And the winner is...

Ali, you are blowing me away with all that you've done. Yes, we've all contributed, but give yourself some credit. (Okay, a lot of credit.) None of this would have happened without you.
I posted about this on a web site where some of my friends with autistic children get support. Then again at a site where scrappers chat. I know that some did come here and donate.
This is so cool.

so, so awesome and inspiring.

Congrats Jennifer! Tripods rock. Thanks also for sharing another great project.

A great friend of mine just told me how to post a comment! Imagine that, I view your site everyday and now I can post. You are amazing, we are amazing, the power of women is endless. What a gift we have and sharing that gift makes it even better. You have helped me to realize alot of my strengths over the past year and I feel empowered. Living in the shadows of a divorce and raising 3 children over the past 10 years in this economy has been a challenge. But I have done it and found scrapbooking to be my great source of creativity, something I cannot live without. Anyway thanks for being you - Ali. All I really wanted to ask is is the kit available for sale? any chance? Thanks Kim Danielson

You are an amazing woman, Ali Edwards. If all young women were like you, we could change the world.

I had trouble posting your badge in Blogger, so I just posted a *link* to the badge (make sense?!) :D I have a steady readership of about 5 people :) some of them scrappers, so hopefully I have encouraged someone! I'll talk it up at my specialty crop tonight, too.
Take care and have a good weekend. Thanks for the projects!

Thank you, Ali, for sharing this wonderful project! You are so sweet!

wow! another class? you rock my socks!! love the down to the wire excitement and we have a HUGE lead for first place...so so cool!!

Ali, I have been a long time admirer of your scrapbooking and all the wonderful projects you create. Never in a million years did I ever think I would share another passion of mine with you. You see, I too have a son with Autism. He is 6 almost 7 and we had the official diagnosis a year ago. He is our life, our passion and now we have a new passion...Autism Awareness. I am inspired by your openness and beautiful scrapbook pages on your son. Truly inspired. Please know that people like you are really making a difference for all of us out here wading through this "puzzling" condition. The future is so much brighter for our kiddos and I just know that we can all make a difference together! Thank you for taking the initiative to not only raise money for the cause, but to spread AWARENESS, because truly that is just as important. Yes, we need the money for research, but the awareness comes first. If people are educated/aware, that's where it all starts. So THANK YOU from the bottom of my family's heart. I am so excited to see that number climbing everyday. Bright future indeed.

ali you are truly amazing. thank you for the inspiration, thank you for everything you do.

I added your badge to my blog and posted it on My Space. Hopefully it will get at least a few more donations!
I think what you're doing is such an inspiration.

I can't wait until Sunday to see the final results! It is exciting for me to be a (very small) part of something like this. Your stories and pictures of Simon have definately touched my life!
