The Black Dress

Hello readers! I’m so sorry I left you all in the dark for so long. I know lots of you have been wondering where I went off to. Here’s the deal.
I’ve been working super hard behind the scenes to try and keep to BDP going but honestly I think we may have to cut it quite short. See, I’ve just run out of all your generous donations. Thanks right…I simply have nothing left to wear. Which leaves me with quite a problem. WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO WEAR?
Alright, here’s our options. #1 You all donate lots and lots of goodies. #2 I just wear the dresses on their own without accessories until new donations come in. #3 We end the project prematurely and auction the donations I currently still have. (all the $$ of course goes to NAOC)
What do you guys think? Help me out. I just don’t know what to do.

Stephanie
