Falalalala...

I love singing!

I started humming in elementary school. Got into trouble humming.

So when they started a choir before school I joined. I didn't particularly sang high or sang low but the teacher stuck me in between the sopranos and altos simply because I could carry the tune and wouldn't be persuaded by the other groups to sing theirs.

In college, I joined the North Seattle Community choir with Jennifer. I had the pleasure of singing with them for several seasons.

When I moved to NY, Martin and I sang with a para-professional group for a Season:
Oratorio Society of Queens

Andy thought we were better than he had expected. I'm not sure what he meant by that. LOL

True or False...

you decide but I couldn't resist sharing:

I remember learning about controversies in high school, the debate then was euthanasia and abortion. In college we covered test tube babies and domestic violence. Now, it is about stem cell research and corrective surgery in utero.

Not only that, read more about Michael's story. Take a peek behind the scene into journalism and how they choose to release the headline stories.

Stamps for 3 Causes

This is a great idea, thanks Gina!

Thank you for an opportunity to collect stamps and make a difference with your Stamps for a Cause program:

You pick which you want to support:

American Diabetes Association and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation1
Make-A-Wish2
Autism Spreaks3

Toodles!

~~~~~
1 - "$7.00 of every stamp set will be divided equally between the American Diabetes Association and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, two organizations that are working on research to find better ways to treat diabetes and hopefully will some day find a cure."
2 - "$7.00 of every set purchased will go directly to the Make a Wish Foundation."
3 - "Gina K. Designs will donate $8.00 from the purchase of every stamp set sold, mounted or unmounted directly to Autism Speaks."

March...

Oh a happier note, something else we all experience other things in life...

It used to be called March of Dimes.

Now it is March for Babies.

Dear friends,

Women and men are both afflicted with cancer.

Here is a simple request from Tammy to send cards to her wonderful friend Shelly:

We all know someone with cancer but here's a way to make a difference to one person.

Please send her a card, or for matter closer to home...

pick up the phone and call someone you have not talked to for a while now. =)

More than a survivor, an author too!

I met this wonderful generous lady named Vickie in one of my swap groups:
