WOOT Awesome! Will package the Coffee Cartel book up and await further instructions.
I am proud to be part of an artistic community that cares so much about others. I never met the girls, as I know a lot of us didn't, so it makes it all the more special to see people reach out. I commend my fellows artists for their compassion and generosity.
Special thank yous to you Chel. :::hugs::: You made it all happen and all while being even busier than me! (that is saying a lot). Thank you for your dedication and focus. We are truly blessed to have you here and the ZNE art group.
Thank you all.

I bid on an item and was wondering how to make my payment but after reading the post here I see that I will be sent an invoice. I already have three of the address to mail my donations to, still waiting for two more.
Chel all I can say is that you're a wonder of a woman to begin this endeavor and have it run so smoothly and organized. Then you top it off with the precious video. I'm honored to know someone as caring and unselfish as you are. Blessings on you and your family that I'm sure sacrificed time spent with you while you were helping others.
I hope your lunch with Iva and Gail was a wonderful time.
Hugs
