The girls and I just finished your "Mermaid Hailey swag basket" to send & donate to this year's event- Jessepalooza http://www.jessepalooza.org/ & it turned out really awesome!
Jesse passed away from complications of Type 1 Diabetes when he was 13. :( I've told you about him & his mom who's been an inspiration to me. Not only is she a big advocate for T1D, but she is strong & positive. She's really done so many great things to honor Jesse like this annual festival she has to celebrate his life. She's told me that she refuses to let his death define his life. Such a simple way of putting it, my mouse but there is so much meaning behind it. Thinking this way has helped her live fully in his name all these years. It's truly a testament to his life & the way he lived it.
Part of the festival is an auction where they auction off "swag baskets" from all over the country & proceeds go to diabetes organizations for a cure & awareness.
When I asked Jesse's mom what exactly a swag basket was, she said anything really, a basket of goodies with any kind of theme...it could be something that you specially liked. So here it is, I hope you like it too. :)
Love you my beautiful girl. I hope you are swimming all the beautiful oceans & blue seas.
Forever,
Your Mommy <3
