i've already told the story of "hope" the breast cancer awareness dresser:
when i had this idea i was super excited!! i really genuinely love giving back. i personally feel i'm blessed coming and going! so i like to give it back!
i've been alittle bummed that "hope" has just been sitting in our garage... covered up... :( definite sad face...
well, my daughter sabreana works at The Fix Salon in Elkhart (alittle plug there!) and she along with the salon are very involved with Hello Gorgeous... doing make-overs for women battling cancer. i LOVE this organization! of course i also love and support cancer research and prevention organizations, but right now, cancer is a reality, and Hello Gorgeous is a wonderful group of people, working together to help women feel beautiful during the fight for their lives! i knew i wanted to donate 50% of the proceeds from "hope" to Hello Gorgeous!
but i can't donate it if "hope" is still sitting in my gargage! i feel like my hands are alittle tied... a piece like that needs more exposure than i can give right now, to really maximize the money it raises...
here's where God steps in!! this morning i found out Hello Gorgeous is having an event Saturday, November 10th at the Century Center in South Bend!!! WITH A SILENT AUCTION!!! now THAT is what i'm talking about!! THAT is where "hope" belongs!! so i contacted Hello this morning... they even realized i'm sabreana's mom :) ... and i'm happy to say, "hope" WILL BE IN THE SILENT AUCTION NEXT WEEK!!! and 100% of the money is going to Hello Gorgeous!!!
of course i did all of this without consulting my hubby & business partner!! bad laurie, BAD!! so i emailed him... confessed what i'd done... and i just got the thumbs up email a second ago! whew!! i CAN go home tonight!!
i am just soooo excited!!! God stepped in and "hope" will really be able to raise some money!!! now to find the replacement handles for the top drawer ASAP!!!
have a blessed day and be creative!!
laurie
