Lilian Grace Bags

Today, as I was selfishly thinking of ways I could increase my bag sales (which so far are ZERO) I came up with the idea of giving part of my proceeds to some charities that I would like to support. I decided on two charities that I hold close to my heart the first being the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Being a woman, I think that this one is a very important charity to contribute to and I found out that there is a fun way for people to donate called "Passionately Pink for the Cure". I will be making an assortment of pink reusable shopping bags & purses. I will choose a day, invite friends and family members, and we will have a PINK party to help fight breast cancer. I will have my bags up for sale that day, if you chose to you may purchase one and 10% of the proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. If you can not make the party, I will also have bags for sale online for one month that will also contribute to the donation. I think I will also have a giant penny jar at our party so that anyone who doesn't want to purchase a bag can put their loose change in the jar and contribute what they can. You may check out the website at www.passionatelypink.org

The other charity that I feel strongly about is the March of Dimes. This charity is involved in finding a way to prevent premature births and promote healthy pregnancies. I myself was born 3 months premature and also had one child who was premature. As of now there is no real way to determine whether or not a child will be born premature, just ways that are thought to  help prevent it. For this event I will be making baby quilts as well as the handbags and shopping bags, all will be sold online for one month and 10% of the proceeds will be donated to the March of Dimes charity. You may visit their website at www.marchofdimes.com.

I think that's it for now. Thanks for your support and encouragement!
