3. You're welcome ...

My mom's b-day is the 3rd ... so I have the lucky advantage of combining two gifts into one. :D

I'm such a bad daughter. :(

6. Might I suggest shopping at the Hunger Site's gift store?

or any of those "site" stores.

part of the proceeds go to charity and they have some really unusual gifts, beautiful jewelry and good prices.

7. Great idea, thanks!

And there's still time to order something, too. I guess I'd better give her a real gift since she got a contribution to the Kerry campaign for her birthday. :)

site

12. Great site!

I got some Fair Trade recycled silk skeins (she's a knitter) from the Rainforest site and saved 2,000 acres of rainforest! :)

13. Way to go

I love shopping at those sites.

:woohoo:

9. Thanks for that link ...

I just found a perfect gift for mom there! Her mom (Rose) died about 7 years ago. Shortly after that, my mom's sister had a little girl (Amber, who was a big surprise) ... and mom has always felt like she was such a gift after what our family went through with Grandma, who was bi-polar & had suffered a lot her whole life. The Christmas after Amber was born, I wrote mom a poem about Rose & Amber ... and had it framed for her. She always says it's the best gift she's ever gotten.

So, anyway (sorry about my rambling :)) - they have an Rose Pin made out of Amber on that site! Too perfect! Again, thank you.
