      Congratulations on successfully being funded! I travel to Cleveland often and would love to drop by once Buzz & Growl is established. Do you have a notification list for those of us who would love to be notified of updates regarding BG?

      hello fellow designer, I was so impressed, Valerie, with your ease & dignity of manner on project runway. I would have been crying continuously! You did us all so proud for Cleveland. I would like to get involved with your group. I'm happy to donate & hope to hear from you soon.

      My pledge of $100 got me 2 Christmas gifts --- a signed sketch by Valerie for my Project Runway fanatic (and Valerie fan!) sister, and a Fashion Ninja for my doll collecting sister-in-law (whose mom was an incredible seamstress and worked sewing in factories til the jobs all went overseas). This is so win - win - win! And it helps a great cause and great gal!
