the cause, the effect


THE CAUSE
I think I have chosen the recipient of any funds raised through Blank Canvas Mondays. Please check out tchin.org for more info. Below is some information from the Congenital Heart Information Network:

Congenital Heart Disease is considered to be the most common birth defect, and is a leading cause of birth-defect related deaths worldwide. Despite the fact that CHD affects approximately 1.8 millions families in the U.S., a relatively small amount of funding is currently available for parent/patient educational services, research, and support.

By sharing our experiences and providing information, we hope to raise public awareness about conditions that affect approximately 40,000 babies each year in the United States alone.

It is our sincere hope that efforts to educate the public will result in improved early diagnosis, additional funding for support and educational services, scientific research, and access to quality of care for our children and adults.

THE EFFECT


I have decided to work solo until February since I have to fit in projects into my spare time during my busy tradeshow season at work. I will start open workshops for all thursdays in February. I am planning a late afternoon workshop time around 4 o'clock. Let me know if that time works for you!

Thanks for having Art in your Heart
