Give It Up! by Emily Rabbit

TA DA!
The very lucky winners of Marianne and Caroline's art are:
.
Marianne's Mandala:
kj (can you believe it?) $ 70
.
Caroline's Surprise Painting:
Oliver & Debra Kay $ 85
.
This does not include all the contributions kj and I received, cash and clothes and good deeds. Even I Emily Rabbit am very touched to see all this kindness. However, I will now resume being my bratty self, because I am actually more lovable that way. kj says she will add up all the donations and announce a total soon. We did good, everybunny, I mean, everybody. HAHAHA
.
lOVE
Emily V.V. Rabbit
.
Hello Everyone, it's me, Emily, finally. I had to wait for kj to show off her pictures of Santa Fe but here I am now. For one more time only I am going to be very polite and sweet and keep my promise to do something nice for this Wishes & Dreams Foundation that kj likes. After this I will be my whiny and complaining self again, ready to remind you how to cry deep from your stomach and kick your feet in the air when you want your own way.
.
When I mentioned that I am doing a good deed a few weeks ago, I got some nice responses so now I am here to collect the money and see who else wants to be nice with me this one time.
.
There are three ways you can contribute, remember?
.
1. kj knows a very smart 13 year old girl who is in foster care and has had a hard time and wants acting lessons. If you like this idea, the best thing to do is to send kj a check. If you email her, she will send you her address.
.
Or if you have this thing called Paypal, you can send money to kj's email from there.
.
Or you can order a copy of kj's book right here on her blog at the sidebar and she will donate $10 to where ever you want. If you don't want the book you can order it anyway and instead of sending it to you kj will donate all the money except the tax.
.
Or it gets even better. But you have to wait a minute until I finish with this list and you will see.
.
2. The other thing you can do instead is to help this doctor named Maithri who works in Swaziland Africa and helps children who don't have mothers or fathers and need everything, even clean water. If you want to donate here, you should go to http://possibledreamsinternational.org/ and you can give whatever you want right there.
.
3. And third, you don't need money for this one. Just do something nice for someone and don't get caught. But you have to tell me or kj what you did because it will give someone else an idea of how to do something nice, maybe even me.
.
And don't forget: for everyone who makes even a dollar contribution I will have a drawing to see who wins and the prize will be that I, Emily V. V. Rabbit, will be a guest writer on your blog AND I will write about whatever subject you want me to write about .
.
Now wait until you hear this!!!!! Do you know my best friend Marianne? Well she and kj's friend Caroline have both offered one of their original paintings to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.


We are talking about very good art here--see for yourself:



This is Marianne's mandala. It is a big one 10,6 x 13,8” (27 x 35 cm) Watercolor, ink micron pen glitter and pearls. kj already has a bid of $ 50 for this so you have to pay more than that. But I can tell you with my own eyes that this mandala that my best friend Marianne painted is worth a year's supply of jellybeans at least, plus they bring you good luck. So if you want it you can have it plus you will be doing something nice. kj says to tell you that the highest bidder decides where the money should go, to kj's client or to Dr. Maithri.
.
TA DA! And now for Caroline's painting!!!! It will be a surprise painting but here are some examples of how fantastic she is.

.




If you get Caroline's painting you can talk to her about what you might like and what she will paint something for you. I bid my $15 on this already and can you believe it that kj bid $ 25, which I thought was very selfish of her so I really don't want her to win so I hope someone else will bid more than $ 25.

