a good time, and the shirts didn't come out half bad...for tie dye.    

2 Angels...

and one very naughty doggie.
