Personal Note 
We have finally had an insurance adjuster out to the house to look at the damage to the roof that that windstorm had done to it and the back of the house a few months ago by now. So now, we still wait some more to hear... We DO know that no matter what, we have an $1,000 deductible, so it’s of course likely we can’t fix our house.
We have the traps and are beginning the process of trapping the ferals here, to take them to The Humane Society for spay/neuter and release. The traps seem so inhumane, ironically. And Raya, is already pregnant again, which just seems crazy, but they can spay her anyway, which just seems bizarre. It’s just crazy. We’ll see if we can even trap them. I’m not liking any of this, but I’m trying to think of the bigger picture.
Have had a lot going on with Groups lately, especially regarding, #
Unframed-Nature which has always been my main group I work for- and I think there is going to be some bigger changes there... and THEN another Group of #
WolfyDeviants where I JUST inherited the position of Founder...
It’s not really what I wanted, but I DID want to save it, after something very very unfortunate happened there... and apparently that was the best way to do it. I DO thank the couple people who helped me,
But, Lately, I feel a bit crazy....
I have TWO LARGE orders of Holiday GREETING CARDS! This is good news, because I really need to WORK in this way, and be creative...
But I NEED to make the time to do it, and get them done in time!
The South Coast Humane Society, here on the SW Coast of Oregon IS keeping me very busy these days... I still haven’t embarked on all the projects they’d like me to do yet. But the photos for the newspapers are still going well.
The Shelter Project!REMEMBER- The Humane Society here, DOES welcome The Shelter Project!
They are happy to have this, and help of any kind.
~~~
Special Thank-You's! ~~~
First of All...THANK YOU, [AGAIN] to those who have
'd
"Part 2" of
THE SHELTER PROJECT, HERE:
The Shelter Project was presented first, HERE:
Even a
is a big deal with a project like this, because by
'ing it DOES at least spread the word for such a good cause.
Extra Special Thank You to the Following Individual Artist for Promoting The Shelter Project, HERE: [link] She even started a donation pool.
Andrea’s been a really supportive new friend here on dA and it’s also her
BIRTHDAY on NOVEMBER 4th! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
The names of those who have taken The Shelter Project further in a variety of ways, through their various types of features of the Project,
on behalf of the project, and
Purchases DIRECTLY through Tea Photography© are placed on my Profile Page with the Custom Box[es] associated with the info. of both Project 1 and Project 2, as well as placed
inside, in the Artist's Comments sections of each one. That way, they will always be there, in case one or both Custom Boxes are moved.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS KEPT AND MAINTAINED PROMOTIONS OF THE SHELTER PROJECT ON THEIR JOURNALS OR PROFILE PAGES! THIS IS MORE THAN I COULD HAVE EVER EXPECTED! 
The
Extra Special THANK-YOU Features for DIRECT PURCHASES, are on the Profile Page, on the Left-side.
is there for the OTHER project that we worked on together, where she sponsored the 5-piece set of framed prints of my images for the Shelter, as asked of me by the manager to donate,
HERE: [link] . While not the same as The Shelter Project, "The Shelter ART Project" STILL went to benefit that SAME Shelter!
and
are still there, and remain there, for their business AND repeat business of my work.
Repeat business, is not even all that a few of them have done, even though that's thoroughly the epitome of awesome. But the repeat promotions, in News Articles by Jocelyne and the ongoing promotion on her page, and Philippe's repeat promotions in his Journals & News Articles with commentary to the work he's received by me... and Cheryl's and Dana's promotions, too as can be seen on their Profile Pages!
They have worked so hard to help with this, and be very active participants with my work. I never could have imagined, not just better customers, but as if partners, throughout this whole Project.
CELEBRATING YOU- Features Part I
I can’t thank you, my dear wonderful dA friends for celebrating my Birthday here with me on dA... it means more than you realize, considering I have no family nearby, and my other friends are also spread so far away...
You’ve all come to mean so very much to me over the time that I’ve been here on dA. You are truly the true gifts to me...
Thank you for your images of artwork, features, links to songs & e-cards, dA cakes, and dA points
too.
[ ALL of the gifts of artwork ARE now in the Custom GIFT BOX on my Profile Page...
]
It will take me a while to thank and feature EACH of you for your wonderful gifts, all in my journals, but I WILL!
