;0)


*the girls were looking for a way to do some of their own fundraising for Relay for Life...i suggested they make something, & they asked to do bracelets...i picked up some supplies & used some of what we already had, & we made about 25 charm bracelets (& a few necklaces) for the girls to sell at school...they took 6 the first day & sold out right away! at only $1 a piece, their friends jumped on these sweet little bracelets...& the girls felt major pride in raising some cash of their own to put towards our Relay goal...i'm pretty proud of them too ;0)

That is so cute--what a perfect spring weekend! I love their hair! And the braclets...1$ is cheap for them! How great they could do their own thing!

thx Brooke!
well, i wanted it to be easy for them to sell...so they'd have lots of girls interested, & the money would be easy for them to figure out/deal with...it wasn't really about the amount they raised (i think we'll probably break even on the cost of supplies), but more the experience...that they felt like they were raising money for a good cause & making a difference ;0)
