Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday. Every Friday (well, ok, almost every Friday) I ask a simple question for you to answer--nothing that requires a lengthy response.
Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores is sponsoring a contest encouraging people to make useful crafts and donate them to charity. Unfortunately you have to use products from Jo-Ann's and I don't have one near me, but I love the idea. So, IF you were to enter what would you make and what charity would you give it to? And, have you ever made something to help a charity before?
PS: If you want to enter and need ideas, or just like the idea of doing crafts for charity, Deb's Crafts has a list of charities who are accepting hand-sewn or needlecrafted items. Don't knit or sew or anything like that? You can donate crafts to be sold to help the Gulf Coast clean-up or to help the victims of the Flood in Pakistan (if your in Europe).
If you have a blog and would like to post your own question you can leave your link at An Island Life.

What a neat idea! I have no clue what I would make - usually my creativity shows up when I'm browsing stores like Jo-Ann's for ideas. ;) I might have to make the drive out there to see what inspires me! :)

I would make quilts or baby quilts for sick children/infants.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm so not crafty so I have no idea what I'd make. I'd google ideas for myself and make something from a tutorial.
