Every Child Is Beautiful Facebook Page, Book, and Exhibit Monday, Dec 7 2009 

Happy holidays and a special thanks to all of you as fans to our Every Child Is Beautiful Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Every-Child-Is-Beautiful/132912056642?ref=nf ! A few of our latest updates:

Thank you to the Southwestern IN Arts Council for letting us be one of three guest artists displaying at 5/3 Bank in downtown Evansville for the month of December. Stop on by if you get a chance!!!

We are SO PROUD of our Every Child Is Beautiful child Shaan Joshi for his strides at learning how to walk! It is through the Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center that he is receiving this wonderful learning opportunity! Way to go Shaan!!!

As a reminder if you or a group that you know is interested in bringing in the exhibit to your community, please don’t hesitate to let me know. The purpose of the book and the exhibit is to help facilitate dialogue with our younger generation in a manner that is simple for you to open the conversation and easy for them to understand. I look forward to the exhibit going April 2 – May 15, 2010 to the South Shore Arts- Crown Point Branch 138 South Main Street, 46307 as part of the “See The World Through My Eyes” Autism Awareness Celebration, and I hope that if you have a similar need, that you will consider bringing the exhibit to your town!

If you feel like it, please take the time to share the site via the “Suggest to Friends” button on the Facebook page, and for anyone interested, the books do make a wonderful Christmas gift. They can be purchased through the http://www.everychildisbeautiful.com website, and as a reminder all proceeds go to benefit the Easter Seals Southwestern IN.


Happy Holidays and God Bless!

Warmest regards,
Nikki Davis

Long time, no blog Monday, Nov 16 2009 

Wow! It has been a long time since I’ve blogged! You may wonder why I seem to have fallen off the face of the earth. The reality is that I have spent the last few months working on a few projects that I am tremendously excited to have been and to be a part of!

As some of you know, I produced Evansville’s 2009 Contemporary Bride Expo that was held SUN, NOV 8th at the Centre. http://contemporarybrideexpo.com/ With nearly 50 vendors, and all of the door proceeds going to Holly’s House, this was a phenomenal event! We look forward to seeing everyone again next year on SUN, NOV 7th again at the Centre!

Those of you on Facebook can become a fan HERE.

I also spent the late summer launching my children’s book Every Child Is Beautiful http://everychildisbeautiful.com/ , which also has an accompaying photography exhibit currently at the Children’s Museum of Evansville (cMoe). The exhibit will be featured there until the end of November, and then will move to the downtown Evansville branch of 5/3 bank. After that, it will be available for non-for-profits to bring into their communities to include in their diversity training for young children. For more information, feel free to call me at (812) 449-4118.

Now that the bridal show is done and my time frees up a bit, I look forward to my usual consultations, preparing for January’s bridal shows, working on my second children’s book, and the holidays!

I hope all is well with you and yours!

Warmest regards,

Nikki
