Birthright

A few weeks ago my crazy, extra large family got together for Easter at Nana and Pappy's house. I'm talking about 40-50 people there, and I think some were missing!!!! We have multiplied you could say! Anyways, my Aunt Rita (mom's twin) was telling me about an organization that she in involved in in Odessa, TX where she lives called Birthright. I googled it, and they have a website that explains their services. It sounds like a wonderful organization that was established quite some time ago to help women through an unplanned pregnancy, offering many different services free of charge. The Odessa chaper was having a silent auction fundraiser, and Rita wondered if I wanted to paint something as a donation to auction off. I said "Surely!!", and came up with this 12x12 painting. I wanted to do something fun that could be used in any situation (not just for a new baby, for example).

Okay. I took the pictures after I had wrapped it in cellophane getting it ready to ship. But, you can still see what it says. Cheetah print wrapping around edges, hot pink center, lime green dots around the circle. Beautiful scripture!

Rita asked me if I had business cards.....which I didn't. She said I should probably attach one in case people were interested in having something painted. So, that's when I was inspired to come up with a name of sorts for what I do. Couldn't think of anything really good at the time, so Sweetie Pie Paintings it is (for now!!). I put my name, number, and blog address on there, just in case!! You never know who may see my work and want to order something!!

All wrapped up with a sweet little ribbon, tied and ready to go. Aunt Rita said that the bidding went well on it and it went to a lady who really wanted it. I am thankful that I got to give a little piece of me to an organization that is such a blessing to women!
