Cool.

I am so excited to be a part of this.

Karen Russell is heading up the COOLEST fundraiser. It’s for Women for Women International. It’s a charity that helps women in war-torn and impoverished countries get on their feet. I was watching a television program recently that was showing how when women get money and education, it helps their family. For generations. Way more than when a man gets money or education, even. I thought that was so fascinating. So imagine my delight when I found out I could be a teeny tiny part of helping women who really need it.

So Karen is taking donations for the charity and got a bunch of people involved. Every dollar spent is like a raffle ticket for prizes. She has more than 70 AWESOME designers willing to scrap pictures for winners as well as prize packages donated by manufacturers. I know I’d love to get a custom page from a favorite scrapper. :) Go check out her blog for details and let’s give power to the women! :)

  2. Hi Shannon!
    I was at Loni’s site and I thought, “I recognize that photo!” It linked over to your site, and it turns out that Terri at Picture Passion had just emailed me your photo and info to do a flyer and add to the store’s newsletter for your photog. class! Small world! :)
    Just wanted to say hi and to tell you I hope I’ll be able to attend the PP class later in May.
