My daughter entered a drawing in the Natrel Milk Box Art contest. If you all would be so kind as to vote for her submission please? Search for 470 at http://snipurl.com/2e65b Thanks!

That’s right, I’m shamelessly harnessing the power of the internet to get votes for my 5 year old’s contest entry. Hey, it seemed to work for Obama, why not me?
