Couple of Important Things...

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all having a great weekend. But whilst we are enjoying ourselves with our families, I just wanted to take a few minutes to think about others less fortunate than ourselves, in particular, the following:

I just couldn't help but mention Austin Hemmings, who lost his life trying to help someone he didn't even know. I did not know him nor his family, but the story has really touched me, and I feel for his grieving family. A true hero. You can read more about the story here: http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/1320238/2108564 .

Also, Debs B is doing a wonderful thing helping out her friend who has terminal cancer. Deb's friend, Lisa, has a bucketlist of things she would like to complete in her lifetime, and Deb is trying to help her achieve them. Most of you probably already know, but Deb has an a few auctions on Trademe this weekend, of donated scrapbooking products, to raise money for Lisa's bucketlist. I think this is fantastic, and want to encourage you all to go bid on some stuff. The link for the auctions is: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=646959&from=fav&sort_order=expiry_asc . The link for the blog to Lisa's bucketlist is here: http://lisasbucketlist.wordpress.com/ .

I just want to say how grateful I am to be spending this weekend with my family and friends. Have a great day.
