A Contest!!!

HI!!

I would first like you give Kathy a shout-out…. She has been amazing with this blog, and has truly livened it up with her humor, intelligence and her outlook on life. Kendra and I love love love her writing! Kendra is doing well with baby Marcus, and is officially able to get out of her place from time to time… which is REALLY good because she was going a little stir-crazy. I am done on the Ville. I had a wonderful few months and will miss many of my Smallville peeps dearly.

So…. during this holiday lull, we are throwing out a really exciting contest for all teen girls from 13-17 in the L.A. area. If you are NOT in L.A. but are willing to get yourself there, that is fine too. A newsletter saying the exact same thing will be going out tonight or tomorrow… If you have questions just comment them, or e-mail them. If there are FAQs, I will post the answers before I leave on the 25th. Here are the details:

COMING UP ON MARCH 7th, 2009: TIMEOUT FOR TEEN GIRLS

jessica f

December 23, 2008

hey just a suggestion, are there any volunteer opportunities for us older GBD-er gals to more involved with the workshop? I’m pretty sure some of us are around Kristin’s age (me :) ) or younger that would love to get the chance to help out. just wondering!


jessica f

December 23, 2008

Kathy

December 23, 2008

I am now deaf from your shout-out.  Thank you. ;)
 
And I’m going to jump on jessica f’s bandwagon and wish you a “Happy way early bday” as well.  I’m not sure if we’re talking like a December birthday here or a July birthday or what, but I figured I should cover my bases just in case.

Best of luck to everyone who decides it sure would be nice to chill in Cali for a couple days.  :)

Auntie Kailin

December 23, 2008

You mean most of us regulars on GBD are not in the demographics? I’m not the only Auntie around, I guess, meaning older, wiser woman. At least Kristin was so sweet to say I’m “young lady Sparklesoup” in the newsletter. Thank you, Kristin! I don’t feel so old right now. Glad you and Kendra pick CA, too. We do have the most creative teens around…just ask Taylor Nikole!


taylor nikole

December 23, 2008

Auntie Kailin

Binks should definitely go for it, too! This is a great workshop to extend your creativity and to learn from some top-notch mentors. Seize the Day!

I was so excited when I first heard about this, but I’m also not in the age range for the contest. I would LOVE to be able to help out at this workshop if there would be any way to do that.


Auntie Kailin

I’m telling my teen nieces about this contest, but is this open for those teens already working in their chosen professions? One of my teen nieces starred in a long-running tv series so…not sure if she qualifies. She’s now 16 and lives in Los Angeles.
