Summer 2010Issue No. 3 
Dear Friend

Please enjoy this edition of our Summer Newsletter!
To get more Talulah's Fancy news or to view archived newsletters visit our website.
Well Summer is has officially arrived along with the all the precious new wild life that surrounds us here on Spring Creek. The dragonflies are hatching and o are the darning needles and the fireflies with their magical light show -it's so spectacular to watch! I love this special time of early summer. Just yesterday morning I was blessed by a visit of twin fawns and today something I had yet to witness...a mother possum with three baby possums clinging to her back as she hunted for her their morning meal -it was beyond precious!
 
As summer  continues to unfold and its special gifts present themselves it is my hope to take the time to see and be moved by these wonderful  inspirations.  By taking just a minute or two to acknowledge these gifts with a snap of the camera's lens or a quick sketch in my journal I can appreciate it  more deeply and even revisit the moment when I'm looking for just the perfect design concept for a new piece of jewelry or collage.  I hope you too will find inspiration in the beauty of summer!  
 
When you find something that inspires you sometimes you need to stick with it - as is the case with our Spring charity. - We want to continue to help the Global Youth Service Team raise money and awareness so they can continue to change the lives of those less fortunate. Click on the link below to learn more about our friends in the "GYST" and find out what they do to spread hope across the globe! If your inspired -pay it forward and share the information or a "bird of hope" with a friend!
 
Happy Summer! With much love, Tamara

Well,we've decided to continue our efforts and up the anty so to speak!
