first post, not the first day

Today I spent over three hours stuffing envelopes. I have actually gotten quite quicker than I used to be, so I guess that's a good thing. I really wanted to go to the post office today to get out the massive stack of letters I have mailed today, but alas that didn't get to happen. I'm going to have to wait until Tuesday now, unfortunately. But, it's okay I have until August to get everything together.

I know that I am probably confusing every reader a ton by now, so I will explain a little. I want it to be mostly a surprise. Anyway, I am organizing a charity project benefitting teens. It's clothing that I'm getting donated. So, if you happen to have stumbled upon my little blog and have any connections at all into the clothing industry, please let me know. I don't care if it's your cousin's boyfriend's half-brother's step-dad's sister, if you have a way to get somebody a donation letter of mine, that would be absolutely amazing!

Yesterday, two things amazing happened. I have sent out a couple of email letters, and I got two responses. Judging from the little preview that I get in my email, I thought that both we're going to say that they loved my project idea, but couldn't donate. So, I chickened out of reading them myself and had my mom come in and read them. Once she read them, I found out I was wrong because both companies are VERY interested! YAY!!! I'm super excited about that. I will keep you guys posted.

Other than all of that, I don't really have anything to say. I will list some basic facts about me and my project though.
  • I'm 14 years old and my name is Allyson
  • I play soccer and run track
  • This project was started on Jan. 17th 2010
  • I intend to chronicle my journey of how this all goes, so please keep reading!
That's all for now!
Lots of Love!
-Allyson
