i love that the jewlery i wear can have a POSITIVE outcome for someone else.
that is so totally cool.
it's helping out in a tangible way.

monday monday.

YOU ARE TOO AMAZING!!!

$2060???
wow.
don't you wish we could go and GIVE them their stoves?
smile so big and say THIS IS FOR YOU! and give them a hug?!!

what a fabulous thought.

THANK YOU to every one of you that gave a stove.
we helped 103 women so far his week in a BIG huge way!!!

that makes me want to cry tears of joy.

together we can change things!
thank you. 

the fundraiser is open through january 31....so no reason to stop now.  :) 

.......................................................

i have some pics of my craft room.
i was sewing some curtains in there today....finally able to move with out knocking something over! 

it's not big....that's it....wall to wall.
it's packed FULL of everything i would need to craft my heart out.
it's mix matched of lots of well worn furniture and crazy storage and color.
it's not finished being painted....and probably never will be.
but oh my goodness i love that room so much.

and for now....it's cleaned up.

i have to practice all my craft weekend crafts and get them all decided and work out the details.
and now i have some room to do that.

 

13 stoves.

i don't like uneven-ish numbers.

my donation page for the adventure project stopped at $740.
$740 is an AWESOME amount of money.
it really really is!

BUT $1000 is so much better.

it's 13 stoves.
that's it.

if we bought 13 more stoves together we'd have donated $1000 to women in Haiti.
with $1000 we will have provided FIFTY women in Haiti with a way to provide for their family.
given them some of their time back....saving their income they were using on charcoal to use towards education or food or starting a small business....given them a way to make money and gain dignity & confidence. 




that is all we need to reach $1000....13 more.

look at her smile!
you can be a part of something BIG.

YOU can change a life.

so let's keep giving!!

DONATE HERE to give a stove in Haiti.

i love your big hearts.
thank you for all you've given so far.

do i have two friends?

so this is the verse that SPOKE to me yesterday.
i knew that i was going to write this post.
and i was reading The Message and there is was....clear as a bell.



today is the 2 year anniversary of the earthquake in haiti.

i have been thinking about it a lot this week.

even when we have nothing material.....we have jesus.
and that is everything.

but if you are reading this....you have a computer and/or a phone.
and you are probably like me....NOT without EVERYTHING basic like those is haiti.
it's hard to wrap your brain around isn't it?
it is so hard to imagine Jesus being the only thing i would "have"...
even saying that sounds so worldly and yucky and full of myself and i don't like it!
it's true.
but it's very hard to visualize what life is like for the people in haiti.
and i want to help.

well today....to mark the two year anniversary....the Adventure Project is running a HUGE fundraiser.

it's called   You + Two   ...........................................................................

"We want to turn the second anniversary of the Haiti earthquake into a day of record-breaking impact. 

It's a simple idea. We are each finding 2 friends. Two friends who will recognize the anniversary by sponsoring a $20 charcoal-efficient stove for a family in Haiti. And the movement begins when those two friends reach out to their 2 friends.

These stoves are revolutionary, allowing families to breathe easier, cook faster, and increase their income by saving on fuel costs. The money saved is money used to send their kids to school, start small businesses, and eat more nutritious food. The stoves are produced locally in Port au Prince and sold by women entrepreneurs. It's a sustainable business model providing a life-saving product. 



So we are marking this anniversary with a ripple movement of friends.
2 years, 2 friends, 2 stoves.

Buy your stove. And find your two friends."

COME JOIN ME and donate.
