Oh My Gosh, Its Almost December!

Yup. Tomorrow is the last day of November and then the Christmas countdown starts. Yay Santa!
I have very good news! I have over $200 dollars so far for Toonies For Twins. The bookmarks are still going great, the Trebelmakers winter concert is on Sunday, which means we are going to have the raffle very soon! (any donations are sill welcomed). We are also hosting a fun/craft/game/AWESOME day on December 11th for kids five to ten years old. If you are considering, please e-mail me at keirawatters@hotmail.com. All proceeds will be going to Toonies For Twins, but we need more kids for this to work so please sign up! It gives Parents a chance to get some shopping done while the kids are having fun or you can just go do some relaxing;) Give me a shout :)
Thanks everybody. Hapy holidays!

For Brennan

I know this has nothing to do with Toonies For Twins, but I need to do this, I need to put this here, for everyone to remember.

On november 9th, a boy at my school, Brennan McCartnrey, commited suicide. It was a shock to everyone, and every day, I still see people sobbing in the halways. Brennan was a trumpet major in the music program, he was on the rugby team, he took two girls to prom because they didnt have dates. He was on my bus, he lived a couple streets away from me, he was in my department at school (music), and even though I never knew him, its still hard to think that Im alive while one of my peers, a boy who lived in my town, is dead. I will look at things out the window of the bus, things that he once looked at too, I will walk down the halways at school and sit in clasroooms where he once walked and sat in too. But, unfortunatly, he never will again.

Brennan was a boy who coulnt see any other way out, a way to get past his misery. He will be sorely missed with heavy hearts.

In the words of Rasal Flats, why did you leave the stage in the middle of the song, Brennan? Who ever told you life wasnt worth the fight? They were wrong, they lied. Now your gone, and we cry. 'Cause its not like you to walk away in the middle of a song.

This ones for you, Brennan. Rest easy.

Good Things Are Happening!

Hello there. Lots of things have been happening lately that I feel should be made public. First of all, I have started making and selling these beaded bookmarks and have made over a hundred dollars on them alone. This has turned out to be a very effective way of fundraising and is going far better than I ever hoped for. Yay! Right now we are sitting at about $150, which is a pretty good start. Yay readers!

For anyone who was keeping track from last year, the local choir The Trebelmakers (which I have now been officially booted from because Im 'too old') has decided to sponsor Toonies For Twins again this year. This was a really good thing last time and they really helped with fundraising. The kids this year are even more into it than they were last time! There is going to be a raffle at the winter concert and if anyone has anything to donate, it would be greatly apreciated. Thank you Trebelmakers!

I think thats all for now. If anyone has any ideas for fundraising or wants to donate just send me a message
