Originally, the idea was this. Two sisters spending one year creating art, or at least creating, every day using only supplies that they already have, get for free, find, or receive...looking to rediscover the artistic selves they've lost somewhere along the way in all the clutter of life... But it didn't fit into life, and so now who knows what you might find?!!

remember my name


Anytime someone comes into the library and asks for The Diary of Anne Frank, I always feel a sort of melancholy.  To think of what happened to normal families like hers during WW2 still seems unfathomable today, even though we know it truly occurred. Anne was a strong young woman, and partly because of her, we'll always remember what happened to millions of people...and even though we can't remember all the names of everyone who perished, remembering hers will help us remain aware.

  1. I love the portrait of Anne, it gives such hope to this card... it is like her spirit is telling us all to keep faith in the human race despite the atrocities that still continue... It's a lovely card to commemorate such a sad experience.
