This Morning....

Well at....I don't know......2:30 maybe, I was still up.....


and I was sitting in my bed getting sleepy.....(trying to work while sitting in bed....is just dumb....I know this but I continue to fall prey to this all the time)......so where was I...
yes....I was getting cozy and sleepy and I thought....I could sleep for a couple of hours (no big deal) and wake back up....I set my alarm for 4:30 and I was out like a light.....


This never works......for whatever reason...it never does, it may for you...but not for me....ever....I knew better....


My eyes popped open after what felt like just a little while...I rolled over and saw the clock  7:11!!!! 
(class starts at 8:00)
.....and for a second I panicked and then I was like no! I didn't turn that clock back! It's 6:11! I immediately got up threw clothes on and dashed to Studio....yes I dashed! hehe (after applying mascara of course....and grabbing a bagel).....
Despite the fact that I wasn't going to be late for class I was still a little concerned that I hadn't finished everything that I needed to finish....(I thought about skipping...but I didn't) (I am not a skipper at all, seriously)....


I survived.....before he made it to my desk to talk to me I got a good amount accomplished.....He marked my stuff up gave me some helpful advice and.......finally.....for the first time since August, I think I saw a small glimmer at the end of the tunnel.....


Since it's November......I'll just let in be known that today....... I am thankful for that small light at the end of the tunnel and for God tapping me on the shoulder promptly at 6:11..... 

 I don't think I shared this picture before...but i have a very good/awesome/amazing reason to share it with you now.......

Friday from 1:00 to 6:00 the Interior Design program will be hosting a silent art auction.

All the art for this auction will be donated....

and the proceeds will be given to Smithville, Mississippi....

The town of Smithville was ripped to pieces by a tornado earlier in the year.

This is a topic that pulls on my heart strings.

By no means can I comprehend the hurt that these people (and those in Joplin, Tuscaloosa, and everywhere else on the map) must be dealing with......but our program made the decision to reach out and make use of our talents and creative minds.....

The image above is one that I made a few weeks ago.....This is my piece that I am submitting to the auction...

I've always been told if you don't use it, you lose it.....talent that is......

I plan on using mine...

I couldn't think of a more perfect way to do so.

:)
