You ladies have blown me out the water with your generosity and your stories about aleida to me....
For a minute today I was freaking out a bit. As everyone knows I am having Aleida's blog published in a hard cover book for her family (kids and hubby) and for about 12 hours i had a mental break down thinking i needed her login information to typepad to pull it over...so first thing today i was on the horn with Blurb and spoke to a nice lady. I explained to her i wanted this to be a surprise and i really would feel uncomfortable asking her husband for the information and she said that it should not be a prolem for me to manually upload every post and every pic. Of course it would be easier if i had that information because they would just pull it right over and i would tweak it but none the less...i will do this....it will get done and i cried on the phone with this lady because that was music to my ears...
i knew some way i was having this book done and it did't matter if i had to travel to the moon with it...
I AM HAPPY TO REPORT the book IS STARTED...after it is printed they assured me i would have it in my mailbox within 7-10 days of me hitting the submit for publication button....
Without you ladies this idea would not have been able to come true and i thank everyone of you from all over the world (LITERALLY) who made a contribution.
You better know that fiery rican is smiling down on everyone of us now.

I just sent a donation also. I think this is a great idea...and not only do I want to run and hug my kids...but I want to make sure that I keep scrapping and blogging so that one day I can leave a legacy behind also. Prayers for her family. We just lost my 19 year old Brother-in-law to a drunk driver in July..we have been in horrible pain. I hate to think of the journey down this awful road that Alieda's family will be traveling.
I would like to donate ... is it too late?
Hi Sara...i tried to find you but i couldn't...no it is not to late to donate... :) and i know they are going to just love what we are doing for them
