PEACE by Isabella Garvey




Isabella, age 7, is one of three contest winners. Her PEACE design knocked our socks off! Read on to hear what Isabella has to say about verymeri on the design contest.

I saw the Kindergarten Rocks t shirt when I started Kindergarten and my mom bought it for me. Then I saw the Far Out One, and The Super Jew one, and I got those two. I also got the no homework shirt, 2 of our school shirts, and a camp shirt from verymeri. I really liked the shirts. I heard that kids made them and I thought that was cool. I love to draw, but I didn’t know I could do one. When I was at the Hanukah Bazaar at my school, they were selling verymeri shirts, and they let the kids draw some while our moms were shopping. I drew a bunch of them. Then my mom bought me the Go Green One. I didn’t think about winning at all. When I found out I was in the contest I was sooooo excited. My mom told me that they chose my peace design out of lots of others and people now had to vote. I love drawing peace signs!

I started telling everyone I knew to vote. I had my mom call and email her friends and my friends’ parents, and I had my “bubby” email the whole family, here and in NY & NJ. I made little note and gave them out to people in my neighborhood. I even knocked on neighbors doors. I made my mom tell people everywhere and my dad told some clients. And then I forgot about it because my mom said that we wouldn’t know for another month! Oh, and I prayed.

On Thursday my mom asked me to guess about something that happened that I would be excited about. I couldn’t guess that I won, because the contest was so long ago. Then she said, what did you ask everyone you knew to do? When I realized I won, I screamed! I wanted to tell everyone, my neighbors, and friends. Mom wouldn’t let me go next door until I got home. I can’t wait to see my t shirt. I want to win again, and make lots of money and become a famous drawer.
