I am proud to announce that the annual Fundraising event for this Foundation was Saturday, June 24, 2010.  This year I  designed three items that were Auctioned off with all proceeds going directly to the “Have a heart for Sickle Cell Foundation” University of Chicago Hospital (UIC)… A Genuine Freshwater Pearl, Swarovski Crystal and European glass beaded Necklace and Earrings set and a a special Memorandum Swarovski Crystal Charm Bracelet that I designed in Honor of my niece Natasha L. Ross {R.I.P}, which has become the official Sickle Cell Anemia Disease Foundation Keepsake Bracelet and will continue to be apart of this event yearly..  The original mold Bracelet was Auctioned off BUT a request has been made for this Bracelet to be available for purchase following the auction therefore it is also being released here below:

and was designed using 8mm, 6mm and disk AB Swarovski Crystals in Clear and Pink with a clear
elastic stretch closure making this piece a very beautiful and durable bracelet.  Silver charms only…

Greenhouse Tour

HAH traveled to College of DuPage to visit the Horticulture Department greenhouses and look at some other exciting programs at the college. They enjoyed the large campus full of possibilities and especially liked the science classroom. Bugs, flowers and pizza were all closely examined under microscopes! All of the kids enjoyed planting up a container of flowers that they took home and seeing all the blooming flowers in May brightened up a cold and gray day.
