it's pimping but for good, not evil
Crafters United is an Etsy shop with a goal of raising $5,000 for the American Red Cross's hurricane relief fund. All the items are donated by caring crafters and the idea behind it is so nice it makes me want to make out with the crafty world.
The original goal, $1,000, was surpassed the first day, and it's not even the end of the second day and they've already raised over $2,000. And again: all proceeds from Crafters United's sales are being donated to the Red Cross. Awesome, yes? Yes.
I can't post pics from this computer, but this checkbook cover from Yatta is my favorite thing yet (I've only seen half of the shop so far, though). Why does this have to be the month I don't have any money? Aargh. So I can't afford to buy anything this week, but I figured spreading the word is at least something, right?
Sometimes I love this craft community I've stumbled in on more than I thought possible.
