Holiday Inspiration for Charities

How's your week going? The week is whizzing by and I still haven't bought any Christmas presents. Please tell me I'm not the only one.

Late last year, the editors at Style At Home magazine asked 8 photographers if they would submit a holiday image for this year's December issue. Something they were inspired by during the holidays. All of the images selected would be 8x10, and available for purchase for $100 with proceeds benefiting various charities. I was one of the photographers asked, and I decided to donate the proceeds to The Arthritis Society. I think this is a fantastic idea, and I'm so happy to be part of it. I hope they do it again next year!

We each submitted a few photos and, from my selection, they chose this BW image. My husband and I were in Australia last Christmas, so they do have that Aussie, summery, feel to them.


I'm happy to say, I have sold a few already! I thought I'd offer up the other two images for The Arthritis Society as well. They will be printed on a beautiful, matte, archival paper, and signed. If you are interested in purchasing any of these images, please contact me directly. I would be pleased to take your money, send you a print, and hand over another cheque to The Arthritis Society.


To see the other photographer's images, and the charities they've chosen, check out the December issue of Style At Home.  Have a lovely day! 

Back soon,
Janis

Haiti Needs Help

I was all ready to do a new post last night but, after watching news reports about the horrendous earthquake in Haiti, I lost interest. I'm sure many of you have been watching the horrible events unfold. The scenes of the aftermath are so heart-wrenching and tragic. No food or water, no way of getting much needed medical attention, and so many people still trapped under piles of rubble. They need help. Please check out these websites and, if you are able to, donate what you can.  Every penny will help!

Update for Canadians: The Canadian Government will match all donations up to $50M, meaning $100M to Haitians!
