Over 60 Beads from Tina! (But No Raffle Tickets for Her!)

You didn't think I was being mean, did you?  Read below....

Hooray for Tina and her over 60 beads that she has donated to Beads of Courage.  Tina has graciously bowed out of the raffle portion, because she's very happy with the torch she already owns, but wanted to show what she's been doing.  I added the up close shot of her darling little ladybug.   Don't you know some little kid is going to fall in love with it.  Thank you so much Tina for your generous donation. We all appreciate it.
