Gemstone necklace for International Women's Day

[Gillian]

Hi,
For this year's International Women's Day celebration in my local council area I assembled a gemstone necklace to help raise funds for their usual project, using the following gemstone sequence to acknowledge the Chinese Year of the Dog, all with a touch of whimsy on my part:

Principal stone in the sequence:
Carnelian (The Friendly Stone) because the dog is known as man's best friend.

Dalmatiner Jasper (Jasper - The Supreme Nurturer) because a popular name for dogs is "Spot" and this particular jasper is creamy white with black spots.

Lemon Agate (Agate - The Stone of the Wanderer) because whereas dogs might roam, they always know the way home.

Last year at another fund raising event, my gemstone necklace raised over $500, and we hope for a good sume to be raised again for Wednesday's International Women's Day 2006.

Best wishes to all the ladies of the world, be strong and happy, make your life fulfilling.

Hi,
still waiting to hear about the event, but I've been out more often than home lately and probably missed calls.  
How did others spend International Women's Day ? Its the perfect global date to recognize and acknowledge the qualities and achievements of very special women in all countries, so post a few comments about someone you would like to be recognized for their special place in life.
