I’m proud to be a little part of this wonderful effort by the handmade community to raise money for Haiti Earthquake Relief. Silent auction held by Jen over at IndieFixx is a very easy way to help out! You bid on the items (which change every day) in the comments and if you’re a winner, you pay through paypal and get the item in the mail without paying for shipping. 100% of the proceeds to go to the Red Cross International Response.
So, today is the day that my Knowledge Tree print with a 3D cutout is up for grabs, so I thought maybe you’d like to help out, at least by spreading the word!

Please, help me promote this worthy effort! Any and all emails, Twitts and “words of mouth” are greatly appreciated!

Also known as Volturi Ventures, a group of very creative and enterprising ladies united for a good cause – the “official charity of Twimoms” – Alex’s Lemonade Stand. They had a very successful New Moon screening event in NY last year and since I took a tiny part in it with a donation of my Twistuff from Etsy, I got a pretty cool Thank You card from them featuring the lovely picture with Peter and Kellan. Good job, girls and many happy returns!

Some are adorable artsy joint projects, such as
Yael Frank’s and friends’ We Are… artist collaboration coloring book series:

Some are for charity and other good causes, well, besides being cute and clever and cool…
