Gifted Hands and Giving...

I was suppose to have a full review of TNT's premiere movie "Gifted Hands"... however... time did not permit me to do a complete review... BUT I will tell you, I watched the movie along with my family and we ALL thought it was a GREAT movie... very inspirational... SOOOOOOO... PLEASE do me a favor and watch this movie and for more information click on the photo in my sidebar... you will NOT be disappointed! The acting is fabulous... Cuba Gooding Jr. is OUTSTANDING... ENJOY!

Here is the reason I ran out of time... working on my "Delighting Others via Design" project... I was using MY HANDS to Give to a Deserving Family... a new storage unit... I wanted something like this...This is what we found...
Here is the beginning of its transformation by moi...


And... I also finished the aging process of the two nightstands and headboard built from an old dining tabletop...AND... my GIVING continues... Yessssssssssss... yet another giveaway... I've volunteered my painting services to fellow blogger Muffy Martini... you may recall I painted a couple of ostriches for her... AND... now I'm participating in MUFFY'S GIVEAWAY. Pop over for a chance to win! The winner will be announced on my birthday February 9th... HOW FUN IS THAT!

Attention Fellow Bloggers... If you would like Fifi Flowers to participate in a SPECIAL GIVEAWAY for your blog... please email me with details!



ONE MORE BIT OF GIVING... I am giving EVERYONE an opportunity to own a Fifi Flowers' ORIGINAL PAINTING via Fifiby's Art Auction... I changed out paintings that did not sell yesterday to NEW FUN paintings I think will delight many of you!

Soooooooooooooooo scroll down to "Cafe Eiffel" "Eiffel Apartment with Sunflowers" and "Rose and Laundry on the Coast! This will be the last Fifiby's Art Auction for awhile. Of course, other pieces of art will be for sale on this site, my Painting du Jour and in my Etsy Store.

ENJOY YOUR DAY!

I am loving what you are doing! I am beginning to paint my bedroom furniture this week. Of course it will just be one color, because I don't have your painting talent!
Hugs,

I LOVE what you have done to the furniture. Its awesome. Where do you do the work at?
I cant wait to see it all done. I cant wait for some warmer weather here to paint a couple pieces of furntiture I've been wanting to paint. That was before Con's accident last summer. This year I plan to get it done. :)You're very inspiring.
