This will not be the typical blog you would expect from Designs by Ginny.
I just returned from a trip to San Diego and it was an interesting trip including a wedding of which Designs by Ginny did the invitation, a 50th Birthday Party, meeting a famous author and then the most moving, meeting Cindy Kauanui, the mother of Emery Kauanui.
It was a chance meeting for sure, where two souls were put in the same place at the same time not knowing it was truly divine intervention.
I want to share bits of this story as this family suffered a tragic loss.
Emery was a well liked surfer in the LaJolla area of San Diego. One night his life was tragically taken away by a group of boys, known as the Bird Rock Bandits who beat him to death. A very senseless death.
You can read all the details if you google Emery Kauanui.
The reason I am posting is to ask that you pray for the healing of this family. When a tragic death such as this happens the family is surrounded and comforted by friends and family. But as time goes on the family is left to pick up the pieces of their life. The support system starts to dwindle and this is when the family really needs the prayers to have the strength to carry on and find purpose in life.
There is so much more to this story. The media only shows what will bring ratings and so much gets lost or distorted. It is not my place to share the details.
Hopefully some day Cindy will be healed enough inside to write a book and tell her whole story as it will be very inspirational as she is an incredible woman, but, for now, please send her your prayers, light a candle or do whatever is in your beliefs to send healing energy to this family so they can all move on.
I do believe there is power in putting out positive energy and even tho you don't know this family just your positive thoughts will help heal them.
Thanking you on their behalf............Ginny
Please share this post with your friends and ask them to share with their friends so the power of positive energy will continue to grow and truly be felt by this family.
Feel free to share words of encouragement and I will pass them on to the Kauanui Family.

Moe's Doggie Party Goodies
Moe celebrated his 13th birthday back in March
Designs by Ginny had the pleasure of designing
his birthday invitation. You can view it in a previous blog.
We wanted to share some of the goodies we made for his party
Below is a custom makeup bag with the star himself, MOE!
He is proudly front and center of this bag. The background
pattern is various sizes of dog paws and
a watermark of his name very lightly behind.
A silver dog bone and blue crystal stone hang
from the zipper pull adding some pizzazz.
Below are custom gift bags with each of the doggie guests
picture featured on them. Each doggie guest also got a custom
scarf with their name embroidered on for a real personal touch.
Each scarf had it's own personality making it extra special.
Moe's mommy also wanted a doggie theme runner for her table
so we made her a reversable runner with dog paw print
on the one side, and dog bones on the other.
If you need something custom done, we are the place.
We love to create something different and fun!

June F. Klinghoffer Memorial Tribute Booklet/ Drexel University
Designs by Ginny had the honor of creating a memorial booklet
celebrating the life of June F. Klinghoffer
who dedicated her life to teaching and touching the lives of her young students
and anyone who came under her wing.
The cover of this booklet if a perfect reflection of June.
She was famous for having her hands in her pockets
and this medical jacket with the hands in the pocket was very fitting.
The cover was wrapped with a ribbon with the Medical school colors
and then held together with a custom label with the
Drexel University Dragon Logo and the Women's Medical College Logo.
When you open the coat you are greeted with a custom cut statue of June. There is a bronze statue
on the campus of June and placing this statue on the steps gives you the feeling
June is still there.
Each page of this booklet is a reflection of June's life.
It is a wonderful keepsake for those who received one.
It was our pleasure to create something unique and special in the memory of June.
Her spirit will always live on in the memories her life created.
