The Seeing Eye is a wonderful organization, promoting independence and dignity for the blind. One of my visually impaired customers connected me with them a while back, and I love to let others know about them. If you have a loved one or friend who could use their services, do contact them!

If you would like to bid on an auction item to help them out (including some Magic Zoo items, of course!) then please go to this wonderful website for the blind.

Here is what this organization has to say about their auction:

“Our third annual online auction will be open for bidding from 9:00 AM on April 29 to 10:00 PM on May 12.

“As always, all items in the auction catalog are donated by generous individuals and organizations, and all proceeds from the final sale price of each item go directly back into our programs.”

My contest is now over, and I want to say that…

You are all amazing!!!

Having to choose between all these outstanding responses was not easy, and that is putting it mildly. But I have my winners and runners up almost figured out, and will announce them here on Tuesday at noon.

Thank you all for sending in your creative animal and animal jewelry stories. I learned a lot about what my jewelry means to so many, and believe me, it is very humbling indeed.

See you on Tuesday! – Merry
