Sister Wolf had a traumatic 2010 and, adding insult to injury, her roof started to fall down. Therefore,<a href=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/blog\/2010\/12\/buy-a-woolf-and-raise-the-roof-for-sister-wolf\/\" target=\"_blank\"> I donated $35 of every $50 Woolf purchased<\/a> (as well as <a href=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/blog\/2010\/12\/more-jewelry-options-to-help-sister-wolf\/\" target=\"_blank\">some other profits<\/a>) to her roof-repair fund. I&#8217;m happy to say we raised $1,560 of the $4,000 Sister Wolf needs. She&#8217;s asked me to send the check directly to the roofer, so as soon as she gets a final bid on the job, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ll do. While my Little Woolf for Sister Wolf benefit is officially over, I&#8217;m willing to continue contributing if you make the request.\u00a0 Holla at me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com if you want to arrange a donation.<\/p>\n<p> <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A big thank you to all of you who voted for me in three categories for the not-at-all-serious-and-therefore-extremely-important-to-me Drysdale Awards, hosted by Grant Miller Media.
