Valentine's for Leah!

To celebrate Leah's birthday, a Facebook event has been opened called 'Valentine's for Leah'. If you're on Facebook please search for it (it was created by the community 'EB.Awareness' in case you have trouble finding the event) and join in the celebration!! 

It wasn't set to begin until Friday but we're showing up to the party early and people are already posting some awesome Valentine's for my February birthday girl!  

Someone's birthday is coming up.............

Leah's birthday is coming up on Friday, February 10th!  

She would have been turning 3 years old……

This year I didn't have the time to really plan anything in advance to raise money to donate to dEBra to commemorate her birthday, as I have in the past.  

So to do a little something, I'm opening up my online Avon shop again, and donating 100% of my sellers earnings to dEBra.  I'll run the fundraiser for the entire month!! 

I know people are pretty loyal to their Avon reps, but if you could please consider shopping with me for just one of your February orders, it would be much appreciated!!  

As for the promo code, there is one: FORDEBRA1; but only because it's required by the Avon system.  However, if you spend more than $30 you can receive free shipping by entering the code 'FS30REP'. 


Please don't worry about entering the DEBRA code to ensure your orders' proceeds go to the fundraiser .... since I'm donating 100% of all my earnings your contribution will still be included! 

TO ORDER, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS LINK:

UPDATE:

I received a comment from someone asking about donating without purchasing anything ........ 

of course anyone is welcome to do that!

If you following this link:

you can enter your info and donation amount on DEBRA's secure web donation page.  There is the option to make your donation in memory of Leah. And remember, your donation is tax deductible!

Tripp Has His Wings

No doubt anyone who follows this blog follows the blog for Tripp.......

Tripp went to heaven on Saturday the 14th.  Exactly two years and two weeks after Leah.

Late last week I was sitting with Tabby on my lap at my computer and I showed her Tripps pictures, and told her not to worry, that he would be OK because Leah was going to fly him back to heaven with her and he would be all better...........

 

Christmas for Leah, 2011

Even though Leah is gone she is still a part of our family

and so each Christmas I intend to hang her stocking, 

and her ornaments

These are now two of my all-time favorites:

You can read about them, the reason behind them, the parade they were in, and the wonderful woman responsible for them: Here

Last year, 2010; we didn't put up a tree, or do any decorating at all really.  
We tried to ignore Christmas for the most part. 


2009 was Leah's first and only Christmas, and that years tree theme was Butterflies.  


This years theme became 'Butterflies and Angels' without me really even trying..........

Blog Change Coming Soon!

Just a quick note to let everyone know that the blog makeover will be completed soon! 

However, it's not just a makeover/re-design.  The URL will be changing, the blog name will be changing; pretty much everything will be changing.  

Because of the limitations on changing blogger sites, I'm going to have to do a 'We've Moved' post on this blog directing everyone to the new one.
