A Blogger in Need

I haven't been blogging much lately....in fact, I've been in one of those moods where I'm just kind of over blogging and blogs, for that matter.  What I'm not over, though, are bloggers.

And one of my favorite bloggers, Valorie of Visual Vamp has recently suffered a tragedy (read about it in her words at Visual Vamp);  her beloved husband Alberto suffered a massive heart attack in the airport upon their arrival in Canada to teach a tango workshop.

 Laura at the blog Decor to Adore is hosting a bloggers' auction to raise money for valerie and alberto:  his condition is so serious that it is going to require a medevac (translation: really expensive medically supervised trip) for Alberto to return to New Orleans to be cared for by his primary physician.  Go here to see the items that have been donated so for.  You can also contribute directly to Valorie and Alberto's paypal account at boutique@planet-tango.com.

I'm auctioning off an original mixed media painting, Two at Daybreak.  It's approximately 8x11", and is gallery wrapped so framing is unnecessary.  The colours in the photo are fairly accurate, however, I will be happy to do a custom version if this colour scheme does not work for you.  All money raised will be donated to Valorie and Alberto.  The opening bid is $50.  You can leave your bid in the comments, or e-mail them to me at hms70119@live.com.

I will  be out of town from today until wed., so bidding will go on until Nov. 11 at 9 a.m.

Thank you for helping out a blogger in need.
