Yes I have been neglecting my blog but for a very good reason...
One of my very best friend's little sister (Rachel) is 16, and after just one week of having a 'headache' discovered that she has AML Leukemia.
She was a volleyball star - her club team was on their way to NATIONALS - she had colleges looking at her and everything! Her team has really shown support through their games by wearing her favorite color - orange) and just being incredible friends! You can read more about Rachel's story and her progress through her regularly updated blog:
I actually met my husband on their doorstep! So needless to say they mean an awful lot to our family. My mother-in-law and I have been working together to create a vehicle to raise money for the Steele family.
This was definitely her idea to create a Nation Wide Bake Sale, I just helped her with designing the blog, header, button, pictures, layout, etc...ya know the stuff I do! ;) So check out the Steele Strong Bake Sale blog, and look within yourself to see if you could donate a little time or a small donation for a BAKE SALE!
Also, here is a FREE ADVERTISING opportunity...
Please link the Steele Strong Bake Sale BUTTON to your site! Then email YOUR BUTTON to: steelestrongbakesale [at] gmail [dot] com OR leave me a comment here letting me know you did it, and I'll take your button and put it in on our SPONSORS LIST!! Doesn't get any easier than that!
(Need a button? I can make you one for a small fee! Email me: CassandraLaineBlog [at] gmail [dot] com for more info! I'm working on getting a 'shop' up soon!)
All you need to do is add a "widget" if you're using blogger and copy and paste the html code below into an "HTML/JavaScript" gadget. For Wordpress use a "text/html" widget!
Please feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions about how to do this!
