I am also doing an ATC exchange. It is called "So thankful for......". I did an oil pastel (my first) of my coffee cup. Thankful for my husbands loving hands that bring me coffee in bed every morning. The cup is pink and was given to me by a friend. It is a Longenberger cup signifying breast cancer awareness. I have painted it before because I have a friend going through radiation after her lumpectomy. I pray for her when I see my cup in the morning. This holiday season my sister told me that they found a lump. She is now going in for a biopsy on Feb. 7th, we are waiting to see. I pray for her now too, all the time. I am now thankful for the huge survival rate when detected early. Lets take better care of ourselves and have our mammograms!

Desiree, your first time with oil pastel is a big "Wow !!!" for me. I will pray together with you for anyone who are fighting with breast cancer.
Desiree, I will put your friend in my thoughts too. A year ago I had a very good friend going through it all and she had her first test just a while ago and was declared "clean". I wish the same for your friend.

Such a sweet sensitive post with a sweet pink mug sketch - I will put your friends in my thoughts too - I am all to aware how important early detection is myself.
This is wonderful not only because this is quite a beautiful piece of artwork but also for the meaning behind it. I too will remember your friend and I wish her and you all the best.
I've been trying to catch up and see all the sketching you've been doing. I love the post on the 23rd, especially - great drawing. This postcard is beautiful, as is your post. I hope your friend and your sister get through this time with flying colors. What a nice husband you have. =)
