More Information on the Auction

There have been some questions as to when the auction items will close. What I have been doing is listing each item. After it has started receiving a lot of bids I am posting a close date that will still give others an opportunity to find their way here and place a bid if they like. Some of the items that have very generous bids I will go back and move the closing date up. When I do this I will always leave at least 2 days for others to still bid in case they were waiting for the closing date.Thank you all so much for bearing with me... I am new to all of this and am trying to figure out the best way to go about everything that will make it fun for everyone and most beneficial to the children.
When the auction item closes and you are the high bidder... Once you have paid for the auction via the STARFISH LINK on the sidebar. Please forward the receipt Starfish emails you to jewelsofmyheart@yahoo.com with your mailing address. I will then contact the person who donated your item and give them your shipping address and email. They will email you to make arrangements to receive the shipping charge if there is any either by mail or PayPal.
If you would like to make a donation to the auction please send me an email with a picture, description and shipping charges.Thank you again friends.... you are wonderful.

Starfish Story...

An older man was walking along a beach when he saw a young boy. Along the shore were many starfish that had been washed up by the tide and were sure to die before the tide returned. The boy was walking slowly along the shore and occasionally reached down and tossed a beached starfish back into the ocean.
The older man, hoping to teach the boy a little lesson in common sense, walked up to the boy and said, "I have been watching what you are doing, son. You have a good heart, and I know you mean well, but do you realize how many beaches there are around here and how many starfish are dying on every beach every day? Surely, such an industrious and kindhearted boy such as yourself could find something better to do with your time. Do you really think that what you are doing is going to make a difference?"
The boy looked up at that man, and then he looked down at a starfish by his feet. He picked up the starfish, and as he gently tossed it back into the ocean, he said, "For this one, it makes a difference."
