So as I mentioned before I have an interest in Volunteering to better my community.  I have sent off two applications today.  One to my church to volunteer in the nursery.  This is an obvious win win for me because I will be with lots and lots of babies and get some much needed experience in childcare before my little darling comes.  I also contacted Cape Fear Riverwatch.  They are a local group that volunteers to do clean up in local green areas and tries to encourage the community to make environmentally positive choices.  I am into that.  I think I am not ready to go out and sit with the homeless.  I am too scared being a young, pregnant girl so this seems much better.  I am feeling a big conviction about becoming more green.  I was reading Genisis last night and I felt convicted when I read how God gave the earth for mankind to take care of and rule.  I started watching Planet Green today.  Its a new channel on cable and I really love it.  I have already blogged about how I want to start a compost bin in my house to use to garden.  I saw on one of the shows how they used a "worm farm" with red worms and a bin to make excellent compost.  I love it.  I found a website that gives directions on how to make one here.  On Sunday Planet Green is going to show a special on Greensburg.  A town in KY that was devastated by a tornado that had completely destroyed about 95% of the housing and businesses.  I heard about it a few months ago on NPR and now they are showing how the town has seen this disaster as an opportunity to rebuild completely green.  It is so inspiring.  We can all do our part and I want to start doing mine and teach my children to value this planet.. its the only one we have : )

Need some help

I am home sick with the flu and I have not much else to do but be on the internet 24/7. In this picture there are two mid-century paintings. I wanted to see if anyone knows or can recommend an artist who does work like this. I may try to brave a replica myself. I am getting a new computer soon and I want to decorate my office in a mid-century theme and I really need some help with art. Any ideas???
