Laurie's Beautiful 82 Bead Donation

Woot!  Laurie has just donated 82 beautiful beads to Beads of Courage.  Hooray!  Aren't they pretty?
I told Laurie, that if she makes another donation before the end of the month, the balance over the 75 beads that count towards a raffle ticket, may be counted in the next batch.  So if my puny math skills are correct, that's 7 beads in the plus column.  It's only the 7th today, so there is lots more time.  Please help spread the word, and help the BOC kids.

Thanks so much and hope to have more posts with more beads coming up soon!
