Vinyl is good in theory and other seemingly good ideas

When I ordered the door decals my husband said get a magnet.... But I didn't want some jerk to steal it just for fun... So I ordered vinyl... Well it stretches when you put it on and doesn't look as awesome as I saw it in my mind. The important part I suppose is that people can read it

This is the view from the other side that turned out slightly better but also not as well as I had hoped. I'm a little concerned about washing my car as well....it needs it but it was not the cheapest thing to put on my car so hoping I can wash it without these falling off. Also....need to remind myself to listen to my husband more often. 

In other news, I ordered some pens to give out when I go talk to Financial Aid officers so hopefully they are reminded or a student is reminded of Lily's List every time they pick it up. We will see if this pays off or not.

The pens are the same as the vinyl logos on the car.

Well you may be asking yourself....what else? Here is the thing, I've been pretty busy lately and have been hoping against hope that someone would respond to my business letters I sent out. So far I haven't heard a peep since the Dave Ramsey letter. I have also been attempting to spread the word via craigslist/backpage but have just received spam instead of any genuine replies. I also have been attempting to rally the troops at Lily's List itself with little to no enthusiasm. I guess I'm not sure why this idea is not catching on....I wonder if it's with the economy, people less willing to give, more people with a more acute need than I ? I'm not quite sure. I'm still doing my part however I just don't know what will come of it. I remain hopeful as always and will continue to fight the good fight!
