Artist:Brooks Russell

Last month we did an art show and there was a Father and Son art team, this Father wanted to encourage his son in art because he knew that just turning four this week – he was not running and being very physical.  He thought he could encourage him with art.  Just today I found out the little boy Brooks Russell needs our prayers and any extra art supplies, because he has a tumor in his spine.  Only about 100 people have this condition and will be undergoing a surgery at Vanderbit this next Thursday 5/17.  Please help me send good thoughts to this child, to this Mother of three children, 4 and under, to this Dad.  Needless to say all of us know how horrible the hospital bills are and the stress of recovery.  So if you have any extra little something of art supplies that we could fill a treasure chest to give to this little boy, you don’t have to go buy anything, but we all have an extra brush, or pad, or paint.  As Artist we know how our art heals us, let’s help heel this family.  Bring anything you would like to give this family to the MAY Meeting.  Thank you for your prayers.

Hi Melissa, I just got off the phone with Mary Lou’s husband, Ralph, she just now got home. She had a second stent put in the front of her heart yesterday. (Last week in was the back of the heart) She did not get much rest in the hospital, they went in the vein near her groin, and it would not stop bleeding. Ralph said she is exhausted, needs to rest.  She needs prayers, bless her heart. She has been taking care of Ralph so much lately. Please let everyone know, she is home recovering. Please keep in touch, Hugs, Pat

Saturday was the Hibiscus and more new people – girls came from everywhere – Ohio, Alabama, Knoxville, Jaskson, People will travel to take from Ros. Loved the Damask stencil on the border, had to use the canvas I had.

Friday was at the Beach and fun.  I wasn’t sure about using the SILKS on the balls, but if all else fails – add more sparkle – after I did the border the green and blue sparkle with mica I loved it.

Thanks to all - the teacher Ros Stallcup, the VP Cindy for wonderful food and program, for Fran running to get the Twinkling H2O’s for the group and all the friends old and new.

Prayers needed for Mary Lou Gentry.  I’ve been informed that she’s had a mild heart attack and is in Harton Hospital in Tullahoma.  She will be there for a few days since she will possibly need a stent put in.  Please keep Mary Lou and her family in your prayers.

Melissa

Just wanted to update everyone……Mary Lou Gentry got released from the hospital this afternoon.  This is wonderful news.

Wishing you a very speedy recovery Mary Lou.  Take care of yourself and get plenty of rest.
