February 2011

Background: this is a Pay It Forward. My friends helped me win this torch, but I already owned one like it. So now, you, my glass friends have your chance to win this brand new GTT Cricket. I will ship it when the contest is over. Please help me publicize this on forums, groups and anywhere else you can. The big winners are the kids who are helped by Beads of Courage. Thanks so much, Marcy Lamberson.

    What a wonderful idea, Marcy! This weekend I'll look through my batch of beads and shoot the pics. I feel especially close to these children since years ago I was a practicing Pediatrician. Due to chronic pain I needed to choose a different direction in life. And just recently, Marcy, actually one day after Thanksgiving I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer.
    My heart sincerely aches for these children. I love these "little guys."
    Oh but Marcy, silly me...I can't locate the menu?... how do I access it?
    Let these children "win"in life!

    Yay to Kristina Ne and Jaci!

    Thank you. Now don't forget. Can't mail until Feb. 1st at the earliest and 2/28 midnight at the last. You need to send me a photo of the beads you send in and at that time, you post your name, an email address and the number of beads you sent in. (or the amount you donated financially.

    And on a personal note, Ne, I am sorry you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. I am so sorry. I hope your chronic pain is manageable too.

    Ne, one way to donate financially is to go to www.beadsofcourage.org and look in the right hand top corner and find "give". using that menu, pull it down and you'll find everything from there. Sometimes there is a button on the homepage that says "donate" also, but I don't always see it. Be sure you include the word "torch" in it. and don't do it until 2/1/11 or some time during the month. Please come back often to see the wonderful beads that everyone makes.

    take care everyone and see you back here soon!

    I save my beads in a special bowl for Beads of Courage, and when I make a trip to Florida to see my brother, I mail them from there (alot cheaper than sending them from Canada). We'll be getting to Florida around Feb 15, and I'll mail you my beads - should be around 400 of them this time.

    Hi!
    I emailed you a few days ago with my entry of 75 beads, but told you that I didn't know how to post my entry to your blog? I just now found this post where it looks like everyone is signing up, so maybe this is where you meant? I guess I'm too late to enter, even though I ended up mailing out 100 beads yesterday. YAY!! Oh well, I was going to mail them in anyway and I know they're all going to a great cause! Good luck to everyone! *Ü*

    Hi Lori,
    I just recorded your raffle chances and am almost ready to use the online number generator. Perfect timing. You sent them yesterday and there's a good chance the error was mine, so you're in!

    thanks and I appreciate your donation.
