Meet Ginni. We love her.

Ginni has been a faithful volunteer assistant and beloved friend to the artist of Bee’s Knees for a little over 2 years. She has a really big heart and an amazing capacity to care for people. Recently, some new opportunities have opened up for Ginni and she has decided to pursue a new adventure. We are so excited for her! To celebrate Ginni and show our appreciation and love for her, we threw a party!

We wrote special notes for Ginni.

“Hope that you get lucky days and in your lifetime win a sweepstakes.”

We danced and thought about lucky days for Ginni.

 
We gave Ginni special cards and gifts.

 
We even spent some time creating special “My favorite thing about Ginni” messages.
 
From Ashley:

Good luck in the future Ginni! We love you and think you’re awesome!

One of our beloved sponsors, AutismOklahoma.org, recently released an all new informational video called “Think Differently.” The video is very touching and speaks to the realities experienced by individuals and families affected by autism. Bee’s Knees is featured in it several times. Check it out.

 
What do you think of the video? In your opinion, what is the most important message? If you’re interested, post feedback here on the AutismOklahoma.org Facebook Page.
 

We have great news. Bee’s Knees is back for 2012 and we’ve been hard at work creating an all new collection of original masterpieces!

On Tuesday, January 24th, we had a very special visit from Oklahoma legislators! In attendance were Representative Jason Nelson, Representative Pam Peterson, Representative Wade Rousselot, and Representative Pat Ownbey as well as House staff Marcia Goff and Andrea Merten. They came to see to us at Youth & Family Services, Inc. where we had the opportunity to share with them about the artwork and give them an overview of what Bee’s Knees is all about. We enjoyed meeting them and we think they enjoyed meeting us as well!

On Thursday, January 26th, we decided that because we’d been working so hard on the new 2012 collection, we should take a beak and just hang out… so we did.

First, we went to visit our friends at Today’s Therapy Solutions. We are working on some artwork for their new office and wanted to check in with them. They’re always very kind to us and we were glad to see them!

Then after our visit with Today’s Therapy Solutions, we went to Jo’s Famous Pizza for lunch. It was delicious…

…and we ended up making some new friends!

After lunch, we went to the Myriad Gardens.

Finally, after we left the Myriad Gardens, we went to Cuppies & Joe for cupcakes and coffee.

Ashley and Allie made a new friend, not something that is hard for them.

Meet Kyle, an unsuspecting Cuppies & Joe customer. He is very kind.

While we were at Cuppies, David had a brief message that he would like to share.

After we ate our cupcakes and drank our coffee, we headed back to Youth & Family Services, Inc. We had a great day and are glad to be back together for the new year!
