Another Walkway Wednesday

 

A gift from Andrea to me and to the work here - my very own brick.

My fourth Winnie’s Wish Walkway brick fundraiser is currently underway.  The bricks are a way to raise money for the rescue work here.  I love this fundraiser because each brick represents an animal or animals deeply loved by a human being somewhere.  If you are interested in purchasing a brick, you can read all about how to do it below. 

  You can order a brick with text only or you can have text and a picture.  The brick with text only is $50.00 and the brick with text and picture is $55.00.

You can go to *Polar Engraving yourself and look around. The brick color I’ve chosen is Impressions #9 (beige). It shows up the best on the ground. You can browse through the clip art to see if you would like to add a picture or symbol. There are pictures of cats and pictures of dogs. There are many other pictures and symbols, too. (I used an angel on my sample brick.) To look at clip art:  At the website, go to the far right and click on the sixth choice in that column (it has a picture of a butterfly and says Symbols & Clipart). Scroll down to browse through your choices. Some of the categories are Animals, Nature, Religious Symbols, and Miscellaneous. If you want a wider selection of dogs or cats to choose from, scroll all the way down and you will have the option to click on NEXT.  That will take you to the page of additional cat and dog choices.  These are actually pictures of particular breeds, but you might find something that fits. Or - you might prefer a sunburst (under Special Activities) or a heart (under Miscellaneous), etc.

Here are the steps to order your brick.

1.  Email me with your text (and picture if you’re choosing one).  Email address is c3k@lazernetwireless.net  Bricks can have one, two, or three lines of text.  If you are ordering a text-only brick, each line can have up to 18 characters/spaces.  (You can squeeze in up to 20, but 18 or less is recommended for the best look.)  Bricks with text and picture can have up to 15 characters/spaces per line.

2.  Make your donation.  I have a paypal donate button at the top of the sidebar.  Or, you can email me and ask for my home address if you prefer to send a check.  Donation for a text-only brick is $50.  Donation for a text-and-picture brick is $55.

I will collect orders through November 1.  Then I will place my order with Polar Engraving.  When the bricks arrive here, I will take pictures of them as I have with the previous orders.  I should receive the bricks before Christmas.  If your brick is a Christmas gift for someone else, I will send you a picture via email of the brick.  You can use it in an email holiday greeting, or print off and put in a card or box for the recipient.  Of course, I will do the stories behind the bricks again for anyone who wants to send me that information.  I will put those stories on the blog starting after the holidays.

Whether you’re getting a brick for a pet still “in the fur”, for a cherished pet who has moved on, to have your blog represented, or as a gift for friend or family, remember this -  The Walkway is a very permanent means of memorialization.  The Walkway is already SO special.  You’ve witnessed through the stories just how treasured those animals are.   Let me know if you’d like to order a brick during this round.

I love the stories and the pictures of the bricks and I have seen my own and all the others brick in the side walk and it made me feel so prowd that in this way I can help Chrystal in all the good work she does for the furries. I live in a townish neighborhood and can not take on all that she is able to do. Some times she may not be able to see ahead with all the responsibilites that comes with rescue work which is 24/7 with no let up unitl the crisis is handled. The bricks and the money from their sales puts cash in hand to buy the supplies and there are so many to buy -- I hope she can get a big Brick order and that will help to carry her over through the fall... Cool weather is heading this way by the end of the week. Out side chores are harder in the winter. She has worked her magic where most every animal but the larger outside animals are inside in the warmth. She provides out side shelter for those too big for the inside. Let's have a shout out for our friend Chrystal and her great family.. I sleep better at night knowing that more furries and safe and loved.. The Fur Family

I love the brick stories too!! Each one is a treasure!

You love your kitties and doggies, you know you want to honor them, or even memoralize one who has gone ahead to the bridge. This is the perfect way to do that AND to help the kitties of Winnie's Wish!!
They make great gifts to those you love too! Say your parents have a beloved kitty or doggie, wouldnt having them on the walkway be a great present? Got a friend who's hard to buy for? If they love animals, this is perfect!

Please dont forget to share about the great kitties looking for homes! Adoptions are desperately needed!
Books, bricks, adoptions, fundraiser, donations, adoptions! oh, and adoptions!! Please help where you can!!