I will leave the bidding open for 48 hours, which around here means until Sunday night. I know there are alot of good causes to give money too but I am the only RABBIT doing this and I think that is a good reason all by itself for you to help out, besides it isn't every day that I stop whining and complaining and do this instead, so maybe if this works out you will end up being a good influence on me, which maybe will be good but then again, maybe I'm better off kicking my feet and crying from my stomach....
.
Some of you asked if you could send presents along with contributing money. kj says that is fine. In addition to her 13 year old, there is 4 year old Angelina, 5 year old Xavier, and 10 year old Daria. And there is 48 year old Alice who only has one pair of clothes. kj says she looks like she is a size 16.
.
Anyway, so far Suki has already made a contribution and here is who else I think said they wanted to:
Debra Kay
FireByrd
Margaret
Lori Ann
Chic Geek Ms. Kelly
Melissa
Marion
Mim
.
And don't forget, it doesn't have to be money, it can just be a good deed. I hope some new people and maybe even a few rabbits will join in. My Uncle Bunny might be able to--he has money from selling rabbit pellets, remember?
.
So that's all I have to say today. Oh, one more thing. kj said if I get 25 comments she will pay me my $ 10 this week. And if I do and she pays, I am going to buy jellybeans. I am. I don't care if you think I should contribute that $ 10 too. I've done enough. I am only a little bunny and here I am raising money and hoping for the best. I think that's enough, don't you agree?
.
Next week I might teach Margaret how to play.
Sincerely yours,
.
Emily Rabbit

    Oh these are all so wonderful, it is hard to choose. I wish I had a million billion dollars, i'd share it all. The paintings are so so beautiful. please tell kj I will email her about one of them. and while your at it give her a hug okay?

    love,
    lori

  3. it's not too long Emily, it's lovely. I am sending some money to KJ via paypal, but will also bring her a coat for her older lady that I think will fit. And I will look for other stuff OK???

    ReplyDelete
  4. lori ann, kj loves you. did you know? if i don't get to 25 comments, maybe you could check and send what i need. but you should trick kj by using different names so she won't be able to squirm out of paying me. thank you lori ann, sincerely emily r.

    mim, kj loves you too. you already know, right? i got the money!! that is very nice. and kj said she will take the coat and whatever else you have so that is nice too. oh and kj said you should take care of yourself over thanksgiving and not be too polite or nice. don't forget what you've already learned from me, mim. don't be a scardy cat if you need to lie on the ground and kick your feet.
    yours truly, e.r.

  5. Kj:
    I really wanted to read a little of your lovely blog and enjoy missis rabit tales, which I love and have fun with. I like a lot what you are doing.
    And once again thanks for all your support you are a fantastic woman! I am awfully fond of you (I know you do not use that expression in english but I felt it like that)
    Best of the best for you

  6. Emily, I think you did an amazing job writing this! I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that you will pick my name to write on my blog! How much fun will that be? I can't even imagine.

    Please tell kj I will email her for her address today and I will put a bid in for one of Caroline's paintings at the same time.

    It's so nice you've remembered to put the ages of the other kids in the family...and even the Mom! I think kj should pay you extra for remembering all those ages...that's hard to do!

    You are a super bunny!

  7. ms. mariana, i told kj what you said and she smiled very big and said she is double glad you are back visiting her. do you think rabbits get as mushy as people do? i was just wondering.

    ms. marion, oh you are going to email kj about your bid? well, that is okay but as soon as i know what it is i am going to blab it to everyone unless you tell me i shouldn't and then i won;t but i really want to so try not to tell me that, okay? and all those ages are not the same family. kj has all these clients who have all these needs, she just picked out some who have really big needs for christmas. and thank you for saying i did an amazing job writing. that is very nice of you and who knows, i might get kj to give me more money because you said that; anyway maybe i will sneak your name in the bowl twice so i can write on your blog--oops, i'm not supposed to say that because it's cheating, right? ooops
    :)

    yours truly,

    emily r.

  8. I can see you need lots more comments so that you can buy your jellybeans, so I'm helping here!! I would like to bid for one of Caroline's paintings and Marianne's marvellous mandala, they are so beautiful. I don't think your post is too long to read either. It's been fun. Love, BT. xxx

  9. I wish I had some money to make a bid, but a good deed is what I will have to do and it is a hard thing to do a good deed for someone without them knowing it, but I have my thinking cap on :-).
    Emily, thank you for this post.xoxo

    ReplyDelete
  10. Right, now I understand Emily, thank you for your helpful email. I bid $60 on Marianne's mandala and $30 on Caroline's picture. xxxxx

  17. Dear Emily,

    Doesn't it feel good to be nice?

