Help the Gulf Coast & Shop at the Same Time

I know so many of us have been wondering what we can do to help out with the Gulf Coast oil spill. Well, if you love to shop and love to do good deeds, then I have the shop for you. Etsians are always quick to create a shop whenever there is a need and as usual they have not disappointed.

This is a collective Etsy shop to help the gulf coast recover from the massive BP oil spill. Etsy sellers have donated their items so that 100% of the proceeds can be given to charity.

100% of the proceeds (after Etsy & Paypal fees) will be donated to charities helping with the Gulf Coast recovery effort.

Here are just a few of the more than 300 items available in this shop

Make sure to stop by this shop and check out all of the items they have and shop for a good cause.

Our Little Visitor

 While we were up in Raleigh visiting family this past weekend, we picked up Scout. Scout is my niece Morgan’s puppy. We will be looking after the sweet Mr. Scout until his mommy gets better.

Some of you may already know that Morgan was recently diagnosed with stage four colon cancer at the young age of 22. To say that Morgan is a great girl is a huge understatement!  Even though she is over ten years younger than I am, I have always admired and looked up to her. Last year she graduated cum laude and started graduate school shortly after. She has an amazing group of friends and a family that loves and adores her.

Morgan’s favorite color is purple so I made a collar in her honor with the proceeds going to

The American Cancer Society

We have already raised $130.00

The Morgan Collar

These two are the best of friends already.
