It's time for our Annual Boo @ the Barn and I hope you will mark the calendar and plan on attending this fun studio event. This year we will be collecting NEW Teddy Bears to donate to the Venus Fire Department and to Cook Children's Hospital. No matter where your teddy bear ends up it will be safely delivered to the hands of a scared and often times sick child. These bears can bring comfort, smiles and each bear will be a fluffy friend that a child can hug. I know first hand how awesome a gift that is... you see when our Sarah was about 6 years old she had a seizure (first and only that she has ever had... praise the Lord) and it was a very scary time. When she came to the paramedics were in our living room working on her, so of course she was startled and very scared. I remember the paramedic giving her a little stuffed bear and she just clung to it. She held that bear through out the ambulance ride to Children's Hospital, throughout all the procedures and testing in the ER. In fact, we still have that bear today tucked away safely in a box with all of her childhood keepsakes. Even though that bear was just a little thing, it made such a huge impact on a scared little girl and on this momma's heart. I loved that she had something special to cling to that gave her comfort during that scary event in her life. So, I am super excited to see how many loving little Teddy Bears we can collect throughout our Boo @ the Barn event this year.
All you need to do to participate in this year's event is bring your little Trick or Treater all dressed up in their costume along with a New Teddy Bear. We will have an awesome set designed specifically for this event and will take each child's portrait. You will receive a Complimentary Digital Image along with a print release with your donation of a Teddy Bear. {value $40} We will also have refreshments, treat bags and of course we will be giving out Gift Card's to SP. So help us pass the word, bring your friends & make sure you join us on October 31, 2012 for this awesome event. You just can't miss it!!

Love & Laughter -
Deanna
