I have been so busy over the last two weeks. I had two big orders to get out. One is done and shipped and the other will be hand delivered tomorrow when we go to Springfield.
My best friend opened her own dance studio (if you live in Springfield, MO you have to check out the Red Door Dance Company - it is the most amazing dance studio I have ever seen!!!) earlier this year and this Sunday is her first recital!!! We are packing the car and heading out tomorrow morning with 13 tutus and two little girls -I can't wait!!!
So awhile back I decided to take my flower beanies and headbands off my site. I will still do them upon request to go with your tutus but it was taking up too much space to have a lot on hand. I was going to offer them on sale when someone approached me about a friend of a friend who's daughter is fighting brain cancer. All these ideas started rushing to me and the end result is that I decided that for every tutu I sell I will donate a flower beanie to a child fighting cancer. I plan to work with several organizations and hospitals and will rotate between them each month. This will be the first month. I am excited to be able to send June's flower beanies to The Blanket Fairy. Kim Ortega is the founder of this great organization. She works night and day to brighten the day of some very special little boys and girls.
In addition to organizing various fundraisers (Christmas in July is the most recent)she also makes blankets for each child she learns about. She wants to be able to provide a blanket for everyone who contacts her so she is always looking for fabric donations.
I will update you at the end of the month on how many beanies will be going to The Blanket Fairy.
So my space issue still isn't solved - LOL but I am so excited to be able to do this. Thanks to everyone who has or will in the future help me to give back!
