Auction For Girl Rising and #BringBackOurGirls

-

Hello everyone.  There is an amazing auction going on - RIGHT NOW - HERE - to raise funds for GirlRising, which is a global campaign for girls' education.  Girl Rising unites girls, women, boys and men who believe every girl has the right to go to school and the right to reach her full potential.

The auction runs through May 17, 2014 and currently has 54 items up for bid.  All the proceeds raised are being donated directly to Girl Rising. All of the works AND the shipping costs have been donated by some of the most amazing artists around, many of which I know for years.  Many are also part of my family at StencilGirl, either on the Creative Team or as designers of the stencils I use in my own art, and include - 


Marjie Kemper   http://www.marjiekemper.com
France Papillon   http://www.france-papillon.com
Sally Lynn MacDonald   http://www.SallyLynnMacDonald.com
Marybeth Shaw   http://mbshaw.blogspot.com/
Jill Meyer www.jillmeyer.com
And this is just a small part of the list.  I hope you can check out the auction.  The prices are beyond reasonable!!  You can also make a donation, if you want.  They were hoping to raise $1,000 but have already doubled that amount and the amount of money raised continues to grow.   
Please share this on all of your social media platforms and get the word out!! 
Hugs and much thanks!!

**Blog Candy Update!!  -  I have a few more items to my Blog Candy -  A 6x6 StencilGirl Stencil called  Bird In Window by Pam Carriker, a box of Brasilian chocolates, a Brasilian Scrapbooking magazine called Guia do Scrapbooking, which means Guide to Scrapbooking.  It's in portuguese but you can get great ideas with the pictures and layouts they give.   And I have added a 6" x 6" Gelli Arts Gel Printing Plate!!!  --------------------------------------------- Hello everyone!  My first Blog Candy post!!  Long story short - in November, when StencilGirl had their big Black Friday sale, I placed an order.  Due to a glitch in their system (but in our favor) the same order was shipped to me - twice.  Since I did not pay for one of the orders, I emailed John at StencilGirl and he told me to keep them and offer them up as blog candy at a later date.  Hence....this BLOG CANDY post!!  All you have to do i...

When I was first approached to be part of the StencilGirl/Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog hop, I just laughed out loud!  Me?  A craft hoarder?  Duh!  Not only have I been hoarding craft supplies for over 20 years but when I moved here to Brasil from New York City, I took it all with me.  And then I started to hoard Brasilian craft supplies. Okay, I admit it - I AM A CRAFT HOARDER!     For this blog hop, the artists had only two rules - use StencilGirl stencils and then to dig through our craft hoard and use whatever we wanted to use.  I grabbed stencils (duh) sprays, pastes, paints, makeup sponges, lots and lots of BLING, you name it.  Heck, I even grabbed my bag of keyboard letters and some fake eyelashes that were in the hoard.  Told ya, I am a craft hoarder. There is something very freeing about just using stuff from my hoard and making a piece of art.  I did not do much thinking here.  I did know what st...
