I am a stay at home mom with three children and a husband. I have my own decorating business called Serene Surroundings that I do from home. I came up with this idea when my son Joshua was looking through my jewelry box and found a rock. He said, "Can I keep this in my pocket so I can always have a piece of you with me." Later on that night, my daughter, Gabrielle was holding a picture of me under her pillow for the same reason. I thought it was so touching that they wanted to always have a part of me with them. I then started drawing pictures of ways that they and other kids could have a part of their loved ones and came up with "Pieces of Me by Cindy" puzzle charms. Everybody I show it to loves the idea and has a different way of distributing it. One bride said this would be great for my bridesmaids. One young lady said this would be great for my friends when they go to college. It is interesting to see what people come up with. In my family, all the girls have a piece of my heart, my mother, sister, sister-in-law, niece, and daughter. And I also have another heart which I gave to my sons, daughter, husband and dog! After doing some research I found out that the Autistic Foundations logo is puzzle pieces and my best friend's daughter struggles with this, which makes it even more dear to me. I have a link on this website if you would like to buy puzzle items from their foundation. After hearing stories of how people are distributing their pieces, I was very touched. I decided to spread the love beyond the 6 and have buyers tell me what charity they support and I would donate $50 to that charity. I had a soldier donate to Wounded Warriors and a woman with cancer donate to the American Cancer Society. Thank you all for your support
