a birthday gift for piper

CJ was recently out of town for Piper’s birthday, so sent this handmade gift {by him} and the following story to go with it:

Dear Piper,

Last year on the eve of your birthday, I couldn’t sleep.  So … I got up
and looked out the window.  It was 12:01 a.m., the first minute of your
birthday on March 25, 2010.  To my amazement, outside our window,
on the ground there were 8 wood fairies dancing and singing in a circle.

Happy Birthday Piper … Happy Birthday Piper …

Then they saw me and stopped.  The fairy king {who looked like this
guy I made for you} stepped forward and said they were celebrating
Piper’s birthday because she has been so kind to all of mother nature’s
birds, bugs, spiders, animals and fish!!

I love you Piper … Happy Birthday!!


She absolutely loved it and found the perfect spot in her room.  She also immediately went outside, collected a few natural elements of her own … and went to work on a creation for him in return.  Happiness …

    I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your
    website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so
    people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

    May I simply just say what a relief to uncover somebody that really knows what they
    are talking about on the net. You certainly realize how to bring an issue to light and
    make it important. More and more people need to look at this and understand this side of the story.

    It’s surprising you aren’t more popular given that you
    most certainly have the gift.

    With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of
    plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do
    you know any ways to help reduce content from being ripped off?
    I’d truly appreciate it.

    Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no data backup.
    Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
