Shop for a good cause........

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  I've come across several wonderful Etsy shops who are donating all or a portion of their proceeds to cancer foundations and/or cancer survivors (to help with medical expenses).  Here are a few of the goodies they are offering...please click on the pictures below to see more information on the items and the shops they are in.  For a listing of more online shops that are currently donating their proceeds to cancer foundations, you can go to www.etsy.com or www.zibbet.com and enter the search terms "cancer donate".

Vintage Paper Ephemera.....Great For Crafts and Scrapbooking!

I love scouring thrift shops, flea markets, garage sales, auctions, etc. for old magazines, books and sheet music.    Vintage paper ephemera can add a wonderful nostalgic touch to scrapbook layouts.  Here are some of the items I've created recently from some old sheet music, a vintage French novel, and a vintage atlas.

I plan on using the flowers I created from the French novel and the butterflies on the bottom in a heritage scrapbook I am currently making (featuring members of my hubby's family).  It's been so much fun looking through the old photos and planning layouts!  I've also listed all of these embellishments in my Zibbet store.....all for $1.90 or under!!!!

Have a wonderful day everyone!!
