Rasmus -- The Boy Who Stole My Candy Heart.

I was cleaning out the inbox last night...
randomly clicking through my e-mails, and getting ready to sign off for the night.

A new e-mail came in while I was there...and I have to tell you...

I fell in love.

Meet Rasmus.

He sold homemade truffles at his church's Shrove Tuesday dinner last night to raise money for 

Rasmus raised $68.00!  

Seriously, how can you NOT fall in love with this sweet face?


Thank you for your support, Rasmus.
YOU have helped save the life of a child with type 1 diabetes!
What a blessing you are to the entire universe!

The world is a better place,
because of Candy Hearts like yours and those of your wonderful family!

PS -- If you are organizing and event to support the Life For A Child campaign, be sure you send me the details along with a picture or two!

    Wendy,

    Thanks for introducing us to this great charity! Rasmus is pretty happy about last night...although I was up many times last night dealing with his high blood sugar from eating a truffle! :)
