you are right Tania .. it could have been much much worse
OH yes .. the fart car as we call it .. my hubby wanted to get Far-Tcar on the tag but thought they'd figure it out DUH!
anyways, it's got a ton of miles on it but runs like a gem .
so ... good ole faithful.
What's the latest with the sizes and cost?

We had the screenprinted bracelets priced and they are WAY to high.
We would have to charge $6.00 for each bracelet. Ordering a minimum of 200. It would take weeks to get them back.
We were going to get black ones--but feel the writing would not show up.
I went ahead and ordered bracelet number 4. I hope this does not upset anyone--it is a BEAUTIFUL bracelet and the cost of each bracelet will be $3.00. It has the colors of our Awareness Ribbon.
I am hoping that the order will be here in 10 days.
If you are interested in ordering bracelets - please PM me with your order.
I will then give you my address and you can send me payment.
As soon as I get them in - I will send them to you.
I ordered large sizes. If you like the bracelet and want different sizes - after the first of the year I will take orders and place another order.
I thought this would work out the best right now to make sure that there is still an interest with a different bracelet.
Thank you for understanding and I look forward to receiving your orders.

Shouldn't it have been bracelet #1 then, since that one got the second most votes?
Mind posting a photo of it when you get it? Maybe the colors look better in person.
Sorry, not trying to be negative or anything. Just being honest, I didn't care for that one.

To be honest, I was disappointed too. I really liked #1 but was receptive to #3. They seemed more like "our" bracelet, with our ribbon on them. But I have to say.... Kate sent me a rainbow one and I LOVE it!!!!! It is beautiful and it does raise awareness and that's the goal, right? If we have to price them at $6 or $7 each, then no one will buy them and they won't be raising awareness in a box. Had we known they would be that expensive (we asked for estimates months ago, just got them), we wouldn't have set up the voting. It's my fault, I wanted everyone to have a say-so on "our awareness bracelet" as I am very much anti-dictating anything about CDH.... our kids, should be our choice. But with this, we don't have another choice - this time! Your votes DO count!!! And we will diligently be searching for a better company with better prices to create the bracelet that everyone voted for. It will take time to do this though! I know some of you are disappointed but let's stay positive and still order the rainbow ones and give them a shot, ok?

I'm excited, I just sent you in my order Steph!! I admit Im a little upset we couldnt get the screen printed one, but the point is to raise awareness and the more I can get the better I will probably order more after the new year, once I get these ones and see who all wants one!!

Thanks for organising this Steph! What would be the best way for you to receive a payment from Australia? Could we do an electronic transfer? Maybe all of us Aussies could work out the best way together?

Might be best Maryanne - put in a joint order and we can all transfer the money into one person's account who can submit the order and pay. We will also have to consider postage - it is mega expensive so we will all have to add money to cover that. So which Aussie wants to coordinate it
