Halloween is almost here!

I will be at A Cottage Boutique show tomorrow from 9am to 2pm. Come and see this guy and more new pieces at the show!

There is one day left in the benefit auction for little Ava Grace. Please take a peek at all of the wonderful offerings and bid generously to help out the family cover Ava's rising medical expenses. Thank you to those that have already placed bids! The auction ends tomorrow evening at 6pm Pacific time.

I promised more pictures from the State Fair, and I will post again soon with those, and pictures from my family's trip to Disneyland last week. We had a magical time!

Angels for Brianna Auction starts tomorrow!

I wanted to remind everyone to please stop by the auction site by clicking on the banner above, at 10 am Pacific time tomorrow morning to see all of the lovely offerings from the many generous and talented artists that are participating! We will have about 70 angel themed pieces of art for purchase, and we hope that you will open up your hearts and bid high, to add an angel to your home. :) Below is a sneak peek of my angel. You'll be able to see the entire piece tomorrow. Thank you again to all of the wonderful artists who are participating in this event!! You are all the real angels, and without you this auction wouldn't have become a reality!

New Charm Necklaces!

I have recently finished a few new charm necklaces and thought I would share them with you! These are mini collages that I have mounted in old optical lens's and finished off with a clear resin on the back to protect them. If you are interested in purchasing any of these charm necklaces, please email me at sylvia@sylviaanderson.com for more information.
I hope you all have an enjoyable weekend filled with laughter, family and friends! I am recuperating from surgery that I had two days ago to have my gall bladder removed, so I am taking it easy for a few days, and catching up with some old friends in the way of favorite movies, and magazines of inspiration! My three kitties are keeping me company, and my mom is here entertaining my son Simon. I'm on the road to feeling good again soon, and can't wait to be able to enjoy some of my favorite foods again. :)We are finalizing all of the details for the upcoming Angel's for Brianna benefit auction, and I want to personally thank all of you again that are participating and donating an angel! Those of you who were not able to donate, I hope that you will find an angel that you'd like to bid on, and help out a family who has suffered so much with the loss of their beautiful and talented daughter. Stop by Iva's blog and read her lovely eulogy to her daughter...it moved me to tears, and I'm sure it will you as well.That's it for now.....the couch is calling my name today! Thank you again, and please stop in again soon.

Brianna is gone....

I am sure that many of you have already heard the sad news, that Brianna is no loner with us. Words can not describe the loss of a child, and my heart goes out to Iva and her family. Brianna will be missed by so many, but she will not be forgotten. Colleen Moody, Kitty Forseth and myself have put together a benefit auction to help raise funds for the family. It's called "Angel's for Brianna" and will be a fabulous auction of artwork done in an angel theme, all donated by several artists working in a variety of styles and mediums. Please check back here, or on Kitty's and Colleen's blogs for more details....we hope to start the auction in about two weeks time, and are asking everyone we know to help spread the word, and bid on your favorite pieces!

Thank you all again for your prayers and support for the family. It meant so much to Iva and her family knowing that so many care, and have followed their journey.
