Fundraiser! Help me, help THEM! :)

Okay sweet friends! It's time! Remember last week when I mentioned I would LOVE LOVE LOVE your help with a special project?? Well now is the time!

So as you know last week, I mentioned a snippet about a wonderful group of kids that I have come to know and LOVE personally. They are the 3rd Ward Young Men & Young Womens Youth group! Over the last 2 years I have had the opportunity to get to know these kids and I honestly just am so proud of each of them, who they are and what they are striving to become. They have awesome values, good manners and just really loving kids!

Every year these kids have an opportunity to go summer camps, where they learn life skills that help them grow physcically, mentally and spiritually.

They have awesome bonding experiences with other youth, as well as youth leaders that TRULY shape them into wonderful adults. I know because when I was their age, I had the opportunity to attend a few of these camps, and they did WONDERS for who I am today. I have also had the opprotuniy in the last 10 years, to go as a volunteer to these camps as a leader and wow. Can I just say, the spirit and feeling that is there for these youth. I am always blown away.

So where do you come in?

Well each year these camps cost money, and unfortunatley most of these kids aren't old enough to have jobs. Those that are, often times have a hard time finding a job because we live in such a small town. We also live in a small rural farming community and it's tough to put that cost on the shoulders of their parents (specially when most parents have multiple kids wanting to attend the camps).
So each year they hold different community fundraisers in hopes of helping to pay some of their way to the camps.

Well this year I just thought to myself,.. you know what? I Know of an AWESOME community who has a HUGE heart and would TOTALLy help out with something like this! I have had the pleasure of knowing most of YOU in my class, from facebook and as I have traveled and you are just TRULY amazing awesome people!  I thought it would be awesome if I could expand our "little' community for this year to my "internet" family.. to help in our efforts!

So here is how it works!

I have put together two awesome kits for purchase.
One kit is  fun just grab bag kit full of awesome mixed media goodies that you can use in mixed media, art journaling or papercrafting projects! They are all different and have fun stuff you can use! They will have a mix of stamps, rubons, papers, stickers, embellishments.. etc!

These will be offered for $19.95 with a value of over $30.00 each!  If you buy multiple kits we will be sure to try and include different kits.

The second kit I am offering is a Favorites kits!

As many of you know I LOVE using rubons, stamps, and stencils in my projects. Well I have put together a fun little kit of some of my new and old favorite products!

 

This kit includes a set of rubons ( I LOVE using these rubons for details in my girls hairs, on houses, etc.) It also includes an all over heart die-cut sheet that I use as a fun stencil, and a pack of die-cut card sheets that I also love to use as stencils! Plus it includes Mr. Huey SHine Spray, which is a clear gloss shine that when used with stencils on darker surfaces, make this awesome embossed effect! AND of course.. my favorite of favorites.. The Clearsnap Roller stamps! These are two of my VERY favorite stamps! The Roller Dot and the WordWords! I use them ALL the time in my project, and if you are taking any of my classes you know what I mean! We haven't had these in our store for over a year, so I was able to get them in just for this kit! These kits are SUPER limited.. so don't wait on these. They retail for $30.00 and we are selling them for $24.95

ALL of the profits from these two kits will go to the youth! They will also be helping me kit, pack and ship these to you as well! So they will be FULL of love when they arrive! :)

ALSO i have had people faceobook and email me since I announced this last week, about just donating cash. the answer is AWESOME! Yes!!! So you will also be able to just donate cash increments of $10.00 as well, if you want and 100% of the money will go to the youth!

 

AND NOTE: many of you have discount codes for our store because you are taking online classes from me. PLEASE PLEASE condider NOT using those discount codes, as if you do, then the youth don't get the full profit amount. As it takes it off that amount. SO please don't use them  at check out :)

So that's it! SO  can you help me? Spread the word?? I know you guys can and will help do amazing things!

you can purchase the kits Or donate cash on my Scarlet Lime Mixed MEdia store site!

Didn't see this post til today, Saturday. At least I was able to get the grab bag and help out. What a wonderful way to help kids. Camp is so much fun. Speaking from experience!

God Bless you my friend, we've never met, but I love you already! I'm going shopping.....:)

ahh dang, I missed both kits and was super wanting the favorites kit especially. I've server in YW's for 4 years and now am in activity days :) love those girls so much... also served in girls camp for 5. I can't think of a calling I loved more and how much I loved them and still do. You're awesome for offering this to them & I'd love to see these kits back in the store (hint hint, even at the full price)
thanks for all you do and your inspiration

Article is interesting, but i wonder where i can find good company for pre settlement funding, any ideas?

[Kate P.]

What a wonderful way to include us in your mission. Bless those amazing kids. I too got there too late to get the favorites kit, so I just bought 3 grab bags since they are all different and I love surprise packages of art supplies! I love you, Christy and all that you share with us. You are an art angel.
