New Etsy Store Stocked with Lots of Ready To Ship Items

A few days ago I opened up my new Etsy store named Maggie Rose Bows to sell most of what I have in-stock. I have at least 100 items to list that are handmade and ready to mail out, so be sure to check out the shop for a last minute gift item!

Holiday 2009 Charity Benefit Tutu Set Giveaway

This is a year that many would soon love to forget. Even those who are normally able to give freely and cheerfully may find it more difficult this holiday season. That is why I hope to bring some extra holiday joy two a couple of little girls this Christmas.

I have been asked to be a part of a Holiday Craft Show, "A Few of My Favorite Things", in Ankeny, Iowa. Here's a link to the Facebook page for more info, http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=167255373176&index=1

There will be handmade items from local crafters and artisans featured at the show to benefit a local ministry, Ruth Harbor. I am very thankful that I have the opportunity to be a part of this event, and I hope that if you are in the area you may be able to stop out and shop a little. If you stop by my booth I will have a box for an entry to win a free tutu set.

On a personal note, I have a friend who faced an unplanned pregnancy during high school. Her parents chose tough love for her because she chose life for her child. My friend finished school, worked, and had several weeks of bedrest before giving birth to a healthy little girl and giving her daughter to her adoptive parents. What an amazing testimony of love! Thoe many years ago this ministry did not exist. What a blessing it is that Ruth Harbor is there for women who choose life for their children. Help is there during her pregnancy whether the woman chooses adoption or to keep her child.

The winner will receive a tutu and a bloomin flower headband or beanie, and the winner will also be able to choose to have a tutu and bloomin flower beanie set donated to Ruth Harbor or Blank Children's Hospital in their name.

Any orders placed in November will also be entered to win. Tutus and blooming flower headbands and beanies are perfect gifts for baby showers, birthdays, holidays, special occassion photos, and more.