    Because I've had a few mishaps along the way and I never got the print posted for Maithri's charity I'm just going to send a check to him. I'm also going to look for clothes for the mom who has only one outfit and I'm going to either buy art supplies or give KJ a check to put the money to one of the kids who needs stuff.

    We can all do something, right Emily?

    Oh, some-bunny loves you!

    xoxo

  28. annie, what good deed are you going to do? i can't wait to know!

    debra kay and oliver, oh, bid away! oliver, i think you and i could teach all debra kay and kj's friends how to squawk and have more fun, don't you think so? we could charge, oliver, make some extra money, right?

    lololo, i am not surprised you are going to do something nice too because i know you secretly follow my example including crying from your stomach when you need to and rolling down hills and throwing frozen peas at the window. kj says you are a good friend and actually i think so too but i don't want to get too mushy because i am happier when i complain, right?

    ms, renee, this comment is way too serious. i like it better when you say the f word (hee hee) and swear all over the place. come back and do that if you want, okay?

    sincerely yours,
    e. r.

  29. margaret, did you know kj is thinking of meeting dr. maithri in this place in africa to volunteer her time and if she goes, i am going to sneak along. maybe you would like to come too? she was going to go this coming march but instead she is selfishly going to aruba with her family but maybe the following march she is going to go and if she does that will be a nice thing as long as there are not spiders like her friend lori told her there are, right? ps thank you for giving $. that is very nice of you. please roll down on hill before i give you more lessons. or at least throw a few frozen peas.

    caroline, why should debra kay get your painting? sometimes the world is not fair. but then again, kj says debra kay is a really nice and fun woman and she says you will like painting for her. but it's not over until tonight so maybe bt or someone else will bid more than debra kay and i think the whole thing is very fun to watch, don't you? ps thank you too for doing this. kj says you are her new good friend and she likes that.

    sincerely,
    e. rabbit.

  33. dear emily,
    please tell kj i'll be sending a check to her (i have her address already)as well as a spider proof potion that i made for her africa trip.
    there is not really any such thing as a spider proof potion, but please don't tell kj that because i don't want her to be afraid (like i was) of the awful spiders in africa.
    ok?

  38. BT-Oliver the Parrot here-Sorry, but I bid against my own woman, I will have to bid against you too. I am not really sorry, but the woman says I need to try to be more polite. So I lied about being sorry. Humans have funny rules.

    $85 dollars for Caroline's painting.

    ReplyDelete
  39. It is now 11:12 in Oklahoma which means it is 12:12 in the East-I win I win, me me me, MISTER BIRD.

    If anyone wants to hear an acceptance speech I can make one up.

    ReplyDelete
  40. One last try, $90 for Caroline's painting.

    ReplyDelete
  41. BT, you were 14 minutes late and i am very sad for you and maybe i would have cheated for the extra money and so you wouldn't be sad but debra kay and oliver were keeping track of the time and they would probably have sued me and i was already arrested once so i have to give caroline's painting to them which i hope you understand and are not mad and will still want to be friends because it is not really my fault that you were 14 minutes late and debra kay was keeping track, right?

    sincerely yours,
    emily

    ReplyDelete
  42. wow
    how exciting is to witness this much care and concern...

    the bidding was really fun!

  45. It is I, ME ME ME, Mister Bird and the woman says I must not be allowed to post any more other than Wednesday. But she did say that we must be fair, and winning must be fair and square.

    Don't get excited BT, I am still going to win, but I will instruct the woman to send an even $100 because this is my first bidding war and I want to know I WON.

    ME ME ME Mister Bird. Yes!
