It's my birthday. But for the past 5 years, it's kinda just been like any other day. The last birthday I celebrated with those who gave me life was my 47th. That seems like a century ago.</strong></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>I have tried really hard to put some distance between my emotions and not letting the day go by without being thankful for all the blessings I have in my life. My family - my boys. They spoil me. I couldn't have made it through these years without them. My friends - those sweet people who get me. I love them for that. But, mostly my faith. Faith has brought me to where I am today. Faith is what gave me strength and peace during the final days of my parents lives. Faith is what has brought me to who I am today.</strong></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Many of you know, some don't. My Mother was a Nun, yes a real life Nun. With a habit, with Rosary beads. So it's no wonder that so much of my jewelry has a religious theme. Especially to Mary, the Blessed Mother, Ave Maria, the Milagros, to the Miraculous Medals. Really, it's a tribute to my Mom. The last words we spoke was the Hail Mary before she took her last breath. It's why I'm making jewelry. It took me about a year to go through my Mom's things after she passed away. But what I found astounded me. Mom never really spoke about her days in the convent, so when I opened her jewelry box and found many Rosary beads and medals, I was shocked. It made me realize what her faith meant to her. I just knew at that very moment what I needed to do . . . I was going to carry on a little of that faith through my jewelry. Some may be offended, but the way I look at it, we could all use a little love, peace and strength from the Blessed Mother. </strong></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Yup, that's right! It's my birthday . . . on Monday, November 18. I came into the world on a cloudy day in West Islip, New York. It was a joyful day as I was the firstborn child to my parents, Patrick (Joe), and Ann (Betty) Kelly. Even though I think my Daddy really wanted a boy, I was the apple of his eye, his Patty Ann. Through the years, my Mom always made MY day special - she would make these crazy chocolate kiss corsages that had coins and dollar bills dangling off of it. I remember being embarrassed the first time I wore it to school on my birthday thinking that my friends would think I was a dork, but it soon passed when they all asked my Mom to make one for them. I love that memory. </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>So let's have a GIVEAWAY - what better way to celebrate my birthday than by giving you all a shot at winning some fabulous prizes. And right before Christmas and all . . .</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>on Monday, I'll be giving away (2) $50 shop credits and (1) $100 credit to be used any way you like, just as long as you use it before 12/31/13. </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Here's how we're going to do it. Write your favorite birthday memory here, and pick one of the following collages as your favorite by simply answering with the corresponding letter - A, B, C, etc. </strong></span><br />

Today I'm going to share with you how I came up with the name. I know, it's something you've all been waiting to hear. I'm sure you've spent hours wondering, right? It's a simple answer, but you'll have to read on. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong>Back in the early 2000's, a few friends and I decided to start a book club. Our kiddos were still pretty young, we all loved to read, and it just seemed like the right thing to do . . . Oprah had her book club, so why not. I have a terrible memory for "real" details, and I can honestly say I don't remember the name of the book. It could have been an Elizabeth Berg book - she was one of our favorite writers. Anywho, we read a book about a young lady who was venturing out to write her very first book. It was a smaltzy book, one in which she really wanted to write about real life things that were going on in her circle of friends. BUT, she didn't want them to know it was she who was dishing on them. So she came up with a way to have a pen name . . . okay, are you ready for it??? This is the big reveal . . . do you want to give me a <span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">hint on how she came up with her pen name? Okay, sorry - like you can just jump in here and answer that stupid question. She came up with her name by . . . </span></strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Oh, that's me sitting on the lawn of the first house I lived in, and then that's my Nanny pushing me in the blue carriage around our yard on 9 Stockton Street, Brentwood, NY. Ah, that's one part of my name. The first street I lived on. Well what about Tippy? Well, if you must know, Tippy was the name given our very first dog - he was a black lab mix with with white socks, and a white tip on his tail. Get it, Tippy??? </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>So there you go. While at this one particular book club night, we went around the room and my pen name would have been Tippy Stockton. I have to say, I thought it was pretty cute. Tuck that one in the memory bank. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Fast forward to 2009 - I have selected the name of my little company, had the business cards printed, started telling everyone I knew what I was doing. I was so proud, so excited and thought I had a pretty cute thing going on with my cute company name until . . . a young girl (and I wish I knew who and where this said girl was) says to me, "is that your STRIPPER name". WHAT??? Stripper name??? What do you mean? First dog, first street??? OMGosh, now I'm completely embarrassed - I had no clue. So let me set the record straight. NO, I'm not a stripper - seriously :) - I still go by my original story of how I came up with the name - I have witnesses who can attest to that, ahemmmmm . . . Kimberly :)</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>So now that you know, how are you feeling? I feel good that I was finally able to put this to bed. The burning question has been answered, I'm still here to talk about it, and you all are up to speed. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Okay, I gotta get cracking. I have lots to do before the <span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">REALLY BIG ANNIVERSARY SALE BEGINS TOMORROW. </span> Over and out . . . xo</strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>This was the last day we were all together. It brings tears to my eyes everytime I see it. We were celebrating my parents 50th anniversary . . . September 14, 2007. None of of us would have ever imagined that life could change so drastically in the next year. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /><strong><span style="color: #666666;"></span></strong></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>And, this is the beginning of how Tippy Stockton came to be. So I suppose in a way, it was the worst of times and the best of times. My Dad was suffering from a rare and very fickle cancer - adeno carcinoma of unknown origin. How do you explain that one? We really never knew, only that he was given 3-6 months at the time of his diagnosis. That was December 26, 2002. He was with us until April 24, 2008, passing just 4 days after his 76th birthday. My Dad was a dreamer - hoping and praying that his kids would have better than what he had. No regrets, do what you love were common quips he passed on to me. I had spent my adult work life working for others, only to be cast off when something better came along for them. I always wondered why I had given so much of my heart and soul to my jobs - why shouldn't I give something back to myself. Have my own gig - that was a scary proposition. What if I bombed, what if it just wasn't a good fit for me? At the time I was working for a friend who had ventured out to open a home decor shop in our little town. I loved that job - I truly did. But it became clear that it wasn't where I was supposed to be. I came home from my Dad's service and gave my two weeks notice. I think it was more that I needed time to mourn my Dad's passing around people who understood what I was going through. It also was a time for me to focus on my Mom - could I have her come to WA to live with us? Was I capable of taking care of her? </strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Fast forward to a few months after my dad passed away. I had near daily phone calls with my sweet Mom. As the days wore on, I noticed that she had trouble speaking - not that she didn't have anything to say, she just had trouble getting the breath to say the words. Did she have pneumonia, what was going on? On January 10, I received the call that would turn my world upside down. STAGE 4 LUNG CANCER. Too late for treatment - we'll just make her as comfortable as possible. I quickly flew down to California, never expecting that I would have to say goodbye to my Mom in such a short time. Seven days to be exact. I spent the last few days with her holding her hand and recounting stories from my youth. She even told each of us about the day we were born, and the address to the house where she lived growing up in Jamaica/Queens, NY. My brother googled the address, and there it was, just like she had told us. On January 17, 2009, just 8 months after laying my Dad to rest, my Mom got her wings. I never knew how much I would miss her until the phone went silent. Our daily calls were no more. </strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>I can honestly say that I have never been so low - drained emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I wondered how God could leave the three of us orphans and take my parents so soon. Those would be the questions I would ask myself time and again as the days wore on. So here I am . . . no job, no ambition, just depressed. We had a funeral for my Mom in March of 2009. I stayed on to help my brothers finalize everything. The plane ride home was awful. I felt like I was leaving another life behind - my old life. I too felt old. Now I was the matriarch of our family. That felt really old. </strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>And tried I did. I feel them around me every day prodding me on. They are here, they will always be here. On August 1, 2009, Tippy Stockton was born. The ETSY shingle went up, and I was open for business. It was a slow start, but boy did my dream come true. Just two years after that, on August 1, 2011 I opened my own dot com site. Talk about a leap of faith. And I owe it all to YOU! Thank you for loving my work, believing in me. YOU are who make me so happy - happy to feel alive again and know that this is what God had planned for me. It was my goal to make people happy and make myself happy again. And here I am. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. To coin a phrase, YOU COMPLETE ME! Corny yes, but so true. </strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>SOOOOO, as a thank you to you, for the past 3 years I have celebrated this anniversary with a SALE. Starting Friday, July 12 through Friday, July 19 everything on the site will be on sale. It's my pleasure to offer this to you as a way of conveying my love and thanks for your support. </strong></span><br />

<br />
<strong><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">These are the faces of the little ones that will be moving into the Orphanage that Kim's Mom is building. These are the faces of the little ones who will benefit from the amazing auction going on right now until Wednesday. These are the little ones who will know love like no other - the love of people from far away who care so deeply for them. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I hope you've had a chance to head over to Kim's website @ </span></strong><a href="http://kimberlytaylorimages.com/"><strong><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">http://kimberlytaylorimages.com/</span></strong></a><strong><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and check in on the auction. There's still plenty of time to jump in there and put a bid in. And some fabulous pieces, I have to say! </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">But there's one more thing . . . for the remainder of the week, until Friday, I will be donating 25% of all sales to the little children in this orphanage. I know it's not a lot, but a little goes a long way in helping get this wonderful home built for these little children. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I don't think that I've ever shared this, but my Mom's father, William Dwyer was an orphan. He, a brother and a little sister were dropped off on the steps of a Catholic Orphanage in Queens, NY. They had nothing but the clothes on their back. They were given shelter by the nuns, clothed and fed until they were ready to conquer the world on their own. They called this Orphanage home for many years - they had all the things every child should never go without; shelter, food, and LOVE. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So I hope I can spread a little bit of LOVE for these children. In a way it's a thank you to the nuns for taking such good care of my Grandpa. Sadly, I never met him. He passed away when my Mom was a little girl herself. But I'll never forget the kindness that was given him by the nuns in the orphanage. I'd love to bless Barb too. For she is what LOVE is all about. