Australian Bushfires and what you can do to help


Handmade Help


Last summer a huge part of the Midwest was devastated by horrible flooding. My hometown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa is still working to rebuild, it's going to take a really long time. Seeing the images from the fires in Australia right now made me think of the flooding again, and made me wonder what I could do to help.

I came across a great website accepting donations from crafters and artists with all proceeds going the Victorian Bushfire Appeal. I donated an item from my etsy shop and I'm sure they'd gladly accept more items.

Please check out the link below and if you are so compelled, buy something, donate something...help if you can.
