Donating

Hi, everybody, all of our followers and readers. This is going to be a short post, but we are donating our Flowers4Children money today. I think we made around 25 dollars. Good job, guys!

Spread the Word

Hello everyone! If you are reading this... thanks. :) I know i haven't posted in a while (sorry!) and if you still check this you rock! We are going to try to post more often... we just took a little break, you know. :-) If you want to order, that would rock, you could find HOW to order here. Remember, profits go to benefit preemies. BUT, if you don't want to order, the next biggest way you could help us is to spread the word of Flowers4children! Add our button to your blog, tell friends, blog about it, whatever! Thank you so much. More posts coming up.

AND THE WINNER IS....

Jill from The Chronicles of Corbin! Congrats and stay tuned for more givaways.

New Game Plan

We have lots of new followers (GOODY!) and my mom says I can't be giving out our address so here is the plan if you want to order some of these lovely barrettes, for CHARITY. 

You can email us at flowers4children@gmail.com with the number you want, and requested colors (we will do our best to get you the colors you want) and your address (which we will keep confidential).  We will then send you an invoice and you can pay to my mom's paypal account.

We charge ONE MEASLY DOLLAR per barrette.
And we charge $3 for shipping and handling and to cover our paypal costs.  I know this seems like a lot, but if you order a lot of barrettes this amount does NOT go up!

And remember, we donate ALL of our profits to March of Dimes, to help premature babies.  Don't YOU want to help premature babies?

And Then She Snapped giveaway

We are very happy because we have happily donated three barettes to And then She Snapped's giveaway. To enter the givaway, you have to follow this blog, Flowers 4 Children. That counts as one entry. For more entries, follow MY blog (grace loves the beatles) or follow And then she snapped. Thank you Jen and Jill (our first two entries) and please follow the blogs!

SPRING INTO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, it's both Grace AND Sam here.. there was a little screw up with our prices, we updated them ourselves without updating them on the blog, too. So they are standard $1 for 1. Nothing more. But now we are having our cool BACK TO SCHOOL SALE!!!!! They can spice up a uniform, keep that in mind! We always have a few if you are feeling a little boring. So in the sale, they are all regular price up until you buy 5, then you get one free. And all of our money still goes to March of Dimes... Pretty cool, huh?? We think so. :) Remember, pre-order now because our sale doesn't start until August 1th, and ends August 12th. Email us @ flowers4children@gmail.com to pre order... We have had good business so far and so the sale clips will go FAST... PRE ORDER now!

Also, we have decided to only donate our profits at the end of this month. So the grand total for the month of July is... drumroll please.... 6 bucks! Not bad, considering we have only been in business for a couple weeks. So next month we will try to TOP that six dollars, at seven, or maybe eight, WITH OUR SALE! Sorry, it just got a little out of hand. Remember, this money goes to benefit preemies, which is a FABULOUS reason to buy them... to save babies like Mina and Connor and Dylan.


One last little thing... Samantha and I will be gone at camp until Thursday... we will check the email right away when we get back.. we double dog pinky promise. got it? good.

flowers4children has not been cancelled... Sorry there, er, hasn't been much blogging going on. We're still selling our barrettes, and so if you want to buy something, please email either Sam or I at flowers4children@gmail.com. Thanks. -Grace

Pricing

Hey everybody! Grace here. Sam and i are having a great time planning out our business. As we were thinking about it, we were thinking about how much we can impact the world. You can, too. You can impact many families of preemies just by buying our product or donating to March of Dimes. As we may have said before, 75% goes to March of Dimes and then 25% goes towards buying new supplies. We have decided that Sammie will be doing most of the barrette-making. I'll get some practice and then maybe some day I'll sell mine, too. But for now, I'll help with the blogging and the selling and the managing for Samantha. Now, let's talk about pricing. This is what we have decided:

$1 each
$3 for 4
$5 for 7

It may look a little spendy, but remember that this is for charity and none of the profit goes to our personal money. Thank you!

How Flowers 4 Children started

Grace and I were talking about the little barettes I decorated with pipecleaners and started talking about helping people. Well, about ten minutes later we came up with a charity cause to help, we found March of Dimes.

What we are planning on doing is taking 75% of the profit and giving that to March of Dimes, and the other 25% goes towards the supplies to make the barettes.

We are doing this in honor of Samantha's cousins Connor and Dylan, who were preemies, and then Grace's sister, Mina, who passed away in the NICU. To read Mina's story, please click **HERE**.
