Financial hardship is always scary. My dear friends, the Davis family are facing hard times. After losing their house in our small hometown of Mena back in April 2009, they have had a tough time of it. Currently, their home is in foreclosure and they aren't concerned about that... we hope to raise enough money to pay the car note so it doesn't get repossessed. My friends...they are strong with their faith in the lord but you and I both know the Lord helps those who help themselves... Brainstorming to come up with ways to raise money to make a car note, we came up with an art-for-donations plan. You will be helping the Davis Family: Rachel (my bestie); David, her husband; Megan (my god child); and Mitchell. Rachel, a stay at home mom who does work at home and they are 11 year homeschool veterans. David does sales and construction but recently lost his job.

Please help if you can! We will exchange your donation of $9 or more with a shopping bag and/or other item.

Please read my blog entries below for more information on handcrafted items available from myself, Megan or Rachel.

I feel better about art-for-donations

So this whole endeavor is a work in progress. I threw it together quickly and as I work through it, I'm making changes. Like I just changed it to an exchange so that if you donate, you'll get something. Trying to work out all those details (in my SPARE time as if there is such a thing nowadays) has been challenging... I don't want to sell things on a site that charges money for auctions so I hope to be able to facilitate it from here.

I don't want anyone to think we are not industrious, because by golly, we are. I hope that you will follow my blog as I post things that will be available for exchange for donations. I've got some watercolors, prints, drawings...  Rachel will be sewing other items and Megan is going to be making some new jewelery offerings when I mail her my bead collection that is sitting unused. We hope to have some earrings available for smaller donation amounts if the $9 or $10 offerings I currently have on the blog are too much for you to consider.

I am also very aware that these are hard times for everyone. I'm doing the only thing I know to do.

At least this way, it's not you giving something for nothing.  Man. It's been a really long week. I feel blessed and hope that this works out for my best friend's family.
