Wishful...

I have been very fortunate to sell 4 of my bracelets for charity (one set of earrings too). I'm happy :-)

My goal right now is to raise the first $50 - Then I will be sending a check to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. My mom is matching anything I raise - so I only need $5 more...Keeping my fingers crossed :-)

I plan to add more to my selection of PIF items for charity today...Please visit my shop to see what's new.

Whoopee :-)

I am very happy to say...We sold two of our fundraising bracelets today!!!!!!!

So...I will contribute $10 to children's brain tumor research & support AND my mom will match that = $20 for a very worthy cause.

That is surely something to be happy about :-)

Girl On A Mission...

I want to do something to make a difference...

After thinking about it for awhile, I have finally decided to take some action. (with the help of inspiring stories from fellow etsy artists and customers) TODAY....I listed my first items to support a cause which is very meaningful to me. I am offering items in our shop to help kids with brain tumors. I chose this, because my little brother was diagnosed with a brain tumor when he was ten years old. He has been through a lot over the years. I want to do anything I can to make it easier on other kids, their families, and to help in research for new treatments. I hope there are people out there who are interested in helping me support this cause. My mom has offered to match whatever amount I raise through the sales of these items - that is exciting!!!

I will be putting more PIF items up for sale soon - I hope to reach as many people as I can - So please spread the word :-)

From little seeds of kindness...Grow the most beautiful gardens of joy :-) KP

We've Only Just Begun...

Okay...So it has taken us awhile to get a blog started. There is a first time for everything I guess. Right now, we are focusing on adding new things to our shop on Etsy. Kim has been working on Pay It Forward listings for Etsy this past week - Hoping to spread a little joy. Joe is starting to work on a few drawings for an art gallery, where his work will be showcased this summer. He is also planning on working on smaller projects to offer on Etsy as well.
