Last week I entered a giveaway to win bar ingredients from Stirrings at one of my favorite entertaining blogs, Celebrations at Home. I can’t believe it but, I won! Just wanted to give a quick shout out to Chris and encourage my readers to check out her blog!

One of my Pi Phi Alumni Club friends, Camille Jacobie, works at Irma Rangel Young Women’s Leadership School in Dallas, Texas. Please see her message below and take a minute to help these young women win a prom!

“Our school, Irma Rangel Young Women’s Leadership School has our first graduating class this year! We are so excited about this, and one of the big things that goes along with Senior Year is Senior Prom! Our girls have been doing their best to raise money, but it has been a struggle. While they are continuing to raise money, there is a chance this might not happen, but there is a possibility.

One of the prom distributers is offering a free prom for one high school in each state. I don’t usually ask for favors, but I would appreciate it if you could vote for this…our girls would appreciate it too!”

Thank you,
Camille

Honestly, thank you to my Grandma for helping me put together my entries and letting me use her garage (i.e. “Christmas wonderland workshop”) as a staging area! And to my sister, Bailey, for teaching me to use her camera and helping me put together all the different concepts for my entries. Mom – Thank you for helping out, encouraging me, and for being my model hostess J I can’t wait to see you all over the holidays!
