Relay For Life 2009

We had so much fun last weekend! We set up our BRIGHT PINK TENT (we were right, you could see it from everywhere!) and all our wares...


...and then we took a well-deserved rest.

We painted plates for other teams, sold pink things, t-shirts, and necklaces---all this means we raised even more $$ for The American Cancer Society!

Our inspiration! Lisia Sullins and Diane Van Arsdale were our team members that are SURVIVORS! Ladies, you did it! You fought like girls and we are thankful and honored to have you in our lives.

So, all in all, it was a long day but so great! Inspiring and moving and FUNNY...don't remember the last time I laughed so much. Honestly, it was a time for us to see how much our community cares and how we can all come together for a common goal.

Personally, it made me even more thankful for my work and how I spend my days. We had 10 amazing ladies on our team. To be on our team it basically meant that you helped us set up in 80 plus degree sunny weather, peddled our wares, brought yummy food and stayed with us through the wee hours of the morning...just because we asked them to. We've said many times that we are amazed that our customers have become our friends but it was even cooler to come together as sisters to raise awareness for a disease that effects us all.
Words cannot express our thanks for everyone's support in our fundraising efforts over the last few months. I'd also like to thank you for your continued support of our store. Without all our great customers/friends we would not be successful and our dream work would not be possible so thank you.
You are appreciated.
