Did you know?

Every U.S. Bill costs 14 cents to make, regardless of denomination.



This, and the cigarettes posted two posts down (g'head, scroll) are for a book about American statistics - a collaborative project with half of my advanced production class. Our team of eight is creating a book with an edition of 20, and ours is called "The United Statistics of America." Did you know that every day, four New Yorkers will be bitten by a fellow human? Did you know that Americans owe more on student loans than credit cards? Well, all of these and more can be found for our book, which unfortunately will not be available to anyone outside our class. Unless Uncle Pennybags happens to be one of my three readers and wants to boost our budget?

Signed Sealed and Printed

Now in the Artisans Gallery:

Color for the Cure, a coloring book for breast cancer awareness. All of the artist's (moi) share of the proceeds will go to the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, an organization that takes breast cancer research to all facets: from prevention to treatment, education to advocacy. Dr. Love was one of the first female physicians to bring breast cancer to the public forum. Her book, "Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book" is often called the Bible of breast-Care.

This is just one of the many "did you knows?" you can find in my book. Where it lacks in medical and academic information (for good reason), it makes up for in things you can COLOR PRETTY COLORS! And for a good cause! In CARDSTOCK! IN NATURAL WHITE CARDSTOCK! (and i'm so excited about this, I have to type in ALL CAPS!!)

So, please, please come to the Artisan Gallery, located at 1215 Cornwall Avenue in Bellingham Washington. It will be there until future notice, and at least through the holidays. But why wait? Help an organization that aims to help millions of women.
