Bonnie Jean Woolger Decatur,Ga.

Wooden pen maker, printmaker, book maker, I grew up on the beach in south Florida and live in fear and horror of the oil spill. When I was 11 a sea turtle laid her eggs in our garden on the wrong side of A1A and so when they hatched I filled my pockets and my shirt and made many trips across the road to get the baby turtles on their way to the ocean before they could be hit by cars. I can’t save them from this.

My name is Penny Noble. I am a freelance Artist and I live in Manhattan Beach Ca.

I want to thank Kelly again for all her hard work and for giving me a chance to contribute to helping clean up the horrible oil spill. My 11 year old Granddaughter was moved to paint a Dolphin picture to help too. She was very happy when it was sold. You can see some of my work at http://pennynoble.blogspot.com/
