I thought it was wonderful and was going to ask if they were taking online offers but didn't see it until thurs. night and by that time too late but I did see where you said they weren't.<br /><br />You are really something to offer to duplicate it. That is always hard to do.

Happy Day, Happy Giving
So like you to...Dear Susan<br />Happy Day, Happy Giving<br /><br />So like you to offer to make another purse and to personalize it properly. Actually, that second purse will be even MORE special than the first since it will be given in the true spirit of giving. This is such a generous gesture.<br /><br />Thank you for the card. I have been thinking of doing just such a think. I was in Michaels last week and struck up a conversation with a lady after she apologized for taking up room in the area I was looking. At the end of our conversation she reached into her purse and handed me a zip lock back with a lighthouse ornament in it she had made with a nice saying on it. Basically kindness is the light of life. I liked that gesture so much, I was thinking about how I could pass it on. Then you posted your purse post and now I have a copy of your card for an idea.<br /><br />You, my friend, are the light of life and you continue to cast your beam farther than you know.<br /><br />Much love to you<br />CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-92158820405671803582010-03-04T23:27:41.995-05:002010-03-04T23:27:41.995-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10459700539201120184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-54374044768934422652010-03-04T23:26:57.213-05:002010-03-04T23:26:57.213-05:00Susan, It was so wonderful meeting you.

If anyone deserves to own this giving bag it is her, no doubt about it. <br /><br />I read the post you linked to with tears in my eyes. It is a wonder that at hard times people like Maura exist and do what they think needs to be done, asking nothing in return, just for you to be happy and feel that warm big hug they intend.<br /><br />If you see her again, tell her thank you for me, for being such an awesome friend to you. Because that is what you deserve too.Deeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18258188651834672950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-28630775715203671812010-03-04T14:47:35.190-05:002010-03-04T14:47:35.190-05:00Congratulations!
