Thank you to everyone for your generous donations and patience as I work my way through a growing list of doggies to draw. Thank you especially to those of you who are spreading the word about my fundraiser project on forums and blogs - I really really appreciate it!

Here is some nice feedback from Kat (mother to Dobby the Frenchie, and Cookie the BT, as pictured below)-

“Lili is super nice, and very quick with her work, you’ll be
amazed. She always captures the expressions & personalities of the
dogs SO perfectly! I’ve attached the drawing she did for Cookie &
Dobby, as well as some of their pictures that inspired the drawing.
It’s now framed up on our wall and makes us smile everytime we look at it. :)”

I also received some lovely feedback from Chris, (Angel’s mom) on the WOOF forum. Below is a photo of my framed drawing of her doggies, which is so cool to see!

… And from Melissa:

“Here is a picture of my tattoo, inspired by your fabulous drawing of Duke and Daisy.  It’s pretty fresh, I’ll send you a better picture once it is healed up.”

These photos make me smile. :)

DONATIONS UPDATE

I recently sent off a $800 check to BostonBuddies for the care of Hope, a Special Needs girl whom you can read about HERE. I will continue to send checks to BostonBuddies at the end of each month on your behalf. In only 3 months, we have raised approximately $3000 in donations - which blows my mind! I feel so good about this!

Some of you have asked: How long will this fundraiser project go on for?

Ideally, I would like to keep doing these drawings for as long as there is interest in them.

What started off as a “side hobby-project” has now become something that I do every day and night so… a slight change of plans… From August 2008 onwards, I will be donating 20 -50% of proceeds (instead of 80%) to BostonBuddies Rescue.

I also want to add that if you prefer me to donate to a different pet rescue group or charity (e.g., French Bulldog Rescue, if you have Frenchies or a mixed-breed rescue…), I am open to this. Please let me know.

Thank you for your continued support in this fundraiser.

If you are going to be at the Boston Tea Party on Sept 20th, I look forward to meeting you and your dogs!


- Lili
