you all are just the best!

The efforts to help Stephanie Nielson and her family have raised over $100,000  through auctions and donations large and small. This is such a testament to the love and generosity of the blogging community. Never underestimate the worthiness of your blog and the impact it has on the world. The efforts were even highlighted on the Today Show!

There are still auctions going on. Please check out the wonderful items Kim has on her blog, Today's Creative Blog.

"I am starting to believe that there is no such thing as tragedy. There is only opportunity for growth, and should you accept it, the reward overcomes the sailing of the hardship."  Stepanie Nielson's sister, Courtney (c jane).
