Hi Everyone,

I have a new homepage/blog up that will have a profound effect on you--it did me. Thursday I will head out for Joplin, but first I wanted to get this up. In the coming weeks Tess will have a link for a silent auction to sell the two canvas wraps by Barbara C. Reed. On the home page you will see them. They are copies that she is donating so that OPR can raise money. I will be taking them with me to Joplin for viewing.

You're right Margie.  Barbara's bio is very moving and she is quite a gifted artist /photographer.  The homepage looks amazing.

Thanks Margie, Barbara's story is beautiful and very touching. 
How generous of her to donate two of her beautiful works of art to OPR to raise money.

Thanks so much Barbara!

 I love it!

Margie, Barbara's poignant story brought tears to my eyes.  What a perfect way to describe the value of our personal photos.  I read it, so appreciated it, and also posted it on my facebook page with the video about the Joplin copy run.  Barbara's photos are gorgeous, and she's so generous to donate them to help with OPR's costs.  What a special lady!

Bless!
