P.N.N. X R&D for Typhoon Haiyan Charity

 
Biiiig Thanks and Gratitude I give my talented friends at P.N.N. - the dolly group I am proud to be a part of in the Philippines....   Truly a bunch of nice people who loves their hobby so much and are extremely nice and warm people who believes in SHARING and GIVING BACK - something I have always adhere to and have been happily doing so - doing what I can, anyway.
 
This Typhoon Haiyan Charity Auction Sale would not be complete without the efforts of these creative, and super talented members!  Actually, even in my initial thoughts about how to do this Charity Event - they have been in mind - as I always know I can count on them for their support and kindness...   and here we are, with some of the most Stunning, Unique, Lovely, & Whimsical One Of A Kind Offerings - all to Benefit the Haiyan Typhoon Victims.
 
Most of these talents below you all pretty much have heard of on the Internet: Facebook, Dolly Boards, eBay, etc...   Their creations have WOWED so many of us - both locally and internationally...  and some of you have had the pleasure of seeing and owning their creations through my collaborations with them for the IFDC Charity Events the past few years.

An Act of Kindness!

The Holidays are truly a Magical time of the year....  I can HONESTLY say it brings out the BEST in people....  Smiles All Around...  and Kindness...  and just yesterday, I was overwhelmed by the Kindness of a Dolly friend, Uriah Redden...
He contacted me with his generous donations of a Color Infusion D doll and a NRFB Alice in Wonderland's Queen of Hearts Barbie Doll....  much too kind....  Even had a bit of an identity confusion on my part - to which am still very red from (but that's another story!).

Later in the day, Rob emailed again regarding a buyer who was emailing him in hopes to buy the Color Infusion doll...  He replied that he has already donated the doll to our Typhoon Haiyan Charity Auction Sale  and told me about it...  I had told him that since, I have not posted the dolls yet on the Charity Album or Blog - to go ahead and feel free to sell the doll he had listed For Sale before....  The Queen of Hearts as a donation was already much too kind....  Then I went off to bed...
 
This morning I checked my In Boxes, as I do each and every morning...  a few emails came through from Rob and his buyer, Gloria Kang.  Rob did sell the doll and much to my surprise, he still asked Gloria to contact and pay me... Rob (Uriah) still generously donated the proceeds to our Charity Fundraiser....   My heart was overjoyed by this act of kindness....  I cannot even express the Gratitude am feeling from this kindness....  but it surely reaffirms my Faith in People's Kindness, how Wonderful Doll Collectors are in general,  and the Power of Christmas - the Season of Giving!
 
From the Bottom of My Heart, I Thank You So Very Much, Rob...  God Bless!!!
