We made around $800 after expenses so we can definitely get her a nice sewing machine and put some of the money away for education. All of the silent auction items have been invoiced from paypal and I'll follow up with an email if I don't hear from folks. Here is the video of the runway walking:
Thank you so much for everything that you all did to make this event so successful.

Sisters
Tona, aged 4 1/2 showing some attitude for the camera. She is totally going to show some attitude on that runway.
Molly Doll the fabric paper doll
She has the coolest clothes you can velcro on. Having a fabric paper doll means that the clothes don't rip and I added the cool little suitcase so they never get lost. These sell for around $28 and before the Christmas season you will probably find them on kristenmary.com

State Fair Tickets and Coupon book
Obviously everyone loves the fair. The cookies, the cheese curds, the baby animals.... If you wait and pay at the door it's going to cost you $27, but if you bid at the silent auction, you can help out a great kid and get a good deal for the fair.

Green Purse
The only reason I'm letting this purse go is for a good cause because I love it so. Sarah inspired the purse with her fabric and style picks, leftover fabric allowed me to copy it. It has pockets on the inside for those items you need to keep separate from the wallet and pockets on the outside for keys, ipod, pen and phone (or that's what I keep in my outside pocket - but I guess you can choose). Plus, this purse looks really good on. If I had to sell it, I would ask $60 for it.

Green Toy Robot
It's 4 inches by 4 inches and a great opportunity to own an original artwork by Kris Brothers. Since he lives in Denver you will only get another opportunity if you steal John's pictures. This would typically retail for $35.

Previews of the silent auction items
I was going to build a separate page, but then it's getting so close and technically I can keep track of any bids from people who can't be there in the comments, so I'm going to start posting them on the blog. If you are interested in an item, let me know your email address in the comments and if you win I will send you an invoice from paypal and then ship it to you. Sound good? Sweet!

Tona's request
Nicole is making an outfit for her little sister as well and yesterday we gathered her requirements. With a dramatic flourish of her existing dress, she said she would like it to look like this (barbie costume dress) but in light blue and pink and she must have a poofy skirt and be able to twirl. I love the requirements of 4 year olds! This will be a very fun outfit to make I think.
