A Proud Auntie Moment

So my sister-in-law called me today to tell me that she found the Pasta Dinner invitation in my 10-yr old niece's book bag, along with the little background card. She asked her why she took it. Kaitlin told her that she wanted to help out the family and was taking it to school so her class could do a penny drive. Her teacher was so impressed that Kaitlin had taken it upon herself - that she agreed to do it!

Brent and Jodie- you touch the hearts of all those you meet, near or far, young and old!

And the winner is...(or could be)....YOU!

We will be having lots of wonderful items up for raffle at the Pasta Dinner. So far these items include:

Several sets of Custom Jewelry
Crocheted Alpaca Scarf
Celebrating Home Gift Basket
Instant Lotto Scrath-Off Tree
Mary Kay Gift Basket
Wickedly Scents Body Lotion/Soap Basket
School/Office Supply Basket
Several pieces of art
Oil Change and/or Car Wash Certificates

Many thanks to all those who have already participated or contributed in some way!

We will continue to solicit donations for raffle items. If you have something you would like to contribute, please let me know! shawnsue4ever@yahoo.com

He is Faithful!

You may or may not share share my faith, but let me just tell you that, God is good all the time - and all the time, God is good!

I was feeling pretty discouraged today as we seem to be off to a slow start. And then God really came though, as He often does, in the form of an earthly angel. You know who you are, and I can only pray that God will bless you many times over for your generosity. You have touched my heart. Thank you seems so inadequate.

Now let's keep it going folks!!!!
