In partnership with

 The Arts and Crafts Section is in its present form because Rose shared her personal forum (now the Art Show) with other creative members and offered us “her place” to show our work.  Seeing a need for more exposure for creative talent in the Community, with her generous spirit, she continued and her Award Winning Arts Exhibitions at Adland was born!  Rose’s article tells a true story. Through hard work, unselfishness, and for “the love of art” she has been the prime mover in fulfilling a long time dream for many –an active and useful Arts and Crafts Section at Adland.  

As her article demonstrates, Rose is a joy to work with, a genuine Team leader, and always gives credit when due.  Her personal transition is a true example of satisfaction gained by helping others.

Thank you Rose for a fantastic Article of Virtue.

SHARING AND CARING by Rose Enderud

Often I was just going through the motions as it would have been the blind leading the blind if I had been asked for help. I was doing what I thought would help me

Then after an illness I got back on line. I found my way to Adlandpro where I decided my main focus would be my artwork. I started a forum to show off my "masterpieces". There was some polite interest.
Then I invited my friends to post their work. Interest picked up. My forum was no longer about me it was about us, my friends and me. Interest grew.

Around this time the light went on. I was learning to take the emphasis off of myself and start to help others. Which is what I knew was right in my heart all the time.

Next I changed the forum to, Artshow original arts and crafts from Adland, http://community.adlandpro.com/forums/thread/423695.aspx and sent out a PM inviting everyone to come and post their art or craft work. It truly became a way of helping anyone at Adlandpro who created any visual art or craft work to show it.

That is how we evolved to the point of being able to bring all of Adlandpro the marvelous talents that are exhibited in the Arts Exhibition Forum

http://community.adlandpro.com/forums/18879/Showforum.aspx. We started first begging artists to let us do an exhibition of their work. We put it together for the love of doing it. We brought Venerina Conti on board the team to help us set up some blogs for additional support.

Now we have artists seeking us out asking how they can participate.
A number of other people have been encouraged to create forums in the arts and crafts area. It is becoming a significant section of Adlandpro. Like Jenny's Arts and Crafts-Where to buy and sell them

http://community.adlandpro.com/forums/21480/ShowForum.aspx

This wonderful transition occurred for me because I learned to take the emphasis off of myself and do something for and with others.
I have to thank Jenny SJ for all of her support and help keeping me on track through the last year and Venerina for blogging the Arts Exhibition Forum.

About the Author:

Sharing with others can be a pleasure as long as we receive positive criticism but can sometimes be devastating to a creative person.  Sharing should be selective to your audience and always honesty is the key.  If you really care for persons and things, it is automatic.  A caring person is one you want for a friend and you can always rely on that person to be there for you.  The subject here is well-chosen and we know that Rose is a ‘Sharing and Caring’ person.  Life teaches us many lessons and what really works is that you treat your neighbor as you would want to be treated and be honest about it. 

Definitely, Rose has learned that the arts are a way of healing and by “Sharing and Caring” we can all benefit from the soothing effects of creativity.  A person should always be proud of their creations and don’t mind too much about the “I” thing.  After all, it was your creation and you should be proud of it and to share it with others only makes it grow and expand to help others by Caring.

So friends, now tell us what you feel about Rose’s Article of Virtue and this wonderful forum of Sam’s.

Hi everyone,

This week, we are celebrating the ‘Curator’ of our community, the chief security officer in charge of ALP’s Arts and Artifact collection, Rose Enderud. It is an honor so great to be the first to reveal the success story behind Rose’s Adland Art Show and Adland Art Exhibition Forum. Jenny SJ, who, herself is a vital member of the Arts team made a solid in-road to our latest Article of Virtue.

In “Sharing and Caring” Rose bares it all in a very humane and virtuous style to everyone’s admiration. Now you know what it takes to have a vibrant and successful forum or any other possession in life. According to her wise counseling “we should take the emphasis off of ourselves and learn to work with and for others” What a benefiting advice from a creative mind. Lady Sara Blow has put it point blank “Life teaches us many lessons and what really works is that you treat your neighbor as you would want to be treated and be honest about it” There is nothing more to add. 

I pray you have an artistic and creative weeks ahead.
