I love your style and would like to learn more about it. I would love to blog about some earrings I create with your tutorial.<br /><br />baymoondesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176264557341209150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-83500753234289862312012-11-05T22:19:53.632-05:002012-11-05T22:19:53.632-05:00Oh and my business is part of a 501(c)(3) so peopl...Oh and my business is part of a 501(c)(3) so people could donate beads to be used to make jewelry for any of the causes I mentioned. I don't know of any other specific organizations that are looking for beads or jewelry but most charities do silent auctions and accept jewelry.

I'm also raising money to buy kids shoes in 3rd world countries for Christmas. I have a fundraiser going until Christmas to help hurricane sandy victims. Oh and I am working with another artist, Marian Heintz, who was featured on Love My Art Jewelry to raise money to help give women in Haiti job training. I wish I could say I've raised millions for these organizations but I'm not there, yet! Every bit helps especially when as little as $5 can save a child from starving to death.

I was so touched by the faces that flickered across my TV screen each night and impressed by the work Doctors Without Borders was doing in that area, that I found my reason to continue beading - I donate all my profits to the continuing work of Doctors Without Borders in areas of crisis.Karin Slatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948121235539250143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-35874741413018860772012-11-03T13:38:52.251-04:002012-11-03T13:38:52.251-04:00Love the designs, Erin!

It is stunning and continues to inspire me always. As for your question, I try to donate as much as I can. Both my jewelry as well as clothing, and at the moment given hurricane Sandy the later will be in order for me around my little corner of the world.<br /><br />I love the hops that are organized around charities, and I've participated in the 7000 bracelets for hope, which is how I met the wonderful and lovely Christine at One Kiss Creations. I've also made bracelets for cancer research with a friend in Israel who makes buttons and donates 50% of her proceeds. But I've also got a friend who is in stage 4 breast cancer and been fighting it for about 3 years now. She is in her early 30s with young kids. Breaks my heart, but she is so strong and positive! She amazes me. I will be sending her jewelry to sell to help pay for the many, many bills stacking up. While it absolutely makes sense to donate to organizations, I also believe in helping the ones you know.<br /><br />I've got a donation 'ticker' on my site and I'm still a little shy of my goal. I'll need to update it this month to see if I've met it!<br /><br />thank you for donating your amazing jewelry - it will surely bring a smile to those that receive them!

I just went through surgery for cancer last summer and I was so lucky not to have to have chemo or radiation but I think it would be great to get a handmade gift of beautiful earrings if i had. I give 10% of my sales to my local Humane Society and I try to give to the ASPCA whenever possible. During our last American Cancer Society Relay for Life I gave several pieces of my jewelry to one of the vendors to sell and raise some additional money.<br />Thanks,<br />Cory<br />TealwaterDesignsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611728426878440391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-83021001229034177332012-11-03T10:27:58.619-04:002012-11-03T10:27:58.619-04:00These are absolutely beautiful!
