She's an American Girl

Shannon Seip from 'American Girl' Magazine called me this morning. They want to do an article on Landre Griffin and Shannon was looking for her contact info. Landre is the girl who won the 2005 Pillsbury Kids Bake It Fun contest by making a hedgehog cake. Pillsbury contacted me last year about going on the Tony Danza show and presenting Landre with a hedgehog. Being at the Tony Danza show was a total blast. Check out the article and video clip. We got to wait back stage in the staff room because they didn't really have a special room to put us in. We met and talked with different staff members and we even got to meet Tony Danza briefly (and watch him play ping pong.... he wasn't very good).

Landre is a very sweet girl and we got to talk to her briefly after the show and give her a mini lesson on how to care for her new hedgehog.

Anyway, I was able to get in contact with Mary Griffin and pass on Shannon's contact info. Mary says that both Landre and Tony are doing great and she promised to scan some pictures and send them our way.

We'll keep you posted on Landre and the 'American Girl' article.
