Taking a Break for the Holidays

I wanted to let all my fellow bloging friends know that I am taking a wee little break until after Christmas.  I will be updating my blog the last week of December and adding some new and fun events.  And don't forget to grab your favorite glass of sparkling champaign and check back on December 31st for the SOTM Blog Hop and get ready for some new and exciting projects, clubs, workshops and more in the new year.  Happy Holiday!

Operation Smile Auction

Did you know it only costs $240 to help a child?   Operation smile’s volunteer medical professionals travel around the world to treat children suffering from facial deformities.  Their efforts mean new smiles for thousands of children.  Operation Smile® volunteers also build public and private partnerships that advocate for sustainable healthcare systems for children and families.  You can learn more about Operation Smile on their website at operationsmile.org.   As a Supervisor for Close To My Heart my goal is to help one child at a time.  Close To My Heart donates a portion of all stamp sales to Operation Smile.   So between buying My Acrylix® stamp sets and rounding up, we all can make a difference!
