Hi All, It is with sadness that I need to let you know about the death of one of our community members, Vinouche. Vinouche was a member of one of our online groups, “Ongoing”, as well as a frequent contributor to both forums and blogs on this site. From my contact with Vinouche, I know that she appreciated the warmth and support that was extended to her from this community a great deal, particularly during times when she was feeling alone. This support helped her feel more connected, allowing her to explore her thoughts, experiences and feelings with people who understood.

My son shaved his head on the weekend to raise money for Ronald McDonald house and now we can compare pony tails. 🙂 Mine was longer than his and his won out in the thickness stakes. Am so very proud of him, he has lost all his beautiful locks and by done so by his own choice.

I went to a Look Good Feel Good program run by the local cancer resource group, the makeup industry and other organizations on Weds night. I was really looking forward to it. It topped even my expectations. The ladies ,all volunteers, were terrific. We had one on one with ladies helping us with our makeup and skincare and they pampered us a little too. These ladies all work in the makeup and skincare industry and some have been doing it for up to 10 years. We ended up with quite a bit of skincare and makeup products, all donated by the skincare and makeup companies, to take home.

Hi, all I'm a newbie here, been on the ACOR-FAP list for many years. Elaine is my sister - craftyone - and lives in Victoria. I'm in Western Australia. Like Elaine, I do quilting, cross-stitch and jewellery but I also paint, play the piano (really out of practice) and write science fiction. I work full-time but intend to retire in 4 years time and go around Australia with my 2 closest friends in a Winnebago, writing and painting our way across the country.

I have been offered an alternative which is, instead of looking after some baby emu's would I like to have the goat instead? How lucky am I? lol Goats eat everything!! Julie
