There's a whole lotta Cercie Love to give and it starts here. A cercie is a small gift or favor, often given as a surprise. Cercies spread serendipitous joy, appreciation, and love. {Sir-See}

Traveling giraffe
One of my friends has a little silent auction fetish; she shows up to every fundraiser armed with a blank check and ready to do some bidding.
This night was no exception. We were elbow to elbow with the other guests at the gala, all admiring the options set out on tables inside the auction room ... an authentic Japanese dinner, a hiking weekend getaway, a piece of original art. And a hand-carved and painted GIRAFFE. With unbridled excitement I shrieked, "I love that!"
It was done. Fetish friend had already written in #78 with her bid, and it went unmatched. I tried to talk her into bidding on something for herself, but she insisted. "You got the giraffe!" people shouted after me as we were leaving. Yes, I thought - the perfect cercie - given by a good friend eager to spread some cercielove.
I'd love nothing more than to keep the giraffe all to myself, but if it's going to continue to spread cercielove, then it needs to be circulated among friends. We agreed we would pass it around, surprising friends with it, sending it often on adventures. First stop: Columbia, South Carolina. Giraffe is staying with two of my dear friends, and I'm hoping their little niece will name it, and share with it lots of adventures before it goes on to its next destination.
Keep watch - Traveling Giraffe cercie might end up on your doorstep next!
