Thank You! Thank You! Save the Children Fundraising

I was so touched by everyone who either purchased or offered to donate some money to the Save The Children fund.  I never did post about what ultimately happened so here's an update. 

Thanks to the sales of the Japanese Thank You cards and Peace, Love, and Joy prints (both reduced to $5 each), as well as donations from a few people online and at the day job, I was able to raise close to $100 for the relief fund.  I added my own small donation to make it $150 and donated to the organization.

 

Thanks to everyone for your kind support of this effort!  I wish I had more of an influence to have raised more money for this but I am just so thankful for all of those who did and for the amount we did raise.  But now I have been bitten by the aid bug and am wondering what else I can do to help!

CD Case Diorama (via Art Projects for Kids)

 
Love love loving this idea for a CD case diorama - the potential is endless and they would close up and store away nicely! (Bonus for a mom who has just recently gotten the artwork and projects under control.) 

Thanks Crafty Crow for introducing me to Art Projects for Kids!
