ants on my pouch

The awesomely talented and all-around cool gal behind the line Bailey Doesn't Bark, RJ, has created these ants on my pouch bags to benefit that animals in Japan. Every cent of money made from these little bags is going to go to this non-profit organization. RJ's the coolest and best and so are her products. Just wanted to take a moment here on my little blog to share info on this project and spread the word slash love.

do good: reece's rainbow

So I'm doing something fun and cool and not really something I've done before over here in blog land. Or...I guess technically I've done it before, but never on my bloggy blog. It's a giveaway of one of my newest (and most popular) necklaces to help raise funds for this amazing cause, Reece's Rainbow. Sweet Priscilla, who I met at a crafts show in Waynesboro, Va a few months ago, emailed me about this cause and asked me to help her out with awareness and I jumped on it. A gal can start to feel like all she thinks about is herself and her jewelry and her calendar and all of that nonsense every once in awhile when she's trying to run her own business and that just makes me feel gross. And selfish. And grosser. Know what I mean? Opportunities like this give me teeny tiny ways to give back and make me feel, oh, a tad less gross.

So here's how it works:
Priscilla is trying to raise money for these two specific darlings, Clara and Sophie. Please oh please go to their pages and donate and then leave a comment here on this fine blog that you've done so. On Friday January 28th, we will randomly pick one lucky winner to receive this necklace (a $97.00 value).

As an added happiness, anyone who donates at least $25 to either sweet baby will receive a free "dwell in hope" print. You can check out images of that print here.

You can also comment on Priscilla's blog to be entered into this giveaway! I know sometimes blogger isn't the easiest format for blog commenting...
