Every week of the year, Beverly of the How Sweet The Sound Blog, sets a place at her table for hundreds of bloggers to meet on the weekend and share their posts. She calls her event Pink Saturday and she is dedicating the weekend of August 12-14 to the MiracleMakeover Video Reveal Party for Charlie Grady and his family. Beverly, and the other bloggers, shown here, hosted last year; they gathered hundreds of blog posts to share the MiracleMakeover story and video reveal. Many of you wrote posts sharing something positive, uplifting, mystical, or down-right miraculous. We filled the internet with a week of "light." For each comment that was left Design Gives Back donated $1 to another future makeover. Well, that project is now complete and we are celebrating Aug.12-18 with the reveal. Beverly and friends helped us start a cycle-of-goodness. Now, it is time to continue on and all become "Charlie's Angels" next week with our posts and comments that will seed another makeover for someone in-need and help Charlie's designated charity Friends of Kids with Cancer. Please join in the effort. Beverly, since you are camera-shy let the roses above represent you!
Sherry of Country Wings in Phoenix is also hosting a MiracleMakeover Party post. You have to see, hear and feel her creative posts to believe them! She is the Ms. Ziegfeld of blogging. Especially, when she really cares about a cause....her posts will make you cry and laugh all at once. She is sure to have an amazing post about Charlie and his family. Stop by, be moved and leave a comment. We donate $1 every time you comment from August 12-18 about the MiracleMakeover Reveal video and project . The money goes to help those in-need.
Artist (and kind soul) Erin Houghton of The Painted Garden has donated one of her amazing bicycle paintings for the giveaway! Also we will have:
a $50 Mastercard Gift Card
a $100 Hobby Lobby Gift Card
a $200 Lowe's Gift Card will be included in our prizes.
Charlotte and Ginger of BloggerSpirit are MiracleMakeover Hosts for August 12-18 at the weekly blog event Spiritual Sunday. You can create a post about something positive or uplifting and join in by linking to their party to celebrate Charlie's reveal. Your comments and posts will have a donation made on their behalf by us to Friends of Kids With Cancer. There will be a hundred or so posts at Spiritual Sunday August 12-18.
Susan of Between Naps on the Porch will be posting for her event Metamorphosis Monday in honor of the MiracleMakeover Reveal Party. Her Monday, August 15, linky event features projects and DIY transformations. Join her party, link to the event and over here with your uplifting post. Let us know and your post will count and earn donations in your name from us!
The Charlie's Room Miracle Makeover story is featured this month in Guideposts: America's #1 Inspirational Magazine with 8,000,000 readers all seeking true stories of hope & inspiration. Two subscriptions to Guideposts are in the giveaway!

Oh Kelee Sweetie...
I am so blessed to have been drawn to you through the good Lord himself. He knew I needed a purpose and he guided me to you. You needed assistance. Together we have made such a beautiful pair.
I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful my heart feels each time I begin to type and start a story of LOVE. It makes my heart "HAPPY". You inspire me to write sweet friend.
Thank you for the kind words. As always I so enjoy being a small part of this BIG project of LOVE. Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity to share along. Many hugs and SO much love from Phoenix, Sherry
