(the following was completely stolen from French Garden House - completely stolen, robbed, taken. I have asked for permission to do so, but haven't heard back yet, and as I really want to get this out tonight before I crash into bed, I am going to hope and pray that I don't get myself into trouble here... :) )
Terry is someone I admire greatly, she is the Founder and President of Enchanted Makeovers, the mother of four children, and is an award-winning interior decorator.
Enchanted Makeovers is a nationally recognized non-profit organization that lovingly transforms shelters for women and children into heartwarming havens, places of peace and possibilities. Most shelters are deplorable, they are cold, ugly places, not a place that embraces a mother and her children and says "someone cares and values you", Terry and her talented team changes that! Enchanted Makeovers relies on donations of time, talent and funding from individuals, businesses and corporations to transform each shelter into a loving place many women and their children can start new, happy and healthy lives from.
In Terry's own words: "Today, transforming the shelters that save people's lives into beautiful sanctuaries that heal their spirit is my vocation. I have a passion and belief in my cause, something greater then myself. The answers are in and around us. Seek them out by joining me in bringing blessings to those in need."
Right now, Terry is featured on Martha Stewart's Dreamers into Doers , and I would love if you could go over there, and vote for Terry today! This will mean a 2,500 prize for Enchanted Makeovers, which will go a long way to buy the paint and fabric Terry uses to create a cozy, loving place for women and children in shelters, as they step out of their lives of abuse and go forward towards a happier life.

Thanks so much for spreading the word! I agree, it would be fabulous if she wins, not just for the money, but for the huge amount of exposure Terry and her "magic volunteers" would get.
