We have 88!!!

The Beauty that Counts goal was 82, but we surpassed it with a grand total of 88!! Isn't that just thrilling?! Thank you to:

Dr. Tina Boylston - 2

I still need to set an appointment for the lipstick deliveries, but I'll keep you posted as to when that will happen. Hopefully I'll get a couple of good pictures to share with you so that you can share in the excitement!!

Yep! There are more "thank you's" to add!

We are pressing on!!! Here are today's beauties:

Sharon Van Essen & Rhonda Wynia - 1 (because you two had a combination of 5, I donated an extra in your names!
Kelly Rea - 2
Linda Peddy - 1

Thank you so much!!!

And Happy Thanksgiving - if I don't blog before then!

WE DID IT!!!!

Wow - oh wowie wow wow!!! We did it! We have achieved our goal of adopting 82 women at the Battered Women & Children's Shelter!! Thank you to the following women who "closed the deal"...

Lorinda Symens - 2
Judy Geelhoed - 2
Betty Oostdam - 4

I also have one generous woman, Carmen, who would like to donate some of her unused makeup. And I think that is such a fabulous idea!! So, if you have unused makeup (samples or whatever!) you'd like to donate, I know they'd be really grateful. I'll deliver any makeup donations when we deliver the lipsticks.

ALSO, if you or your friends would still like to donate lipsticks, please don't feel like you're too late - there are A LOT of women in need - no donation will go to waste.

THANK YOU - all of you - for your generosity & your prayers. You have been such a huge blessing to me! I was so nervous about having such a big goal and now, not only have we achieved the goal, but we are two weeks early!! You're the BEST!!!!

Keep Going!!

Although we're nearing our goal of 82, please don't stop sharing this opportunity to help out these women! I've been in touch with Melissa at the shelter and she said that they have more shelters & new women coming in every day. It breaks my heart thinking about it. Regardless of the number we achieve, there will be a very thankful woman on the receiving end - far beyond 82...

CHFBC MOPS

Something to add about my MOPS group...

Because my MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group is responsible for nearly 20 of the adoptions, I'm going to donate 4 more lipsticks on their behalf. SO! We really only need 14 more - how exciting is that?!
