Blogging for a Cure: Robert's Snow, Week 2

The blizzard of festive snowflake art continues. Through November various blogs will be featuring individual children's book illustrators' snowflakes from the Robert's Snow: for Cancer's Cure online auction. The snowflakes themselves are a bit more than 5 inches big. Proceeds go to funding cancer research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. The first round of bidding starts in November; see the Robert's Snow web site for complete details. Grab a pencil and paper, and be prepared to make a wish list! On Tuesday, artist Marion Eldridge visits Chicken Spaghetti as part of the Blogging for a Cure effort, so stay tuned.
