Help Special Needs Greyhounds with Stella & Dot

I adopted my greyhound, Flash, From McGregor Greyhound Welfare Center in Alabama & the staff was wonderful in helping him come home to me. I truly can’t imagine my life without him! He went from a shy, nervous dog to one who is happy and bouncing – always with a wagging tail! The adoption volunteers work very hard to place these wonderful greyhounds in homes not just in Alabama but in homes all over the country! Unfortunately, the group is a bit short on funds now to help some of their “special needs” dogs such as Maddock and Slick!

So what do you have to do to help?!?!

As a stylist with the ultra-fashionable Stella & Dot jewelry, I am going to be holding an “online only” trunk show starting immediately until December 31, 2011

Just purchase any item(s) from my personal Stella & Dot website – www.stelladot.com/cindipatterson - and I will donate 50% of my commission from all purchases during this period to McGregor Greyhound Welfare Center for the benefit of their special needs dogs!

And for a super fun bonus…

Normally, if you held a trunk show in your home, as the hostess, you would be eligible to receive free and half priced jewelry based on the totally amount of sales from the event.

Because this is trunk show is “online only” - anyone making an order in excess of $150, will have his/her name entered in a drawing held on January 1, 2012 to be the online “hostess” & receive the hostess perks of free and half-priced jewelry!

(The amount of benefits you’ll ultimately receive will depend on the total amount of the overall “online only” show)

In short, you’ll look fabulous for spring in some gorgeous jewelry, help special needs greyhounds AND have the chance to win some free jewelry too!

Thank you!

p.s. if you're quick, you can still order by December 19th & receive your items in time for Christmas!

We're Baaaccckkkk!

Well things have certainly changed. For the better I hope. A very trying summer has led into an interesting fall, and what so far, as been a good winter. Flash & Evie are still together with me. Gracie is behind at the house. Without going into all the sordid details, I tried to keep all three dogs together, but logistically, I was unable to do so when I moved. We still see Gracie most weekends [as we just took her out this past Sunday]. She's quite lonely being an only dog now, and certain people work too much to care about her well-being & spend time with her, but I hope she'll adjust over time.

Flash is not the same dog I talked about a year ago or even 6mo ago! It's amazing! He's friendly, outgoing, and quite cheeky with other dogs when we're out & about.

Evie is doing well. She turned 11yrs on 10/17 and I hope to spend many more years with her! She can still be weird at times. But that's Evie. Next week she's going in for a dental & will probably lose half her remaining teeth :(

And me... the job situation is [unfortunately] stagnant. But I'm starting a GREAT supplemental opportunity to bring in some extra money & keep these dogs in the style to which they've become accustom! What is it you ask???? I will be a stylist for Stella & Dot Jewelry! Go check them out - and if you need anything, of course shoot me a message :)

Loving where I live now. Loving the great group of friends I've made over the last 7mo. Love the support I've received from friends in Australia, England, and all over the US. Odd how I can almost trust friends I've made who are thousands of miles away rather than those who are closer.

Here's a picture to tide you over. I'll write more later! Glad to be back :)
