As most of you know Ashley was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes earlier this year. We have been struggling to get her sugar levels under control but Ashley has faced this disease with courage and a positive attitude. (Most of the time!)
For those of you that don't know, Brad (my husband) and I have recently started a non-profit organization, Donations for Diabetes, to help raise funds for diabetes research and find a cure for this disease.
We are holding a ski and snowboarding event called Downhill for Diabetes at Pico Mountain in Vermont on February 13th, 2011. It is very similar to a donation walk, only Vermont style! I hope you will help us with this effort by participating in this great event and come ski or snowboard for the day!
If you do not ski or snowboard you can still participate in the event by donating money and getting free gifts and prizes!If you raise $50, you get a
half price lift ticket for the day and a Downhill for Diabetes fleece ear band! Raise more and you can be eligible for more great gifts and prizes! There will also be a donation race course set up that you can go through and get timed and prizes will be awarded for the fastest times of the day! You can participate in this event as a skier or a snowboarder. You can do it individually or form and team and come as a group!
I really hope that you will join us in our fight to cure this disease so Ashley and all the other people like her can lead normal healthy lives!

I have been asked to be a Guest Designer on the Craft Project Central blog for the next few months! I did this Nutcracker punch art gift box for this month. You can check it out on their site!
