Image: "Reach for your wings" by All Things Bright and BeautifulAs my first guest post on Absolutely Beautiful Things - I'd like to use it to help to make a little bit of change in the world. Yesterday was Blog Action 2008 - Poverty Day where bloggers were asked to unite and promote awareness of world poverty ☺.
How you can help?........Corine of Hidden in France has promised to donate one dollar per comment to Kiva a person-to-person micro-lending website, which aims to alleviate poverty by enabling people to lend directly to small enterprise entrepreneurs in the developing world. My Notting Hill and Catherine, last years winner of Domino's Decorating contest, have also offered to match the number of comments (in dollars) - up to fifty dollars.
I've been a bit naughty and have commented - 3 times now! :-) Even if you can spare one comment - I'm sure they will all add up. To comment and contribute, see Corine's post "Poverty (mine)".
Hugs and smiles and it's lovely to be back here with you☺.Felicity

Anna, as you have comments moderation I wouldlike to ask Felicity to publish a thing she sent me a time ago, when she close her blog I did not feel ok publishing it,i need to know if she is ok with that.
Please do not show this comment, I will leave another than anyone can see.
thanks.
I like your blog!!
Hi Felicity, I am so clueless I though that I can just leave one comment.
It is a pleasure seen your photos again, I have your old post archived and I read them some times.
Love!
Felicity, where are you silly girl? We LOVE you!!!
Lovely to have you back!
Felicity,
Welcome back. It is so good to hear your voice again. I was one of those worrywarts who had wondered if I could try to be Nancy Drew across the planet if you needed help. (I know, a little crazed)
Happy to know you'll be here on one of favourite blogs.
Big givers live in the blog world!
Welcome back!
We missed you,
Sofia
Hi Anna I was hoping to get some help and advice on starting my new Blog Crepe Myrtal. I believe Felicity once posted some helpful tips but as her blog no longer exsists can you give me any tips? Espescially about posting pictures. I have heaps saved for my slide inspiration on my PC but can't remember all their origins I want to use them but don't want to upset anyone by not referencing their work. Can you suggest anything. Jenny
Felicity -- thanks for sharing this project with us.
I'm in love with those wings, and love to help those in need.
XOXO Deb
