As much as we love creating Pink Ribbon items and have passion for fundraising for it, we both got really busy with other things this year. Neither of us could devote time to new products, and all of the back end things that go into making a website successful.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;">I will continue to offer our patterns and a select few items on my website: </span><a href="http://www.homespunfromtheheart.com/"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;">www.HomespunFromTheHeart.com</span></a><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;"> From time to time, you will find special Pink Ribbon dolls there too.

I hope that in the near future, I will get caught up enough to list a few one of a kind dolls there. I'll be sure to post when we do!<br /><br />If you are new to Etsy, it is a handmade marketplace. I love it! All kinds of very creative artists and you can leave feedback for your purchases. It's a great way to find one of a kind items.Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09794078134951772882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-64217769406165553.post-68046225038218180702010-08-27T04:14:00.000-07:002010-08-27T04:20:52.142-07:00In loving memoryWe got the news this week that a fellow crafter and Prim Mart sister, Kat passed away from breast cancer. It was a long road for her with chemo treatments and being sick, things just went downhill so quickly. <br /><br />All week, my Prim Mart sisters have been emailing about our loss - we all spent a couple of weekends together at convention. We shared happy, smiling memories - which quickly turned to tears. Kat and her mom came to convention together and we are so sad for Maggie who has lost a child. We are sad for Kat's husband, children, grandchildren, her extended family and all of her Prim Mart sisters who are missing her so much. <br /><br />Cancer is so ugly, it sneaks up and steals life so quickly. I continue to pray that we will find a cure.<br /><br />We have decided to donate the 10% we've raised so far to Kat's family. We will continue to fundraise for other charitable organizations but at this time, doing this just feels right to both of us.Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09794078134951772882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-64217769406165553.post-78722861646360443452010-08-25T04:53:00.002-07:002010-08-25T04:54:45.215-07:00It's been a while since we bloggedBoth of us have been preoccupied and working hard for a big craft show weekend August 14th.
