Make Someone Happy
"That is a good day in which you make someone happy.
It is astonishing how little it takes to make one happy.
Feel that the day is wasted in which you have not succeeded in this."
[ t. de witt talmage ]
And today my happiness comes from the songbirds outside my window, yes.
But mostly, you make me happy. The auction is going so well
and so many of you have contacted me about donating directly to the
benevolent housing project. How can I begin to say thank you?
Well I can't. I can only tell you that...
You make me happy!
I love the colors you chose for this- both peaceful, and yet, spring-y too! :) Hooray for the auction going well!
Would it be too much to say that *you* make me happy too?

How did I miss this? Is there anyway for me to donate now? I could just send you pictures and mail directly to the buyer myself...just a thought!! What a great thing you are doing!

I'm unable to donate financially at this time, but would love to donate a piece of jewelry to perhaps raise bids. Would that help? You can see my jewelry here: www.moandmo.etsy.com. Thank you!

Through the funds we raise to help, we raise the most important thing of all: awareness.
"What you do unto the least of these, you do unto me."

Ingrid wants to know if you wrote a book because she would love to learn to do beautiful things like yours.
And I want to know what this piece is. Is it a brooch? I must be obsessed with birds, because I love all art representing birds!
