130 Reasons to Smile

Look at what showed up today!

Elena (right) shared her talents and her fabric to create 130 Dress A Girl dresses - what a blessing to see her come through the door with these! Each is more beautiful than the next!

Thank you, Elena!

And THANK YOU to all of the angels who continue to bless us every day
with your time and your donations. xo

Earlier 100 suits showed up for the Veteran's Outreach center!

 And 10 year old Sydney (next to Elena in the picture above) collected all of this for the Butterfly Boutique!

this too!
