ReplyDeleteMy heart was touched last night....a girl I went to school with (elem-high school) fb me after I shared your giveaway link and said she donated. Sometimes it so frustrating b/c it seems like so many dont read it or maybe dont think this is realy and possibly dont care but to know she donated to help carina made me so happy and I know others are reading too. She said she would pray about her and what a terrible situation this is...touching lives one at a time is how this works right?
You are a stinker!
ReplyDeleteI donated $50, I usually like to do it anonymously, but those dresses are so cute and I am a sucker for cute girl clothes. Please give 10 entries for number 2 and 10 entries for number 8. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and I don't comment nearly enough. Thank you for sharing your beautiful, spunky daughter with the rest of us bloggers :).
