Praying for a miracle!

Most of you that follow me know I have always been big on doing art for charities. Well, this hits home. My sister, Christine, and her husband and son live in Moore OK. and were in the direct hit area that the tornado hit this week. She was working the next town over, and her husband was working when they heard about the tornado. Their son, my nephew Matthew was in a daycare that was directly hit. She was stuck in traffic, parked her car and RAN 2 MILES to where the daycare use to stand. Every daycare person covered the babies and they all made it out alive, a bit wet and scratched but alive. They have literally lost almost everything but they still have each other. They are currently staying with her husbands parents and although the house is still  standing (from what she has said so far) they are a far way from being out of the woods. Last year on the 19th I was her matron oh honor, and on the 20th I flew home. This year, on the 19th, they ran to the Walmart because they had a warning but it was just bad rain. On the 20th, they almost lost their almost 2 yr old little boy. If there is nothing else I can do,, I can do this. If there is any art in my gallery that you are interested in, would like to place a commission, anything, just let me know. My email is almalphia@yahoo.com and if you are truly interested, or even have a few spare dollars that you can help out with I will do whatever art you want and I do have a Paypal. Please. spread the word for me, I will be posting this on my FB page ( www.facebook.com/almalphia ) as well. Anything, even an ACEO will help. She will totally appreciate the help and if you choose to and want to send money directly to help people out there in general, please send money to the Red Cross or Salvation Army. I am doing this for my sisters family but any help you can send is fabulous!

Thanks so much my wonderful friends!!! If you want a print of anything that is already sold, I will get it done and hand sign it for you!!!

Ok, I keep saying that I will find time to do art and I wish I could get motivated to do that! I had gotten down to 278 lbs for the wedding which was a ton of fun but fell at the airport coming home and that and bronchitis put me back to about 290...meh. I do have some absolutely fantastic news tho! is going to be visiting who is right up the road from me and I am going to get to hang out with them! I am so excited! I have known   on here and traded sculpts for a few years. Now through her I will meet someone from Dev-art that is a local equine sculpter too...I feel like I just won the lottery!!!! Not only will we have a sculpting party but my hubby, son and I will be at Hershey Park at the same time as they are so I will see them there and we may all hook up at the PA Renn Faire too! Lots of pics will have to get taken!!!

No new artz as of late, but I am working on a super secret coven concept for a grail...that's all I can say for now. I need to work on that design and I hope the sculpting party yields some cool stuff to post! I will also see if I can get J to draw me some stuffs and I will draw some for them too!

Well, not much else to say...my son was placed in a special school because of his behavior and barely passed with "d"'s this past year, we hope that will change in 10th grade. My hubbys grandmom passed away and my niece is pregnant. My sisters wedding was a lot of fun and I will have to post pics of the glass charms I made for them.

Glad to be back!

Well well well, I am still here, just been really busy and not able to do much but here none the less! I made a HUGE decision with my life and got realllly serious about it. I finally decided to stick to a New Years resolution and lose weight! Last year I was 350lbs, and I was over 330 when I really started in January this year. I am now down to 291.9 and there is nothing gonna stop me! I am matron of Honor in my sisters wedding on May 19th and I have been working really hard to lose the weight for the wedding. Not just for the wedding but for me, and my health. I am disabled, I have a neurological disorder that causes my muscles, bones and nerves to deteriorate. the only way I can keep out of a wheelchair is to get proactive. After 10+ years of letting this disease rule my life, I have taken the upper hand and am wrestling it into submission. It is non-curable but I hope that by working out in the pool at least 5 times a week I can stave it off for a long while! I am up to walking 2 miles a day in the pool and I also work out in the pool with foam weights for underwater resistance and leg lifts as well as a few other things.

How it started:

My hubby was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and is a truck driver for a living. They were going to take his job away if he didn't get the CPAP and get better. He decided shortly after his father passed away that he was going to take his dads advice...one of the last things his father told him was to lose the weight and get healthy..."don't let this happen to you". He died of Pancreatic cancer. Not that there is  WEIGHT/CANCER thing but his father was overweight and diagnosed late. Fred took it upon himself to get a weight journal and I took his pic and measurements. He has now cured the apnea and has lost about 80lbs! I saw how much healthier he was getting and decided once and for all that I would really work hard and take that leap. I am now down 1/4 of the way to where I want to be and feel better and better every day. I look forward to getting my son on the bus and driving to they YMCA every morning. When I don't go, I feel off. I try on the weekends but it gets busy with bday parties and swim lessons but I think I will go at least until it gets busy, so even if I only get 1 mile in, it is 1 mile of exercise more that if I had not gone. I also work on the wii fit and do step and boxing, and I love it! I will try to keep you all up on the loss of weight and the gain in confidence! I am also working on cleaning up my studio and getting some major work done to post very soon! If not before the wedding, most definitely after I get home!!!  I am going to make myself a deal. For every 10lbs I lose I am going to do something artistic, that way I am not stagnating and just working on myself in one way and not another.

So...what do you think! The hubby and I want to redo our wedding pics when we are both at our goal weights, so hoping by our 5th Anniversary next August (8/9/14) you will see another pic of us in a fairy garden and skinny! Not that skinny matters, I have been overweight my whole life, but healthy and able to live for years and see my son grow up and graduate, get married and have children...that is my long term goal. Right now it is to get down below 290 by my birthday...I am almost 2 lbs away and just 2 days is my bday. I won't get upset or disappointed if I don't. I have learned and been praised as I also praise with my hubby. days that I don't lose or go up a bit that our bodies are constantly changing and that most importantly muscle weighs more than fat. Together we started a life and together we are getting healthy so we will be together for a long long time! So, almost 60lbs gone and about 140 more to go! I am in this for the long haul and so happy about it!

Just want to start this with the newest arts done for me. The 1st is a trade i did thei i did one of her OCs and she did Almalphia for me!





Next is a prize I got for catching 44,444 kiriban:



I loves my Almalphias!



My health has been slowly improving from the MRSA, so I am happy about that!

We took our first family vacation with my son. For a 14 yr old with severe ADHD, severe Bipolar and ODD, he did really well for a 14 hour trip going up and 14 back. We went to Battle Creek MI to visit my dad, stepmom and brother Tony. I got to meet Tony's girlfriend who is totally awesome and Tony asked me to draw a unicorn for her because she loves them. I gave her a box full of unis I was getting rid of and she loved them! Here is the pic I drew for her:



and here is where I get my artistic genes: MY father! I keep telling him to make an account here! he does leather work of all kinds, as well as crafts like scrollwork with wood and makes model cars that are customized and look just like local police or whatever you want! Remember my Journal WIP:



Well, when we were at my fathers, I took the pic up and he made the journal cover for me! :

  

He said if anyone was interested to let me know and I will get pricing for you!



School starts on Wednesday for my 14 yr old son, his 1st year in high school! I went through his clothes and am donating 80% of what he had to a local lady who is going through hard times so her son will have clothes for school.

Hope everyone is well, and I am hoping now that Chris will be going to school, after I finally get my bathroom renevations done I will be getting to work on more artz!

Huggles and warm fuzzies!  Almalphia
