Do you know CRESCENDOh?
If the answer is no, well, you need an introduction, trust me.
It is the brainchild of Jenny Doh, who has served as Editor-in-Chief for some of our favorite publications...
Somerset Studio,
Artful Blogging,
apron.ology,
Marie,
Greencraft, and many, many more.

She also co-authored with Jo Packham the incredible book
As if all that isn't enough, Jenny is also an artist, writer, photographer, rubber stamp designer, in-demand speaker, blogger, and now?
Now she is the driving creative force behind
CRESCENDOh,

and the driving force behind Jenny is the overwhelming conviction that
ART SAVES
CRESCENDOh actualizes its mission and values by creating an online presence where:
- Like-minded creatives gather to shine light on the best projects and ideas from the online world. In doing so, CRESCENDOh builds an organic, home-grown development of increased visits to CRESCENDOh, resulting in a mutual home-grown development of increased visits to its linked sites.
- In addition to the links to projects and ideas, CRESCENDOh helps tell unique and heartfelt ART SAVES stories from successful artists who serve as Guest Curators throughout the year. Through these stories, an organic and home-grown development of organizations born out of the stories grow. Reader-submitted stories about ART SAVES are also collected and shared, to help the CRESCENDOh community learn about the global power of art.
- The concept ART SAVES is carried out further through exclusive ART SAVES merchandise sold in the shop. These items are created with original work by artists, and 100 percent of proceeds go to CRESCENDOh's charities of choice.
My fabulous friend Diane of Rosa & Josie's is the guest curator on CRESCENDOh this week, so I urge all of you to pop on over and read her amazing story of how Art Saved her.

I don't know why or how, but Diane tells me that she's actually going to be including
ME
in her artist links tomorrow!!!
I always struggle with calling myself an artist, as I'm more of a writer and now photographer than someone who can create beautiful objects with my hands....but those non-tactile talents still count as art...right?
Thank you Diane, and have a wonderful Tuesday!

Thank you Anne for sharing crescendoh.com with your followers. It is indeed a wonderful community of like minded souls, sharing things like good books, recipes, favorite art tips and beautiful blogs (such as yours), who have great stories to tell.
It isn't a surprise at all that I will be linking you tomorrow. I am just surprised no one has done it before me!
Anne dear,

It looks like when visiting Diane, it will take some good time, so I will pop over there now, thanks so much for those wonderfull adresses, and you so deserve the link.
Hugs, Dorthe
Yeah she must know good talent when she sees it! congrats on your link, you deserve it my dear!!! off to check it all out!
Wow!!! that's great. I'm heading to the blog xoxo
Yes writing and photography are arts too. As is the ability to see the beauty and potential in something old and worn down.
Heading over now to the links you provided. Thanks!
Nice! I'm sending my daughter a link to this. I struggle with the term artist for me, but easily apply it to you, Anne!!
Please do not return the BO & ROCCO sized box that will appear on your step tomorrow until they are potty trained :) Completely.
That is so cool they are going to feature you! You soooo deserve it! You TOTALLY are an artist! AND...writing, photography...oh...totally artist stuff! :)
She's one super talented gal, glad you spotlighted her, Anne! She has a piece of jewelry that I'm saving my pennies for!
xo,
me
Congratulations on your guest feature! :) And yes, art is all things created by you - whether it's written, photographed, photoshopped or even set up in your booth, staged to sell. You, my dear, are an artist. It's okay to call yourself that. Promise!
Thanks for sharing!!
Anne, that jewelry is pretty in Victorion mets Modern way. I like it. If I buy more Joe will fire me. Thanks for sharing this site I will definitely check it out. Of course you will be featured. Your photography shows you as the artist you are. Plus your writing and designing in your shop. It's True.

Anne, thanks for visiting! Your blog has the most beautiful pictures on it! And I love that you are from Texas. My Mom is a Texas gal and I have spent many a summer in Texas on vacation growing up. We still have lots of family there. Scattered around, but mostly in East Texas. The closest I have been to you is San Antonio. I bet your shop is amazing! You will appreciate this... one of my Mom's relatives sent her some bluebonnets this spring, since they know how much she loves them. Wasn't that sweet? I will enjoy visiting your blog. Your dogs are so beautiful! Love & blessings from NC!
You are being included dear because you deserve it! I am heading over to check out crescendo. Thanks!
Gorgeous stuff, I am headed over to check it out!!! Thanks for sharing. Blessings~~~Daphne
What a couple of great sites! Thanks so much for showcasing them both. Can't wait to go check them out.
Hi Anne, I don't know why you would ever think you are "constipated" when it comes to artful blogging. You always have such wonderful things to share. I love Crescendoh and visiting Jenny's blog. She certainly seems like such a down to earth, creative and lovely woman. And Diane is definitely a very talented person. My cousin makes jewelry -- love it, just don't have the knack for it, but love to see (and wear) what others create. Your fur babies sure seemed to be cooperative with bath time. Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday. Best wishes, Tammy
FANTASTIC stuff and I cannot wait for a quiet moment to visit them both. It's a crazy ride here at the moment as school winds down, so am not getting as much screen time as I'd like to visit you and others! Amazing how much positive energy you draw to yourself, sweet Anne. I'm looking forward to reading about you on this new blog!!! Your words and photos are definitely ART. Many cyber hugs to you, today! xx Suzanne
Jenny is an amazingly talented person. I don't think there is anything she cannot DO!! She did a book signing in my store a couple of weeks ago. She did a book signing in my store a couple of weeks ago, and it was wonderful to have her there. LOVE all the jewelry above!
Take care, Sue
Isn't Dianne the sweetest and super talented too! Happy Wednesday, T
Oops! Hey Anne. I think you got to my post today before I actually finished. At first I was gonna do a Wordless Wednesday but then realized I just can't not say something. :) But I accidentally hit a return in the wrong place which makes it post when you don't really want to. It's been one of those days and I'm pooped big time. Toodles (again). Tammy
Awww...congratulations sweet friend. You ARE an artist cuz you paint our lives with joy and awesome hill country eye candy. :)
Thanks for this post. I'll check it all out.
Hi again, Anne! Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my blog! I'm so happy you are going to join us on the 25th for the Wedding blog party! It should be so much fun to see what everyone shares that day!
