Handmade For Hope

The Joplin Fundraiser is afoot!! There are 31 baskets to choose from full of amazing and one-of-a-kind handmade items totaling over $4,800!!! Head over to Brittany's blog to read the Rules and enter to win. You can enter for as many baskets as you want, as often as you want until July 2nd.

Here is a sample of the baskets available:

#18 The Pamper Me Basket

#23 The Jewelry Lover's Basket (4)

Each of the two baskets above feature one of my upcycled bags. I used a vintage calico print fabric and gently used denim for durability. The one in the Jewelry basket has a drawstring closure, while the one in the Pamper basket zips closed.

Praise God for what we can accomplish when we come together to help each other like this!

Have a great weekend!

Update on Joplin Relief Raffle

So here is some news about how the Relief Raffle is going as posted on Brittany's blog:

This "mega giveaway" I mentioned last week has turned into a HUGE fundraiser! It's so exciting (and almost overwhelming at times) to think about the impact that we could potentially make with this one event. So far, we have over 140 contributing crafters and artists who have collectively donated over $4000 in items to be raffled off! How amazing is that?!

For everyone who has been asking for more details and info...here it is:

• The event will begin next Wednesday, June 15, right here on the Display Your He{art} blog
• It will run through Wednesday, June 29
• Anyone and everyone is eligible to enter to win (including donating crafters)
• There will be multiple "baskets," each filled with several amazing items for you to win
• Each entry will be $1 (donated via a Paypal button) and you may enter as often as you like
• You may specify which "basket" you would like your entries to go toward
• I will keep track of each of your entries and winners will be selected at random once the giveaway has ended

You can head over to Brittany's blog to keep up dated on the progress of this fundraiser; or keep an eye on this blog as I will endeavor to post frequently when I hear new information on how YOU can get involved.

Thanks for reading!!
