Welcome and Come On In...

As Artists we have a need to give back to our communities by raising funds for different charities and organizations. You might even decide to adopt a school or classroom like my family is doing. We have adopted the Autism Class at Walnut Hill Elementary School (my elementary school). Our school district does not supply the classroom with all the things they need to make sure these special kids have a great school day. We decided to lend them a hand. We have purchased washable pillows for each child to sit on and my mom Sandi of Always Crafty 2 and Shweet Potato Dolls N Patterns is making soft, bright washable pillowcases for each pillow.

What can you do? Give back where you are. Here on this blog we will be linking to auctions for causes like Breast,Skin and Ovarian Cancers, Lupus, Autism, Dyslexia just to name a few. We hope to share uplifting postive stories and ways that you can give back in your special way.

If you would like to join us email Kassy at shweetcreations4cures@gmail.com . We'd love for you to follow our blog and tell others about us.

Have a Shweet Day!

Let's Help this family

You know one thing I have learned from my mom that I will take with me the rest of my life is that we need to take care of each other. One of my mom's friends told us about Devon Shaw. This 15 yr old teenager who has cancer. You can read more about Devon Here.

Mom's friend is donating a % of everything she sells the next couple weeks to this family to help with their travel expenses when they go to another city for surgery.
I want to share with you her link to her blog so you can look and see if you like to make a purchase from her store ( which is a great shoppe) or simply donate (which I will be doing tomorrow).

Here is Becky's Blog called CK BLOG  Please give it a read and help this family out.
Her shoppes are Country Keepsakes
and Homestead Register
