I sold 10 bears at the festival over the weekend. I am 5 bears away from having my goal of 100 bears to take to the children's hospital in Florida.
I gave out a lot of business cards and met a lot of really nice people. One lady didn't really need a bear, but she gave me a $15 donation to make the bears to take to the hospital. That was really awesome.

Donations to the Red Cross
It was such a great feeling to be able to give the money I raised for the Oklahoma tornado victims to the Red Cross. It was a realy neat experience and they were so appreciative.

My First Arts Festival
I attended my first Arts and Crafts festival in Cave Spring over the weekend. The festival directors placed my spot next to a wonderful group of three ladies from Alabama to show us the ropes.
Saturday was a beautiful day and we were lucky to be able to be under a shade tree. Sunday was pretty rainy so I spent about 3 hours trying to keep dry.
I sold and took orders for 25 "Share-A-Bears". Remember, for each bear I sell, I am making and donating a bear to a children's hospital. Mom was heartbroken when her favorite bear with "Mickey Mouse" on it was one of the first bears to sell.
The college bears sold out first (4 Georgia bears, 1 Alabama bear and someone finally bought the Tennessee bear). I will definitely need to make more for my next festival. Mom picked up material do make GA Tech, Auburn and Florida yesterday.
I exceeded my goal of raising $300 for the tornado victims in Oklahoma City. I will be able to take it to the Red Cross tomorrow to make sure it gets there.
I am up to 75 bears being donated to the Children's Hospital.

Twin "Bama" bears for the Nichols Twins
I love getting pictures of people with my Share-A-Bears. Mary Jane and Macy loved their "Bama" bears - Roll Tide (that was painful to type since I am a Georgia fan). Their grandma works with my mom.
Oklahoma City -- Help me make a difference
As a teenager, I never think about not coming home from school. My mom always makes a point of telling me "I love you" many times a day. Sometimes I find that to be quite annoying, but now I have a little better understanding of why she does this.
Help me raise money for the families who are suffering from the deadly tornado. My goal is to raise $300 to donate to the American Red Cross in Oklahoma City. I can meet this goal by selling 20 teddy bears. For each bear I sell, $15 will be donated to the American Red Cross and a "Shared bear" will be donated to the Children's hospital in Orlando where my brother is completing his residency.
Together, we can make a difference and hopefully bring a little peace of mind to the someone in need.

Finals Week
Finals week is finally here. I didn't get but a couple of bears finished this weekend because I spent the majority of the time studying for my Literature and Biology finals.
I cannot wait for school to be out for the summer, but I am really sad to see say "Good-bye" to my biology teacher Miss Smollar. She is going back to school to study medicine. I made her a going away bear that represents her new career path.
Good luck Miss Smollar, I am going to miss you.

Setting Goals: 100 Bears by July
My first goal is to take 100 bears to share with the Children's hospital where my brother Alan is completing his residency. He is going to be a Pediatric Cardiologist. He is an awesome big brother.
In order to share 100 bears with the children at the hospital, I have to make and sell 100 bears. As of today, 35 bears have been donated through Share-A-Bear purchases. $15 of each bear I sell is also donated to an organization that benefits children in need. Through my Share-A-Bear sells and other fund raising opportunities, I have raised over $350 for a local literacy program.
I am learning how to keep track of expenses and how to live within a budget. I told my mom that I was the CEO of Nina's Share-A-Bear.
