Paintings, T-shirts, pinatas, "I have a heart for Haiti" keepsakes, designer onsies and bibs, funky head bands, and much, much more. (see pictures below....)

Other activities:
Face painting for donations, Dance-A-Thon, and a silent auction (for the works of local professional artists).

The Beginning

This blog is baby fresh, but I have some things up my sleeve to unfold. I'm working on useing Save the Children to start a fundraiser for the victims of Haiti. I have the plan, but I need to propose it to my boss... I will keep everyone updated and let them know how they can help if they wish. I have already started a First Giving account for Save the Children, but they are having technical difficulties at the moment... I will have that LINK/Gidget posted here ASAP. It's posted on my other blog, The Penlot (as well as on FB under my "Fundraising" tab),but as I said before it's malfunctioning at the moment...

I'm hoping this will be my first, long overdue step into useing my creative gifts to help at least a little corner of the world.
