Paintings, T-shirts, pinatas, "I have a heart for Haiti" keepsakes, designer onsies and bibs, funky head bands, and much, much more. (see pictures below....)

Other activities:
Face painting for donations, Dance-A-Thon, and a silent auction (for the works of local professional artists).

The Giving of the People

This is a long overdue update.... My apologies!

Things are really starting to roll, and it's very exciting!

I have many special thanks to mention.

1) To all the parents at Kids Country who have taken down a heart from the wall and have provided so many of the things that we need, THANK YOU! I am eternally grateful! Nothing fills my heart more than when Ms. Amy delivers a bag of donated materials to my classroom. Thank you! Thank you! I will be making a list of people who have donated, and they will each receive individual rewards for their generosity.

2) A very special thank you to St.Francis Women of Today for agreeing to do our consessional. I appreciate all of you wonderful, generous, special women. THANK YOU THANK YOU!

3) A huge thank you to Sara Ward for trying to track down a venue for our event. We think we may have found one! I'll be filling out an application to request the use of it and be giving it to Sara tomorrow to deliver. As soon as this is set in stone, flyers will be made up and so much more will be accomplished. Thank you so much, Sara, for doing everything you are doing!

4) A very special thank you to my friend, Nyki, who has taken it upon herself to recruit artists and crafts persons to donate their special talents for the fundraiser. I don't know what I would've done with out your help, Nyki! You are so well connected. It's awesome!

5) A very big thank you to Jenn Olson for providing photographs to post on my blog! Her wonderful talent can be seen in the sidebar under "Getting Inspired...". Thanks so much, Jenn. www.jennolsonphotography.com

The Progress
Tomorrow I will be taking pictures of all of the crafts that are finished,and will be posting them here pronto. I'm sure those of you who follow this blog are looking forward to seeing the evidence of our progress... We've got some really fun, cool stuff to show off!
