Introducing...Swellheads Bracelets...  I have more coming... but wanted to give you all a peek..I posted a pig and the mouse on my FB page...

ps.... if these have already been thought of.... I AM SOOOO SORRY.... lol

My first dress. I have had the wonderful privilege working along side Larry Moss and Kelly Cheatle this past week on his ArtPrize entry. While they were "tweaking" the last minute details, I started on a dress. The best part was, I was not expecting the model to wear it, but after seeing her accessories, and she seen the dress... well, the rest was history. "THANK YOU SO MUCH LARRY AND KELLY"

Delivered to a local restaurant.

Seen one similar to this guy somewhere... not even sure where.. but always wanted to try creating one:

Then had to add a mask to  him...

I am going to be creating Falcor  - for an event next month and I am not having much luck with his face. Has anyone created the White fuzzy Falcor from The Neverending Story? Any help suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
Cathy

I posted this in the marketing during a resession, but thought it should have been posted here.  

This is a likeness....to our local radio morning guy... hope he likes it.

I have always had a passion for bringing smiles to faces... young and old. Most of the things I did were related to Vacation Bible School... or just my kids as I grew older. In 2003 my life hit not just one iceberg, but several. 2003 started off very rocky - I was downsized (which happens when a company gets a new CEO and you were the exec secretary to the "OLD" one). April 2003, my son was deployed overseas, I lost interest in clowning and balloons and devoted all my eneregy sending care packages overseas. Then to add to my wonderful year, my marriage ended in October 2003. I moved home and found 2004 - the job market fell in Michigan. But there is always a rainbow after the rain..it happened... it took me by surprise... like nothing I had ever expereinced... and I have never been the same since.

This is the words from McKenna's mom..
Nothing brings a bright spot to your day like a clown!  Sonshine was just that bright spot we needed when our 4 year old daughter was recovering at Mary Free Bed.  Last year, our 4 year old daughter,  Kenna got sick.  She complained of her tummy hurting and she was tripping over her feet a bit so we brought her to the doctor.  The doctor could not find her reflexes so he admitted her to the hospital.

 By the time we got to the hospital, Kenna could barely walk and with in the next 24 hours, Kenna was completely paralyzed. Her heart was racing, her blood pressure was dangerously high and her breathing was shallow. Her internal organs were affected as well.  She was no longer able to digest food properly so she had a feeding tube put in.  She could not even support her own neck.  She was going downhill fast and no one knew what was causing this to happen.    
 
Finally, after more than 48 hours of tests, a neurologist diagnosis her with Guillain Barre Syndrome.  In short, Guillain Barre is a rare autoimmune disorder that can occur after an illness, or vaccination.   Your immune system attacks the covering around the nerves ( Milan sheaths) in your brain and spine so your nerves are exposed and unable to send signals to your brain.  It is very painful and very rare in children under age 5 (1:800,000).  There is no cure but there is a treatment.  
 
 Recovery time is anywhere from several months to 2 years.  Kenna was at Devos Children's hospital for almost a month.  She was then transported via ambulance (since she still could not move) to Mary Free bed where she would have 6 hours a day of intensive therapy for nearly 2 months.  It was a long hard road but God was the source of our strength.  We had one very special visitor who came often to see Kenna, Sonshine D. Clown.  
 
Sonshine would come and play games with Kenna and brighten her and the other children at Mary Free Bed's day!  She even made personal house calls to Kenna's  house when she was able to come home on a week-end.   She would bring balloons, wigs, and funny socks for Kenna to put on.  Kenna thought it was pretty special and soon took ownership of Sonshine calling her "my own clown".   Sonshine's driver, Claudia became a friend Kenna would look forward to seeing along with Sonshine. Their ministry was such a blessing to us during a time when the days can be so long and tedious.  

 On June 22, 2005 Kenna came home from the hospital with a wheelchair and still weak.  I am happy to say that today, she is in school, she is running, playing and even dancing!  She is truly a living example of the power of literally 1,000's of prayers.  She still goes to Occupational and Physical therapy but she is even still getting better all the time!  We are grateful to Sonshine and Claudia for the time that they gave to Kenna.  You two will always hold a special place in our hearts.  ~Amy (Kenna's mom)

I went to visit McKenna on the day they said she took her first 3 steps ... But she didnt stop at 3 when she "walked" for me... she walked the entire length of the therapy room.  

I think Kenna brought me back to life - and I have not stopped twysting since...    

Wanting to grow more I search for groups / forums and others twisters to share and uplift.  Thank you for this site.
