First, I want to share a BIG thanks to many of you who supported Haiti by buying a bracelet from Annie or by leaving sweet comments to encourage our family. She raised 677$s!!! I am soooo proud of her! It was an interesting adventure for the whole family! A lot of time & love went into making them & all the boys in our family were VERY patient with us, although my husband is very glad we are done.
This simple idea turned into a HUGE learing oppurtunity for Annie. She learned about mailing, money, & how to be a good saleswoman. We mailed bracelets to 11 different states and even Ireland! She had her bracelets sold in a salon and she had a fun oppurtunity to sell some at Chatfield High School where my sister-in-law teaches. Most importantly she learned how to share her love for Jesus to others when they would ask her, "Why are you doing this?" It was pretty cool for a mom to see.
AND NOW FOR THE COOL NEWS!
A few weeks ago GOODHOUSKEEPING magazine...
...contacted me & asked if they could feauture my Annie's Bracelets post in their July issue...YES!!!! Of course! Now the contract is signed, all the photos have been submitted & we are sooo excited! And now...we wait...for July :)
So THANK YOU to all my friends (YOU) for all your love & support for my baby girl and Haiti! You will never know how your support has touched me and my family! Thanks again!!!!
XOXO
