Art and Cloth for a good cause.... oh my I forgot to eat.... taking care of that now!!

Participating all day in the most awesome fundraiser in art and cloth... and what a better way to help some friends and neighbors struggling after the storm... I am glad that every little bit counts and we were able to assist a few families in need auctioning off some awesome pieces of our talents...

.. now my feet are tired ... off to a hot meal a hot bath and to bed ... I sewed/altered/fitted/wrapped/painted and sketched all.day.long ... now my eyes are tired and I am looking  drawn BUT my heart is so content the feeling is exhilarating... and I forgot to eat ... but I am about to have an awesome warm meal prepared by my awesome DH who can at times be a royal PITA LOL...

Some pics ... because I love art and I love cloth and I love love love Africa as much as I love America my adopted country and Panamá my land of origin... my awesome gowns are gifts from Africa motherland bought to me by my friend Fatu ... whenever she comes back from Africa it is a festivity in cloth ... for me and for others ... what an AWESOME and fulfilling day.... 

Back home at last...

and having a hard time with my wrap on my short cropped hair... so I'm gonna wear it around my waist and play it safe...

Thanks for allowing me to share another goofy thread .. the second one today .... off my soapbox and taking a hot shower and going to bed ... enough picture aw'ing for a day LOL .... I am just so happy we raised enough to help others out ... because we are keepers one of another and every little bit counts ... I am happy I was able to use my goofy talent to help my friends out a little bit...

Gorgeous outfits and beautiful artwork in the background.  What a wonderful way to spend your day...in service of others in need.  You are truly a blessing!

Thank you Janet... others have been such a blessing to me that I just cannot forget ... like you are a blessing right now! Thanks for your encouragement and support ... I just NEED to go to sleep LOL ... that hot bath has me wired and eating later than usual did not help ... So I am going to lay out my clothes for church tomorrow while I am up ... 

For my journal entry today 11/4/12 I will  just incorporate my pictures from yesterday and last night ,,, from my digital empowerment journal 'A Picture a Day Keeps the Pounds and the Inches Away' on my walk away from morbid obesity FOR_EVER.. I see it, I feel it, I live it... one day at a time... one choice at a time ... it is worth it ... living my life like it's golden ... incorporating arts and ideas with healthy lifestyle, nutrition, exercise and SERVICE ... because we are keepers ... one of another ... commanded to love each other despite our difference .. 'love and like are not to be confused' ... DIVERSITY ROCKS! and now I am UP and ready to tackle another day ... WOOT for the extra hour .... starting with an early morning run in the brisk and crispy cold air....
