Care Package, Donation ?

Re: Care Package, Donation ?

  • Whatever everyone feels is best--I'd be happy to reach out to Dana by FB to ask her to create the sculpture for Emily and Sean if that's what we all decide to do.
  • I also really like eouellet's idea of the Whole Foods GC. I agree that being out at a restaurant might not be ideal for some people going through this.

    How about an angel piece and the GC?  It looks like there are enough people who want to contribute that it should be easy to afford both.

    I agree. Maybe we can do both a gift card and a sculpture?

    I do think the angels are beautiful, and they made me cry.

  • So - how do we organize the collection?  Is there any way to use the Elfster site to share an address or contact info, since I think we are all part of the SS group already and it's a 'central' point?  FB?

    I was wondering this too. How about PayPal?

  • I'm late, but count me in as well. The angels are beautiful and I think a gift card would be really nice.
  • PayPal works for me. Does anyone have any color/style input for the sculpture? I know euoellet said neutrals, and I like that idea, but if anyone else had any thoughts, please chime in.

    I'm a fan of the neutral - maybe that lovely pearly grey colour - but I think that getting colours for the babies would be nice too. I personally like the angel wings more than the butterfly wings.

    I also really liked the suggestion that it include both the mother and father (i.e. the Foursome one - lots of them seem to be a variation of this). But I also love the first two listed on the page depicting the babies sharing gifts (stars, flowers) and their stories from heaven. They seem so hopeful.

    Idunno... they're all really beautiful. It's hard to decide.

    I completely agree with Ringy.  I like the neutral colors, and prefer the angel wings over butterly wings.

    Me as well.

    PayPal is probably the easiest way to do the money thing.  Who wants to take charge of that?  One of you people down there in the States is probably best.

  • I contacted my friend just to make sure she'd be able to do the sculpture, to let her know what the background was, and what the style thoughts were. Also to ask her for ideas. She wrote back with this:

    "I have a particular sculpture that came to mind, which is this one http://www.etsy.com/listing/58746159/unity-family-of-five-made-to-order?ga_search_query=unity&ga_search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_5258817 and you can reference the final pics in the listing to see it made with triplets. instead of the middle baby touching mom's face, he can be holding stars and daddy can be holding the girls as shown and they can hold stars as well. i also have a silver little crescent moon the same size as the stars and one could hold the moon, and one can hold a fluffy piece of mohair that looks like a cloud and it can have a 'Tokens from Heaven' theme."

    Thoughts?

    And me! I think its all a good idea. The sculptures are gorgeous and I think would be really touching. I agree a neutral color would be good and the angel wings are way better than the butterfly wings. I am willing to contribute to this and to a gift card.
