			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">Earlier this year, one of my staff members had a class reunion to go to. Now, this was not your ordinary class reunion…it was held at the White House. Donna Hunsinger, who is the assistant manager of my Atlanta showroom went to school with Laura Bush, and graduated from Midland High School in 1964. Donna wanted to take a gift with her, and asked me to sign the Fairy of Miracles for Mrs. Bush. As many of you already know, the Fairy of Miracles benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, as I have guaranteed through the sales of this Fairy a minimum of $20,000 each year for 2008 &amp; 2009. I had the opportunity to get a tour of St. Jude last summer and was amazed and impressed with the work they do in the fields of research and medicine. With the amazing research, and resulting miracles performed at St. Jude, I hope through your support and purchase of the Fairy of Miracles, even more money can be donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.</p>
<p align="justify">OK…back to the White House story…</p>
<p align="justify">Being at the White House, everyone wanted<a target="_blank" href="http://www.xmas-magic.com/wp/custom/images/RayLauraGeorgeDonnaLarge.jpg" title="Ray and Donna with the President and First Lady"><img vspace="5" align="right" src="http://xmas-magic.com/wp/custom/images/RayLauraGeorgeDonna.jpg" hspace="5" onmouseout="this.src=' http://xmas-magic.com/wp/custom/images/RayLauraGeorgeDonna.jpg'" title="Ray and Donna with the President and First Lady" onmouseover="this.src = 'http://xmas-magic.com/wp/custom/images/RayLauraGeorgeDonnaS.jpg'" /></a> their picture taken with the President and First Lady. Well, when it came time for Donna and her husband Ray to get their photo taken, Donna was being a bit ornery, and when the President put his arm around her, Donna looked up at the President and said “…well…is this the time when I pinch your butt?” Before he could answer, Donna had already pinched the President of the United States on his butt and at the same moment, the camera flashed! You will have to click on the photo to the right to enlarge it and see if he enjoyed it. You can also see the nice letter our First Lady, Laura Bush sent to Donna &amp; Ray thanking them for the gift of Fairies. (The President was given a VOTE Republican Fairy…we figured that was the way he was planning on voting this fall.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.xmas-magic.com/wp/?cat=6"><img align="right" width="185" src="http://xmas-magic.com/wp/custom/images/UncleSamFairy.jpg" alt="Uncle Sam Fairy" height="324" onmouseout="this.src=' http://xmas-magic.com/wp/custom/images/UncleSamFairy.jpg'" title="Uncle Sam Fairy" onmouseover="this.src = 'http://xmas-magic.com/wp/custom/images/UncleSamFairyS.jpg'" /></a></p>
<p align="justify">With all the challenges &amp; problems we face, no where else in the world is there a greater country than America! When I was designing the Uncle Sam Fairy &amp; the 2 &#8220;VOTE&#8221; Fairies, part of my research involved reading up on the Declaration of Independence &amp; United States Constitution. Although I had studied them both in school, and am familiar with the general contents, I have to say that I was truly impressed with the genius of the authors. The beginning of the 2<sup>nd</sup> paragraph of the Declaration of Independence states:</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">These words are so powerful…pure truth in all it’s beauty. I must have read these words over a hundred times, weighing the value of each word, marveling at the profound wisdom of its authors.</p>
<p align="justify">And from our Constitution, the dramatic words from the preamble:</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify"><strong><font size="6">We the People</font></strong> of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">The July 4<sup>th</sup> holiday gives us time to reflect upon &amp; celebrate the greatness of our country. Designing the Uncle Sam Fairy, VOTE Republican Fairy &amp; VOTE Democrat Fairy was a labor of love after reading our cherished federal documents.</p>
