Also this year I am Show chairman for the OKWOCP China painting Convention.  Just click on OKWOCP for all the latest details.

Until next time,

As many of you have seen on the news, Japan has been devastated by an earthquake and a tsunami.  There were many Japanese doll makers that were impacted by these disasters.  The Doll Artisan Guild has set up a relief fund on their website, www.dollartisanguild.org, that you can donate to.  I have met several of these ladies throughout the years and they are very gracious as well as talented.  If you can help, checkout the DAG website, but most of all keep them in your prayers.

Talk to you soon,
Jody
