Re: Care Package, Donation ?

  • I think it's perfect.  I like the second from bottom picture, with the neutral colours.

    Your friend is very very talented.

    We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

    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?

    I love it. I love the idea of three different tokens for each of the babies - I think that would sort of give each angel baby their own personality. Your friend is so thoughtful.

    And after giving it some more thought, I think just one neutral colour would be really nice. I like how it would express unity of the family.

    I hope the babies are up in heaven playing with their puppy Zeus.

  • Susi, I like your friend's description of the sculpture... sounds perfect. 

    Also, I'd be willing to handle the paypal.

    I agree with all of this. It sounds absolutely beautiful.

    I totally agree about the neutral color. 

    And about the babies and Zeus.

    That one was my favorite too, and I like her ideas for them as well.  I am in to contribute to both GC and sculpture as well.

  • I like the layout of the one she suggested, but I personally prefer the idea of them hugging/holding the parents rather than bringing "tokens from Heaven."  That's just my two cents though - it will be lovely either way and I'm in regardless.
  • That sounds perfect. And I think they would appreciate the tokens idea, with each baby having a different personality.  K, just let us know how we paypal money to you.  I've only done it before for businesses not between people.

    I'm way late, but I'm in.  Whoever takes the money, just know that I might be a bit slow since I'm not able to get online too often.  I'm definitely going to donate.

  • I've spread the word about the donations on the GP Moms board my January birth month board. I know it will be mainly August girls contributing, but I felt that it wouldn't hurt to let others know what happened with FMO.

    She needs all the love, prayers and support she can get.
