Upcoming Goodness


My daughter is going to Africa this summer to work with an orphanage. She'll be caring for children among other things and working alongside others who return each year.

In honor of her trip, I'm throwing a Blog Party on Monday, March 12! I'll be giving away an ORIGINAL painting along with prizes, games, and fun DIY's from 8:00 a.m. till 8:00 p.m. There'll be a coupon for 30% off all orders that day in my Etsy shop--ALL proceeds will go to my daughter's trip.

I'm furiously working on new paintings and fun surprises to have ready for the party. EEeee--I'm so excited! I'll be sharing sneak peeks over the weekend. Hope you can make it to the party!

  3. Woo hoo and hooray for the party! I'll definitely be stopping by. My cousin did something similar, where she traveled to Africa with an organization to help in a school/orphanage for a month. She loved it and it changed her outlook on things. I think it's an amazing for these kids to grow while at the same time helping others. Kudos to your little girl for getting involved.

  9. How fun!! I'll do what I can to send my peeps your way! And I must say, 1. your daughter is lovely, and 2. How exciting, what she is doing! I've regretted so many times that I didn't use my youth and freedom (read; no mortgage or children) to pursue more worldly, do-good type things. Good for her!
