I wanted to let you know about a really cool charity movement that Scrapbooks etc. magazine has just launched, called Craft It Forward. Use your crafting super powers to make a difference in YOUR community. A handmade card or fun banner can really help bring encouragement and support to people need it.
Here’s how it works: throughout 2011, visit the Craft It Forward website each month for a new downloadable pattern and suggested charity recipients. Make the project and donate it to a charity that is near and dear to your heart. Then, upload your creation to the Craft It Forward gallery for a chance to win $500 in cash and a $500 donation to a charity! Word is they’ll be looking for stories to feature in the magazine and on the website, too.
So join me and Craft It Forward throughout 2011. This month, I plan to make cards and donate them to Operation Write Home, a charity that sends mailable cards to troops stationed overseas.
