The Trumpets of the Sky: Week 5 of Robert's Snow

The final week of Blogging for a Cure starts today. Blogging for a Cure supports Robert's Snow for Cancer's Cure, the online charity auction of wooden snowflake ornaments decorated by children's book illustrators. Proceeds go to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and the effort by the children's book bloggers was launched to drive as much traffic as possible to the Robert's Snow web site. There you'll find all the information about how to bid on these unique pieces of art. The first round of auctions begins Monday, November 19th. Buying a snowflake will fund cancer research. That's what it's all about.

Do stop by these woods on a snowy evening for a visit with artists Maggie Swanson on Wednesday and Joan Waites on Saturday.
