The Story That is Changing the World.......

Invisible Children

Invisible Children United is an organization developed solely for the purpose of helping children in Uganda, Africa. In 2003, three young filmmakers set out to Uganda for a story not knowing how it would change their lives. What they discovered shocked and inspired them to make a difference.

Motivated by the unseen war in Northern Uganda, Invisible Children was created with a singular mission:
To use the power of stories to change lives around the world.

The children of Uganda are both the weapons and the victims. Imagine if our children (yes, your child) did not have clean water, a toilet to use, books, paper or even a pencil. This is where Invisible Children is changing lives and providing Uganda with hope through educational scholarships, mentorship and the rebuilding of secondary institutions.

Carroll High School is hosting the 2nd annual fashion show to raise money for the nonprofit group, Invisible Children. Designing-Diva has donated jewelry for the Silent Auction with a retail value of $100 for the event. Even if you can't attend, please consider making a tax deductible donation to bring hope to the children of Northern Uganda.

2007 Texas State Fair Opens Today

The Texas State Fair Opens.....woohoo. I am so excited. The State Fair is one of my favorite annual events....who doesn't love funnel cakes and hand squeezed lemonade!Plus the fact,I have a small sampling of my fused glass jewelry and accessories in the Go Texan Store (Food & Fiber Pavillion).

This year there is a TEXAS WINE GARDEN: Fairgoers can explore the world of wine in an attractive courtyard setting. Wine experts will conduct Wine 101 classes, and Texas vintners will be available to answer questions during scheduled tastings throughout the run of the Fair. Check out all the entertainment here...

My family is planning on attending in the evening so we can catch the nightly parade that happens at 7:15 PM. The kids have a fall break next weekend and were issued a free ticket which they have posted on the fridge so mom and dad DON'T FORGET to take them! ;)

Luna -Dichroic Art Glass Pendant

LUNA

See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...we need silence to be able to touch souls.
-Mother Teresa

I created this dichroic art glass pendant because I've always been drawn to the window to gaze up at the moon.....it really does touch the soul.

I used copper sheet metal for the moon and created a tab setting from 20 gauge sterling silver sheet.

This design is currently on show at the Go Texan Mercantile Store (Food & Fiber Pavillion) for the 2007 Texas State Fair.
