Thank you Brandy for the wonderful items! I really appreciate the time and thought that you put into these wonderful items, especially not knowing anything about me{which is the FUN part}.

Tis the Season of Giving...

I am absolutely dumbfounded that I didn't know about this.....

Did you know that each day 4500 moms just like me are worrying whether their children will live or die because of contaminated water. They have to walk miles and miles to get water for their children.

Do you want to cry?
{when you see this picture}
Do you want to win some cool prizes?
Do you want to help kids?

If you answered yes to those 3 questions, then you have a ♥
There are 6 women that I call "God's Angels" who are holding a "Virtual Raffle" to help get wells, and clean water for these children and their families. Over one-hundred women are donating items to help with the raffle, and you can help by buying a raffle ticket! If you would like to know more head on over to Project 320.   What does Project 320 mean- This is a quote they live by:

Now glory be to God! By His mighty power at work within us, He is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. 


Ephesians 3:20
