I got an email a week or two ago from Pat Shorten that I just loved! Since it's almost WPPI again where the Shootsac Flamingo will be making quite a few appearances at all the hottest parties, I thought I'd post this pic from Pat, along with her note.

"I was in ACMoore (a craft store) today, just doing a little retail therapy and a stumbled across the cutest little flamingo and it made me think of you and your site. Needless to say I picked it up, not for you but to donate to a kid in Costa Rica with thoughts of your generosity...to explain, my husband is a college professor and we are taking students to CR for a class over spring break. We'll be doing a standard, check out all the interesting places sort of tour with a few add-ons of our own like visiting UNA (the national university) and touring their environmental program (it is similar to the program my husband teaches in). We have a few education majors traveling with us so we've arranged to stop at a Tican Public School, get a tour and meet the kids. I'm going to give one the kids your flamingo and try to get a good photo of him or her with it just for fun for you because you are one of the good guys! My Spanish is crude at best so I will communicate with smiles and gestures, we shall see how it all turns out.
I've attached a photo of the flamingo prepared to depart. He's sitting next to our map and on top of the crayons I'm bringing the kids. I'm going to bring the kids crayola crayons as they are made right near here and that makes 'em special to me."
