My Movie!

Last year, my Mom's friend, Betsy, made a video ALL about me!!! Over 100 copies of this video were given to friends and family in thanks for all of their love and support.

Betsy was finally able to load it to my webpage - please excuse the poor quality and the words "evaluation copy" at the bottom of the slides - Powerpoint is a very pesky thing!

Enjoy seeing my great family!

The Tulip Project

Hello Everybody!

I am getting very excited about the next two months. We will be doing our annual fund-raising for Livee's Loonies for CHEO in April and May. And, oh yeah, its also my birthday in May! I will be FOUR years old - can you believe that?!?

Please check back on my blog often in the next few weeks, because I will have lots and lots of announcements for all of my many fans to read about Livee's Loonies.

On May 3rd, there will be a giant yard sale at the high school just like last year, with a barbeque and a bake sale and lots of items for sale.

Another great project that we will have for the first time this year is called "The Tulip Project".

This project was created by my friend Paige's Mom, Betsy. Paige has Down syndrome too, and had a bit of a rough winter. You can read all about her here.

Betsy and her sister have created a series of hand-made cards that will be sold to benefit my fund-raiser. Each card is one-of-a-kind (just like me!) and will be sold throughout the months of April and May. There are a variety of cards, but each of them have a tulip on them somewhere, along with the story of why a tulip was chosen on the backs of the cards.

These cards are one set for $15.00 or two sets for $25.00. If you would like to order some, please email me at LiveesLoonies@hotmail.com, or call my mom or Betsy.

I will be posting some pictures of these cards within the next few days, so stop by again soon to see the works of my friends!

Love and smooches,

Princess Olivia

It's that time of year again!!

Hello to all of my friends!!

Well, its that time of year again, and my family and friends are starting to get excited about "Livee's Loonies for CHEO"

The most exciting news I have to share with all of you is that I have been HOSPITAL FREE since last April - almost a whole year! I'm getting stronger and, of course, cuter by the minute. I am starting to talk, and am keeping my family entertained with all of my new words. I bet you wouldn't guess that one of the words I know and say all the time is "hockey!"

This year, my friends will be working on a very special project called "The Tulip Project" that will help raise money for CHEO in my name. Please check back here often for details...I am very excited to tell you all about it!

Happy Valentine's Day to all of my fans!

hugs and big wet sloppy kisses,

Princess Olivia

Hi My Friends!

I bet you thought I was going to retire from Livee's Loonies for CHEO - ha! Don't forget, I'm just a baby, with lots of energy to keep going and going and going...

I am happy to report that even after the telethon was finished, Livee's Loonies for CHEO collected yet another AMAZING donation. The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, along with many schools in the board, have VERY GENEROUSLY donated another $2533 to our cause!!!

This brings the total donation from the schools in this board to $3,648. WOW!!!!!

A very special thank-you goes out to Sue Wilson, Chair of the Special Education Advisory Committee, as well as Donaleen Hawes, Superintendent of Education for their extraordinary efforts to get our message out to all of our schools.

I am a very lucky little girl!!!!

Love and kisses,

Princess Olivia

P.S. Someone asked my daddy for his autograph this weekend because they said he was like a famous movie star for being on TV!!!! *giggle*

Ta Da!

It's Almost Time!!

I'm so excited!! Please tune in on Sunday, June 2nd to the CHEO Telethon on CJOH to see my family and I present a BIG cheque on behalf of Livee's Loonies for CHEO.

You won't believe the grand total - and I owe it all to all of you who so generously donated!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

More Thanks to Give!!

You aren't going to believe this, but I have even MORE people to thank for this weekend.

Thank-you to the Fickes family and Giant Tiger on Saturday who very generously donated all of the food and drink for my barbecue which raised over $500 for Livee's Loonies for CHEO!

Wow!!!

And thank-you to Christine's Restaurant, and Christine Gauthier, her staff, and her suppliers, for donating all of the proceeds of her day on Sunday to Livee's Loonies for CHEO! It was an incredible gesture, and, best of all, the food you made for me was YUMMY!!!

My Mom and Dad sure have good friends and family!

Big kisses,

Miss Olivia the Princess!
