How sweet! You must be so proud of your daughter! She deserves to win.

I also scrolled down to see the pictures of Eliana. She's precious!

[Kendall in GA]

...Outstanding on so many levels!! :clap: :hcry: :D

I wanna bracelet, too! Maybe her next step will be a webpage and mail order business...How's that for real school! ;)

...Still praying for your precious Eliana...Surgery still scheduled for the 16th?

I'm late in responding - but not because I'm not thankful for all of your words of encouragment. :hcry: It's taken me hours just to get this response finished up due to interruptions. :lol:

We read on the AG website that there were 12,000 entries! :eek: That is a LOT of entries to read through! I'm still hoping though. :)

Maybe one day we'll work on a website, but for now it's not something we can manage. We figured out the other day that she has done the bulk of her sales in the last month - about $1500 in one month. Really amazing. :hcry:

Yes, surgery is still set for April 16th. Only 9 more days. I must say that each time I click on my blog and see the number on the ticker it makes my heart just gasp. It's getting close.

I'll try to email each of you that has mentioned wanting info on the bracelets. I'll also see if we can get some photos of them. She is trying to replenish her supply after selling out last week.

Thank you friends for your encouragment.

With love,

[Trish A]
