Suze, thanks for the link! Darn, I wish we'd found out sooner (but she just wrote that paper on the 16th so it was already past the deadline). We'll definitely enter it for next year though, great idea!
I know her teacher entered it in some kind of regional writing competition too, so perhaps something will come of that. Really, she didn't write it for recognition or even for the grade...she wrote from the heart (which is why it's so good).
Buying from cottage industy really feels good, doesn't it? I mean, I am in the trenches too & it's really hard to make a go of it, but that's why I do all my gift shopping on Etsy now...because I know how wonderful it feels to sell something you made with your own two hands & I like to spread the joy. :-)
