And the winner is...

WOW!! Another $4000 in less than 24 hours! Just Amazing! :-) Thank you for the project, you didn't have but we are sure glad you did :-)

Congrats Jennifer! How fun that you took photos of the drawing Ali, and thanks once more for the cool project.

I was inspired to visit your blog today and leave a comment. Now I see there was a contest! How fun. I will be sure to visit tomorrow and enter.
It is amazing to watch the mothers I know who have children with Autism. They take maternal devotion and commitment to the next level. It has touched me deeply.
I have had the privilege of learning more about the journey through my children's friends and classmates. It seems to take so much patience, commitment and drive. And it seems to make a remarkable difference. My decision to support this cause is because I know it could have just as easily affected one of my three sons.
It seems the need to intervene with children of Autism is very intensive and the daily demands relentless. I also imagine the need for outside help and support is dire when a family is faced with this additional challenge.
I admire you and your family for taking on this challenge with enthusiasm. I wish for your family tremendous joy in this adventure.

Can I just say THANK YOU!Thank you for joining so many people together, striving to acheive something, raising awareness of Autism. Parents with Autistic children, grandparents, friends and those who suffer the condition all need our support and acceptance. Autism speaks is a fantastic cause & it is so very empowering to know that as a group us lil' ol' scrapbookers and life artists are going to make a difference. So to You Ali and to all those that have donated and asked another donate Thank you for teaching me about true people power,staying passionate & acceptance.

Wow, this is all so cool and inspiring! Thank you Ali for your good work and thank you all the people that are so generous for this cause.
We really should be doing something like this over here in the Netherlands!
I'm going to ask my neighbour if she would be willing to ask her friends in the USA to donate to Autism Speaks in my and maybe her behalf!

What you do never ceases to amaze me, you selflessly give your time to such good courses and spend so much time giving to other people ie aezine, run a job and look after a family , you inspire me when i think times are hard it makes me realise thet sometimes they are not what they seem. ill be donating, your efforts have not gone unoticed! bless you and thanks.

I am a long time lurker here and wanted to say you are totally amazing! You are one of the most selfless people and i really admire all you do. Thanks for a wonderful blog, the amazing inspiration and the awesome projects.

Bonjour Ali,
Merci beaucoup for the gifts you're offering.
I'm so sorry not being able to help you as I would like.
I put your badge on my blog.
As an unemployed person, I have unfortunately no money at all to offer.
I think to you & to Simon everyday, and I sincerely hope everything will become better for you very soon.
I send you très gros bisous from Normandie.

Ali,
I loved your article (Transitions) in the April issue of CK. And this project, in its combination of artistic expression and diary entries is therapy and legacy all in one place. Words do, indeed, have the power to change reality. Thank you for a wonderful concept and best wishes,
Vianna (somewhere on the west coast of Florida)

Still watching sixdegrees in awe, Ali - still amazed - what a way to usher in Spring - a season of renewal and color and hope - beauuuuuutiful, girl !!

Thanks for the extra project and for being someone who inspires me because of more than your scrapbooking gift. Many thanks.

You are so kind. You always manage to impress me, and the best part, you make me think!!! Thank you again for the kind gift. --TriciaH

My nephew has been diagnosed with early signs of Autism and your blog reminds me everyday that there is hope a lot of it that this can be handled. You do amazing job. If I could have credit cards in different names I would donate on every single one.

Thank You :)

Wow I can't believe it's over 30,000. As I said the first time I donated, I think what you are doing is amazing! Can't wait to see what the total is when the contest ends! Thanks for the really great project downloads as well!
