January BOC Frit Challenge Drawing Contestants and Prize
The Challenge is still going strong thanks to every one of you that picks a BOC Sample with your order and makes those few extra beads! Remember - you don't have to order anything BUT the BOC samples if you don't want to. The kiddos really need the beads so badly and they do so much good. I wish that you could see the children that I work with - they are heartbreaking but so very brave.
So far January's contestants are:
1. Caroline Davis
2. Rebekah Morris (Canada!)
3. Melissa Blumer
4. Carly Kear
5. Cori Ruszowski
6. Anna Price
7. Brenda Ingles
8. Michelle Veizaga
9. Christine McElroy
The prize for January's drawing will be a 0.5oz Opaque Rainbow Sampler to shake off the winter blues.
Just to get you ready for February, February's drawing prize will be 0.5oz of Zimmerman Lilac Rose Special and 0.5oz of Zimmerman Purple Rose Special!

Hi Caroline! Thanks! The challenge is supposed to be fun and relaxing for our lampworkers while benefiting the kiddos. Get the samples that you'd like to try out, make the beads as you find time, and send them in to me when you have them made. I send boxes in to BOC as they fill up. Taxi's are always leaving the station, so to speak... There is no pressure. I just want you guys to try frit and the kiddos to get beads!

Whichever month you order samples in is the month you get entered in the drawing. AND you get entered in it as many times as you order!

Thank you Leslie and Beck!! I am loving this whole idea!! I think what Leslie is doing is so wonderful. I have known terminally ill children and there is nothing that brightens their smiles more than Random Acts Of Kindness. I look forward to making a few more before i send this batch out to Leslie (I still have a little more frit to use up of each color)
Take Care Ladies!!!
Hugs
