Great post Monica - I have linked the button on my blog back to this post, I'm excited to see what Michelle will do for the flyer.

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!! This link is already posted on the Dorcas web site (www.dorcasproject.org) and I can't wait to donate AND see her in print! What an exciting journey of love, eh, girlfriend??? ~ Mo

Monica,
This looks really wonderful.
WOOOHOOOO! I'm so excited & I just can't hide it ... I'm about to lose control & I think I ... LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!
I am speechless!!! This is sooo amazing and awe inspiring!!!
I've got the button on my blog and checked to make sure it leads back here - it did! I'll write something up soon too. This is a great write-up so I really want to get people to come here to see it all rather than just read a post I make so I'll work on it but at least the button is up.
I'm already linked via the button, & saving my $$ to donate! You know, some people say online friends aren't really 'friends' but just 'cyber' friends. I say, HA! I KNOW my heart and spirit are totally linked to every other person involved in this beautiful project, and most of all, lil' Monica, to YOU! I will soooo be making hardcopies of the button WITH the info AND lots of fliers as soon as it's posted! THIS IS AN EXTREMELY WORTHWHILE PROJECT! I'm so proud to be part of it. Let's ALL get out the word & spread it like but-tah!
Girl Power and power to the boobs, I am going to be putting my heart and soul into this project for womankind all over the world.
Thank you everyone of you for making this worthwhile cause soooo much fun. I will be spreading the word to all in the UK.
I will be linking back to this blog!!!!

How thrilling Monica! This is a huge excitement! I am miffed over how to add the button to my WordPress blog, for the life of me, I can't seem to figure it out. I'm still a blog novice ;)
HOORAY - How very exciting to see it all coming together. I have a link on my blog. I think I'll also send a postcard. Well done Monica
Thank you for lovely flyer.I printed it out and it came out small and lettering too light?
WooHoo It's coming together. I have a link on my blog. I'm also going to send postcards. Way to Go Monica
Just had to share my excitement! I got my 20 yr old son (at first he told me he wasn't a blogger :) to hold still long enough to figure out how to add your button to my sidebar = Yippee!!! It's all in knowing 'how'!
Love what you are doing. Thanks so much. Big hugz!!
