A Labor of Love

I've been bopping about, as I am wont to do...

You know, doing some research, checking out this and that, peeking at the entries to the Stretch Your Holiday Style Challenges, looking here, delighting there...

Because that's what I do. :)

When I came across an amazing project by one of our moxie fab friends, travelingmama.

She comments nearly every day (if not every single day) and is one of our challenge winners.

It's not that kind of project, though I must say that she's got plenty of that kind of project for you to drool over on her blog.

No, this project is very special.

It's all about raising money for a school nearby her home in Morocco, for kids like these:

She's set up an Etsy shop full of handmade items like these:

Afternoon Tea Fine Art Post Card Set

Trick or Treat Handmade Card

Gifts of Flowers Post Card Set

Happy Birthday Hand-drawn Card

...in which 100% of the profits between now and October 18 will go directly to the school.

Now I don't know about you, but this just makes me think that it really is a moxie fab world.

Click here to hear her story, join me in supporting her cause...and then tell everyone you know.

Inspired by travelingmama,

~Cath

Impressive! I love when people just go and DO IT! It's inspirational. I have a friend who wrote a book and is waiting for publication. He wrote about life in Africa and is hoping to get support for his ideas on how to help those folks. Gotta love that commitment!
