Freaky Friday

Monday blog post #50

Hi my dear friend!

Last week was busy over here although it was Holiday - Eid Al Adha and no one was working for 3 days. Most of the people took vacation and went somewhere, but not me. I was working simultaneously on few projects. I'm preparing for a new Halloween event organized by handmade community QatART and art school Inspiration Station on Friday, 25th October. We are making decorations for the event, lots of activities and handmade bazaar. My corner will be photo booth with different handmade Halloween props where people will be able to pose for a freaky photo :D

On Saturday I spent few hours raising awareness and money at the Ritz Carlton Pink Ribbon Awareness Day. Unfortunately, many people were still away for Eid Holidays and not many people came to hear stories from breast cancer survivors. There was also Nicole from TheRawHealthCoach talking about health and healthy food... and me :D with my Little Pink Angel. Also my friends Aly and Monica who prepared gorgeous items all in pink and with hearts.
I managed to raise some money and so far I have raised total of 886QR which will be donated to one family in need who's member is going to therapy.

Thank you ladies for your support and giving hope to other breast cancer patients!

At the moment I'm focusing on custom orders and and I'm doing illustrations for Christmas/Holidays products like gift tags, cards, mini calendars, bookmarks...
I will probably finish them until next Monday Blog post so see you then :)

Have a lovely week.
Sending you my smile with love,
Dominika

Giving back to community

Monday blog post #48

Hello!
Happy to see you :)

This Monday blog post is about giving back to community.

MIA PARK BAZAAR October 2013

It is going to be 3 years in January since I've moved to Qatar. I can't believe how time flies when you enjoy what you do, when you explore new opportunities and meet new people. Qatar became my home and I've decided to give back to this community.

Giving back to community doesn't need to include money but giving a bit of your free time and your heart.

On Friday it was a really hot day around 40 degrees or even more and we were getting ready for Ladies of Harley Breast Cancer Awareness Day event. It's my 3rd year now since I've became active in this event. It was organized at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Doha and it was beautiful. Hayat cancer support group representative was also present. I told her about my initiative for raising money for the breast cancer patients who need money for the treatment and she was so happy and promised to put me in contact with them. I want to thank Margarita for organizing everything and giving me the opportunity for being involved in such an amazing event.

Just a quick reminder about my initiative: I painted a painting Little Pink Angel and made 5 different items, paper goods with that image. I'm selling them at the events and online. You can find them all on this link

On Saturday I was at the Museum of Islamic Art Park Bazaar from 12-5pm. I almost melted how hot it was, 41 degrees. My friend Aly saved me with a big shade she brought. If there wasn't her I wouldn't be even considering of staying in the sun. There was not many customers but those who came were really supportive and they melted my heart :)

Here are some photos to see how I managed to survive even I got sunburned :)))

Next event will be on 19th October at the Ritz Carlton Hotel from 10am-12pm where you will be able to buy items with the Little Pink Angel illustration. Hope to see you there!

Doha Flea Market

Monday blog post #47

First edition of Doha Flea Market took place on 28th September 2013, from 4 to 11pm at the Doha Swiss Bell hotel ballroom. There were 50 sellers and plenty of visitors. I was a bit tired and not quite myself :))) because I just arrived that morning from Istanbul.

I had only products with the Little Pink Angel illustration because I was raising money for the families in need who's members are fighting the breast cancer. Profit from each sale goes for this cause. I will be raising money during events in October as well and I will be posting information on how much I've raised, on my blog and on my Facebook Page. So far I've raised 695 qr (or $190). At the end of October I will give the money to Hayat Cancer Support Group.

If you want to give your support and buy items with a Little Pink Angel illustration please find all the items under this link and send me an email to cherubins3@gmail.com
