Quilling Dream

I joined a charity auction, and decided to quill up a dream piece. I love bubble letters and new that they would look lovely with a little cloud and a couple of stars!

After a failed attempt, someone mentioned putting one of the stars in the D, and I just knew it would look perfect!

After I laid out the fluffs for the clouds I just had to add a little bit of linings to some of the bigger puffs. The cloud is made with 2 shades of purple and some grey.

Last of all I added a bigger star to the right to balance out the piece with the big D.

This was framed in an 8x8 shadowbox and I know it is going to look fabulous in a kids room!

Gifts that Give Back

I have noticed that some shops are giving back to their communities this Christmas. So if you are looking for gifts that give back, here are some products for you!

We will start off with a collaboration Ornament that was designed by 2 shop owners. Cody of Lu & Ed and Danielle of Squshies designed this limited edition holiday ornament featuring Gabos, Lu & Ed's mascot. 50% of the sale price will be donated to Drumm Farm, a home for kids and young adults in the Missouri foster care system. http://drummforkids.org/

I love Gabos and think he would be a perfect addition to any Christmas tree! You can find him over at Lu & Ed's shop.

Next up is for the writers in your life. Little House of Crafting created this button to help support National Novel Writing Month.

 50% of sale price will go to support National Novel Writing Month (www.nanowrimo.org)!
You can find it at Little House of Crafting's shop.

Lastly Fairy Tale Accessories does a variety of donations to multiple organizations. So today I will show you one part of her Breast Cancer Awareness collection.

This Breast Cancer Angel Blessing Stretch Bangle is gorgeous. Proceeds go towards "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Fund" of American Cancer Society. You can find it here at Fairy Tales Accessories shop.

I love businesses that give back to their communities, and think we as consumers need to fully support them! Have you seen any other businesses giving back this year? If so, please leave a link in the comments!