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Thank you again for reading this. </span></strong>Tippy Stocktonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01548072227335233852noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770009503723501486.post-12495873900968859062013-06-16T19:37:00.000-07:002013-06-16T19:37:03.518-07:00Auction for Africa <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Hello family and friends. Today is a special day. I want to tell you about my friend, Kimberly (shown above). I've known Kim about 4 years now. I met her through my business - she was actually here for my Girlfriend's Garden Party - that was really the beginning of our friendship. Why am I writing tonight? Well, tomorrow is a special day too! You see, Kim and her beautiful and selfless Mother, Barb are going to be traveling to Africa to begin the setting up of a new orphanage in Uganda, and to bless these beautiful children with things no child should ever have to go without. Kim is a gifted photographer and cook - so she's made it her mission to go to Uganda with armfuls of things to set up a kitchen for these precious little ones. If you're like me, you want to know how to help. Well, that's what this post is about. But first . . . here's a photo of Kim and her Mom, Barb. I have never met Barb, but I know what a kind and compassionate woman she is. She is the epitomy of a Saint. Some would allow these children to go on living each day like they have, but Barb is hell bent on making their lives a little brighter. </strong></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>So again, what can we do???</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Here's a bit of information directly from Kim . . . </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>"Hello friends,</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /><strong><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"></span></strong></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>My trip to Uganda is in just over a month and we have been working to collect the things that we will be bringing with us to the children. We are allowed three large suitcases each, with the option to pay for two more. I’m sure we could fill all ten between the two of us with supplies that simply aren’t available there- things that will be so valuable in a place where these things are desperately needed. And while we don’t want to make this home completely westernized, we do want it to be a “home” for these children- the first real home most of them have ever had. We want them to each have a place of their own and I am excited to put together a little “welcome home” parcel for each of them.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /><strong><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"></span></strong></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>When we arrive we will be assessing the house and seeing what it is that needs to be purchased in Kampala before we bring in the children. There is a kitchen that needs to be supplied, basic items for housing and feeding the children, as well as food itself. This is the project I have challenged myself to raise the money for. The more we raise together- the more I can provide for these kids- especially food.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /><strong><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"></span></strong></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>I can’t tell you how much I am looking forward to welcoming them with my mom; to capturing their first days in a place that they can feel safe and happy and can play like children.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /><strong><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"></span></strong></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>While it has taken me a lot longer than I had anticipated to pull all of this together, I am excited to tell you that I have finally organized all of the beautiful donations that my incredibly generous friends have offered so that we can raise money to purchase all that we need for the children. As I want to make every dollar count, I have opted to run the entire process through my website rather than using an online auction source, seeing as they would cost a few hundred dollars- dollars that could be put to much better use elsewhere!</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>The Details:</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /><strong><span style="color: #990000;"></span></strong></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: #990000;">The Auction for Africa will go live on MONDAY June 17th at 8 am PST and run until WEDNESDAY June 19th at 6 pm PST.</span> My plan is to have a separate post for each item, and then biding will be done in the comment section. The auction will run for three days so that everyone will have an opportunity to bid on the items they want. Once the auction closes, I will contact the winning bidders and they will have 48 hours to deposit the bid into my paypal account. If after 48 hours they aren’t able to do so, the second place bidder will be contacted. Once the bid has been paid the item will be shipped- most of which by the person who donated the item. Have I mentioned how generous my friends are?</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /><strong><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"></span></strong></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>So here is what I am asking of you. Not only do I hope that you will bid on the items, but I would be SO GRATEFUL if you would share it – shout it from the rooftops, facebook it, twitter it, blog it- MULTIPLE TIMES if you can! Look, I know I have asked a lot of you in the last year. I know that you have been kind, and giving and so incredibly supportive. If I wasn’t so darn passionate about this, I wouldn’t have the nerve to ask this of you, but I am. I want those kids to move in to this house and know that they are loved and that they don’t have to struggle to survive any longer. I want them to feel safe and secure and be able to be children. Every child deserves that, don’t you think?"</strong></span><br />

30 years ago today . . . it was a gorgeous Saturday in Anaheim, California. A large group of people gathered at a beautiful church, St. Anthony Claret Catholic Church. They were there to witness the marriage of two young people. That's what doesn't seem possible. 30 years ago! I was 22, he was 25, and here we are growing older and wiser together. I wish life would slow down a bit, but I can't wait for the next 30 years. <br />
