Angel Tree and Christmas Shopping

It is that time of year again, the temperature is getting cold, the snow has started to fall, stores are playing Christmas music, I don't know about you, but I'm ready to do some Christmas shopping (or Holiday shopping if you prefer).  I have chosen to do my best to help others while I do this shopping.  Knowing what I know about the care that orphans often receive in orphanages and institutions and seeing the progress they make once in loving families, I have chosen to help them.

This year, my friend Natalie is helping to host an online Virtual Craft Fair.  This online event will benefit several causes. 50% of the profit of each purchase will go to help buy ipads for the Speech Pathologists at Elim Christian Services and to help two little girls with special needs find their forever families through Reece's Rainbow.  In addition to these causes several of the vendors will use the remaining profits to benefit other children or causes.  I have  Celebrating Home and Origami Owl parties set up through this even and will be donating 50% of my commissions to my Angel Tree Child Annalise.  Visit the Virtual Craft Fairs Blog to learn more. 

It is easy to shop, here are some simple instructions from the Virtual Craft Fairs Blog:

*You can shop any time between November 16th and December 6th.

*Just go to this blog post and see who the vendors are.

*Click on the link that says Website Page and shop away.

*Make sure to look and see if there are any special instructions listed so we get credit for your order.

*That's it!! 
Make sure you join the FaceBook event.  Vendors will be featuring sales, special items, and special offers on that page. We will also be featuring a vendor daily and sharing their story.

Please share this blog and the Facebook event with your friends and family. Everyone is Christmas shopping. Why not help someone else with your purchase? 

Please consider doing your Christmas shopping with others in mind this year.
