Obee Designs for a Good Cause....








This morning I got a visit from one of my blogging friends Gail from Obee Designs. As always she left me a very sweet comment. Being that I haven't visited her in a while, I went over to pay her a visit. Like always, she had some of the most amazing post that I had a joy catching up on. As I was scrolling down her blog, I notice in her sidebar this T-Shirt shown above. I knew in an instant that it was another beautiful creation of her daughter Meghan. Just above the T-shirt, I notice this youtube news clip. So I watched it. As I was watching it tears began to roll down my face. I thought it was just the most heart warming story. A young lady using her beautiful art in honor of both grandfathers to spread awareness of heart disease.

Meghan created Obee designs with her mom Gail in honor of both of her grand fathers she lost to heart disease. She turned her tragic loss into something positive by creating beautiful t-shirt and jewelry to spread awareness. A portion of the proceeds goes to The American Heart Association. Her beautiful necklaces can be customized and a picture of a loved one you loss can be included into the back of the necklace. Not only is it for loved ones loss but also for loved ones gained. You can put a picture of a baby, child or spouse or even your pet. Whatever you choose, just knowing that her lovely creations are to help bring awareness to heart disease is enough for me.

Meghan's art work has been successful. She has already raised hundreds of dollars for The American Heart Association. How awesome is that! I'm loving her designs. Now Meghan is working on her new T-shirt line titled "Near and Dear T Shirts" I really love the heart with the wings! Beautiful T-shirt Meghan! I love to see young people do something positive. So I ask that you please check out the Obee Design Etsy shop, her youtube link and Gail's blog to get more information about Obee design. Congratulations Meghan, I know both of your grandfather's are proud of you! Keep up the good work! To see the video in full size, double click on the video.

Charmaine-

So lovely to hear from you! I'm glad that things are going well with you and that you're just blogging along. You always have the cutest things in your blog. I love it! ♥

As far as your button is concerned. Don't worry! I am patiently awaiting the day when I see a button for my best blog friend Charmaine, so that I can add her to my lovely wall of favorites! If you need help, I can help you for sure! I would just need to know what picture{s} you would want on the button, and what you would want it to read. It really would be no problem. I sit here at a computer all day at work, and when I'm not busy, I blog, and work on my blog! So don't hesitate to ask. I'd be obliged to assist!

But summer? It's here? Time has flown by so fast. I was going to visit my family in Colorado this weekend, for I had time off, and the vacation time crept up on me and I didn't get a chance to book hotels or anything. SOoooo, yes, summer. Ha. It's going to be a good one! I can feel it. I've started working out and running more so that I can look hot for my real vacation which will be taking place next December. I'm going on a cruise!!!! I am so excited, and yet, so nervous.

What are your fun summer plans? How are things going? Tell me all! ♥
