Great Response From Etsy Artisans!

I am overjoyed to report that (22) Etsy Artisans have responded and (6) have already contacted me with their plans. I can't begin to describe the relief I feel, knowing that these children will benefit from your kind support.

Introducing some talented women:

Kirsty from her shop of the same name, Kirsty, will be sewing skirts for the girls and also - great idea - will be making little drawstring bags for their toothbrushes. I NEVER would have thought of that! Your Good Dog Pincushion is adorable!

Cora of Coralea will also be contributing handcrafted skirts. Thanks Cora - your Fantastic Lunch Time Play Food Set is amazing!

Andrea of Quirky Bags has volunteered to be my first Featured Etsy Artisan - watch for her soon. She plans to sew a skirt and team it up with a new t-shirt. A great idea. She will also be helping out a little with the HTML and layout of the blog, so if you see anything strange, blame her, not me! Andrea, your Antique Postcards Carrying Tote is the most unique I have ever seen!

Antoinette of Princess Izzy has also volunteered to create hand-sewn skirts for the girls. I appreciate Antoinette's warm helpfulness and totally adore her Origami shrug.

Ann of Bags n Stuff By Ann will be providing two handcrafted skirts for the girls and - thanks to her husband - felt markers:) Ann's little pink fringed Faded Glory Jacket is so cute!

Iris of Warm 'N Fuzzy Fiber Arts is going to make skirts for the girls and possibly some little stuffed animals to tuck into the Christmas package - the children will love those! Iris lives quite close to me and has volunteered her precious "sit down" time to brainstorm new ideas with me to benefit Umbrella Child. Iris spins and dyes her own yarn - such amazing colors to her First Harvest yarn.

Hopefully I haven't missed anyone and I created these links correctly - I'm such a beginner at blogging. I look forward to hearing from the (16) other Artisans who have shown an interest and send you all my thanks and warmest regards.
