Valentine's Fundraising Fun!

Yeah! 
We raised $370 for Pleasanton Military Families' care package program last month...that's enough to fill and mail 8 boxes. The weather was pretty chilly but it still felt good to be out with my cards, flowers and jewelry as a way to let 
people know about PMF and raise some funds.





At one of the homecomings last year, PMF members asked me if I was interested in making jewelry. Yes, I was! Well they had a bunch of beads and supplies they weren't using anymore do they gave them to me to see what I could come up with. I'm hooked! I thought it would be fun to sell them to raise money for PMF. Dirk Christiansen from Studio Seven Arts let me set up shop outside his store.


I love this necklace...those are crepe paper flowers I made a while ago.

Every piece of jewelry had a heart in it. I got this idea from one of the ladies who stopped by our booth at First Wednesday last year. She said she wished she had a bracelet to remember a military member so she could pray for him/her and keep them in her heart all the time, not just once a year.



That's the "be mine" bracelet in the center.
