A Day I'll Remember

For more reasons than one, today will be a day I remember for the rest of my life. The action started this morning and hasn't stopped.

This afternoon... Probably one of my proudest accomplishments to date... I did something good with my passion for writing, and my new-found passion for blogging.

I took my passion (and my frustrations) and together, you and I met a HUGE goal!

It started with my small idea to donate headbands to a few little girls through March of Dimes.

I then realized I could raffle my hairbows off to you and set a goal to raise $300 in the process. But after a few days of donations, and outpouring of offers to help from other talented sponsors, I realized we could do more.

With the help of you... My loyal bloggy and Twitter friends, we reached out $1000 goal for March of Dimes. I'm SO excited to hand them over this big check!

THANK YOU for donating.
THANK YOU for sharing your talents and donating products
THANK YOU for spreading the word on your blogs and on Twitter
THANK YOU for displaying the MoD button I made with pride (cause it wasn't ways for me to make! ;op)
THANK YOU for showing off your babies and giving me something to look forward to (and bringing more people to this site to vote AND donate!)

The crazy thing is... There are still 3 MORE DAYS of fundraising! I still have NINE more sponsors to introduce you to... So everyone who donates on top of this will be a bonus for the March of Dimes (100% of any additional donations will still go to the charity!).

Thank you! I love you!
