Using Donors Choose

Hello to all.  It has been months since I have posted a new update.  I am back to my old teaching stomping ground.  This year, I am teaching 2nd grade.  It is very exciting.  However, I am absolutely exhausted.  So I will make this post short and sweet.  I have just submitted my first project to Donors Choose.  I would like to know if you have been successful using it or if there are any tips that I should consider when posting projects.  Thanks:)!
