Abbi almost died of accute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) earlier this year, and after she recovered, she agreed to do some fund raising for an ARDS research foundation. As an artist, she decided to donate an original drawing to each person who contributed $50 to her campaign. She has been pushing herself to do a drawing a day for this exhibit. Each of the drawings in the exhibit that has not already been promised to a donor is being sold for $65, and all of that money will go to ARDS research as well.
I had been debating between two drawings that I wanted to buy (scans of all of her drawings are on her blog, Drawing for ARDS), but one of them had already sold by the time I got there, making my choice an easy one. I am the proud new owner of "Octopus Mother."
I can't wait for the exhibit to close on October 3 so that I can bring my favorite new drawing home!

I miss you ladies! All of my cute Michigan friends. I wish I could be there to support Abbi too! I need to do something by the internet. Hope you're loving fall-I'm sad I won't be there this year. It'll be the first in seven years that I haven't been to Michigan in the fall!
Awesome drawing! I liked that one too! I'm so glad you guys could go and support Abbi. I wish we could have gone!
YOU LOOK AWESOME! Go Andrea!! How's the little one on the way?
Heather, the little one on the way is doing great! Thanks for asking.
You are a good friend, potato girl.
Those girls are smokin' hot! Hey, I wish someone would send me these pictures--glad I could see them here :)
Thanks for writing on my blog--I didn't know you'd had a sleep test too. I'm hoping that it's nothing because I never want to do that test again. Did you feel sick the next day? Initially I just thought it was really funny until about 10 am the next day when I started to feel dizzy and nauseated. It took a couple days to recover from the lack of sleep caused by the sleep test. I can't believe they had you take one when you were pregnant! How are you doing? When are you do? It was so fun to have you come visit. Pete's headed to A2 at the end of the month, but I can't leave my kids again. We've had too much play time without kids this past summer and fall, so I need to be responsible and stay home. I'll miss seeing you though.
Did I tell you that you look smokin' hot in this picture!
I tagged you. :-)
Do you have any idea how long it has been since you've posted? I do. I miss the potato girl! Hope your bun is baking nicely--almost done, yes?
Hey how's that baby coming along?
You are tagged.
