Pages and Progress

Hey Family,

Just wanted to share with you a few screenshots of the charitable organizations I am registered with that I have been donating portions of my Etsy sales and items to.

This is a recent screenshot of a video email I received from the President and CEO of the American Red Cross with video feed showing some of the devastation in Haiti but what ARC has been able to do to help. I nearly cried halfway through the end. It's really bad down there but hope is growing. I appreciated  receiving this as it is intended to keep contributors up to date with what's going on and where the donations are going.

This is my personal page with Team ACS where dontions can be contributed directly to help me with my personal fundraiser goal to contribute to Team Etsy Project Embrace's overall team goal.My goal is to raise $1,000 dollarsso far I have raised $200 

. As you can see I have a long way to go...

This is the email link to my personal goal page where friends family, supporters and contributers can see my personal progress page above for themselves. I have had a few customers ask me for this link that purchased ACS items.

And here is our Team Etsy Project Embrace Page- I omitted the teams names to protect their privacy. The beaming beauty is Laura Slocum, the inspiration behind the idea of EPE.

Our Team goal is to raise $9,000 dollars for cancer research and awareness.We are at $6.710.00 !!! We are sooo close;-)

You can find Laura's blog at http://staytuned09.blogspot.com/

HeartsforHaiti.etsy.com now has a blog! http://etsyforhaiti.blogspot.com/

The love is pouring at HeartsForHaiti.etsy.com- Currently raised for Doctors Without Borders (after fees): $23,969.74 as of 11:25pm EST 1/30/10

Ethnic Awesomeness-New Listings from Ny

Hey Family!

I haven't listed anything new from my shop lately so I just wanted to drop a quick blurb of my upcoming listings I will be posting tonight in my Etsy shop: These black peacock feathers are hott! I love the almost raven /off black color of them. These are excellent quality synthetic feathers that have been bleached, then dyed a nice off black/deep navy teal color.

I haven't listed anything new from my shop lately so I just wanted to drop a quick blurb of my upcoming listings I will be posting tonight in my Etsy shop: These black peacock feathers are hott! I love the almost raven /off black color of them. These are excellent quality synthetic feathers that have been bleached, then dyed a nice off black/deep navy teal color. The dye is semi-colorfast so it can run just a little bit when in contact with warm/hot water but it is a long lasting hue.

You will find these in sample pair of two, sets of four and sets of 8.

India- is my latest patina earring that will added to my shop. She is gorgeous! Beautiful Verdigris patina brass tribal style teardrop connector with a handmade teal and brown dotted swirl lampwork beads handcrafted by Sheltie19 on Etsy.

These are fun Ankhs are carved bone pendants made from cruelty-free, non endangered , non sacred/non ritual domestic livestock imported from Niger, Africa.

So stop by and check them out;-) these listings have also been donated to my shop fundraiser for Etsy Project Embrace.

Have a happy Friday;-)
