Be An Angel....

A Sharlie's Angel!

Many of you may remember my post about Sharlie recieving the great news that she was accepted at Stanford to get a new heart and a new set of lungs. Well if you don't remember you can click here.

Well many of Sharlie's Angels have rallied and helped fundraise for her next BIG miracle. You can check out her fundraising page here. There have been lemonade stands, craft sites, a benefit called Air supply you can read all about those on Sharlie's blog which is titled Sharlie's Angels. I know she feels that everyone in her life is truly an angel but in reality she is our angel. We are all SO blessed and SO lucky to know her and I know she inspires many each day including myself.

I wanted to help out to in some way, so after brainstorming some ideas I came up with an idea to paint a Sharlie's Angels painting. I thought I would auction it off on my blog and all proceeds would go towards Shar's transplant. So below is a close up of the painting and a description...

This painting is titled Sharlie's Angels and it is painted with acrylic paints and on a 16x20 canvas. Here's a close up pic of it....

So the highest bidder will receive this 16x20 painting. You have until Dec 1st to bid, that way I can get it in the mail in case you want to give it as a Christmas gift. Just leave a comment or email mail me at somer@lovetobreathe.com with your bid. I will update this blog post to let you know what the bid is at every day unless the bid remains the same.

I will start the bidding at $100. Good Luck and Happy Bidding! Xo

Bid is now at $500 back to Jason. 2 min left!!!  Bidding will close tomorrow at 5pm Mountain time.


Closed~~~~~ Congrats Jason!!! Thank you for helping Sharlie with her transplant. Consider yourself one of Sharlie's new Angels :)

Tick Tock

turned one of my Love to Breathe paintings into a clock....

Make Every Breath Count

"Sometimes we're so busy worrying about what will kill us, that we forget how to truly live"

I saw this on Face Book and had to re post it on my status and here. I needed to see this!! I have been a hermit lately due to the whole swine thing. No thanks to the media and the fact that it's everywhere! So I cut myself off from all forms of media. I still have not been able to get the vaccine. I am hoping that tomorrow I will be able to get it. Fingers crossed! So only positive healthy thoughts, washing my poor 90 year old hands, purelling like crazy, sporting masks in overly crowded areas and gargling with salt water, sinus rinses and lots of hot drinks and with all those precautions the swine can kiss my A** ;)

I have a lil sinus thing going on and am not liking it one bit how does a hermit get sinus troubles?? I started TOBi on Mon so maybe that brought it out who knows. I can guarantee you tho I am fighting it with full force it doesn't stand a chance! By the way I love gargling with hot apple cider vinegar. I swear it helps break stuff up in the sinuses maybe TMI but I got a couple petrified plugs out when I did this the other day :) Gotta love getting rid of plugs!

I have been painting a ton!! I have been branching out and experimenting a lil having a ton of fun with it. I'll post some of them on here. Today I'll leave you with...

I still need to grout it and my fabric hasn't come yet but it's moving along.....

Congrats Christy!

Congrats Christy you are now the proud owner of this Love to Breathe painting. You are starting quite the collection. :)

Christy just headed a wine tasting event for the CFF. I sent one of my paintings to her fundraiser, and she was the high bidder on that one too :) Go check out her blog she is the proud momma of two beautiful lil girls and a fur baby named Eddie, her oldest Mackenzie has CF. Christy is doing all she can to make CF stand for Cure Found!!

Blogging Auction

Ok after all your requests to do this I thought I would oblige... I had a very hard time choosing which painting to put on here, so I may just have to do this again :)

This is a Love to Breathe painting and it is on a 16x20 gallery wrapped canvas so you can hang it as is, it doesn't need to be framed.  You can bid on it by leaving a comment and who ever is the highest bidder on Wed March 25th will be the proud owner. I'll start the bidding price at $75 a portion of the proceeds will go to the CFF. Last year Love to Breathe raised over $5,000 for the CFF. Remember 90 cents of every dollar goes to funding research for that sought after cure.... Happy bidding :)

Out of My Realm

So a year after my friend requested me to paint a painting for her I finally did! Her Bday is on LOVE day, so I thought it would make the perfect Bday gift. There was a human involved and I am not that great at the human body especially the hands and face. So here is the painting that she wanted.... 

One of the tribal tattoos is even a L2B sign (love to breathe) 

"Love to Breathe" paintings

Here are a couple of my "Love To Breathe" paintings the lighting isn't very good when I snapped the shots but you get the idea... 

For all you Pug Lovers....

Ok so I promised I would post some of my artwork on here and I thought why not start by posting the paintings of my babies. I did these two paintings last Jan. They are hanging in my hallway..... Enjoy!
