And the winner is......

My sister Megan!!

She has always been creative, but I've noticed since her latest condition (of pregnancy) she has been in one big creative spurt! This manifests itself in picture mail of adorable things (I feel bad that all i send her is pictures of me on the toilet with bills at my feet and kids crawling up my legs... probably i won't post that one!)

so i let her know that in honor of her many accomplishments, I have made her the winner of the Mother of the Year Award! Congrats Meg, you deserve it! (below are qualifying submissions)

If you would like to nominate someone for this prestigious honor, send me their portfolio and I too can photoshop an original award to been seen by all their passers by!

Auction for Harry Randall Benefit

Those of you that know the Randall family are asking what you can do to help! ? And those of you that don't know them are asking, what's going on?

Our friend Shannan and her husband Monti gave birth to a beautiful 8 pound boy last Sunday after emergency c-section. The cord came first which is the baby's lifeline to not only food but oxygen and blood. The doctors and Phoenix Childrens Hospital did all that they could, and after many tears, prayers and medical life saving measures the machines were turned off on Friday, and he was returned safely to heaven on Friday afternoon.

This was supposed to be a time of rest and relaxation for the family, but that was not meant to be. They are reeling, emotions are raw, and the funeral expenses were not expected.

This is were you come in. "WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP?"

This Thursday through Saturday (hopefully many) blogs will be hosting online auctions to raise money to cover the funeral expenses, and time off work for the family.

If you will be hosting an auction or would like to donate an item email me at shannanrandall@gmail.com

I will have a list here of all the places you can shop!
