Angels to help the Preeclampsia Foundation


You have probably seen the gorgeous angels in Melissa Muir's Etsy shop KCJewelbox, but you might not know that they are made in loving memory of her daughter Kelsi, who was born extremely premature at 24 weeks old due to preeclampsia, weighing only 13 oz. Kelsi only lived for a few days, but her memory lives on and has helped spread awareness of the dangerous pregnancy disorder preeclampsia.

From December 1st 2007 through January 1st, 2008, Melissa will be donating 50% of the price of all the angel jewelry sold in her shop to the Preeclampsia Foundation.

Each angel is handmade and Kelsi's Closet Jewelbox has many designs to choose from, most can be customized to include birthstones or angel stones. The angels may be worn as pendants or an optional pin back can be added for wearing as a brooch. Some angels may also be used as small ornaments.

To ensure delivery by Christmas, please place orders by December 11, 2007. Prices range from $20 to $75.

Fire-Cider Clevey Party, Saturday December 8th


The first annual Fire-Cider Clevey Party will be at Smashing's house in beautiful Fairview Park
at 8pm Saturday, December 8th.

There will be a fire, some cider, other refreshments, a story telling contest and a Cookie Swap. (there is also a rumor of Valerie Tyler door prize earrings, YUM!)

Limited accomodations are available for anyone too "tired" to drive home (as long as you don't mind bunking in a play room on a temporary bed) :)

How to participate in the Cookie Swap (not mandatory, but definitely fun!) per LazyMama:

"Bake one batch of your favorite holiday cookie or homemade candy. Bring them to the party, along with a separate container large enough to fit a couple dozen extra cookies. At the party we'll put everyone's treats out, and as we leave, everyone takes a few of each kind of cookie. That way we all have a selection of treats to share with guests (or to eat ourselves) and we only had to bake one batch of cookies."

If you'd like to go, please comment here and I will email the directions to you before the party. Dudes are welcome to come, too, just let me know how many will be in your party. Hope to see you there! (oh, and please dress warmly! I'm not kidding about staying outside by the fire, hee hee) :)

Let's get to know her a little better. Read the interview here (she's cool *and* funny)

Oh! and for the month of November she is offering 50% off shipping for your first item and free shipping for two or more items, just in case you have anything you might need to put in a cute handmade craft carrier... :)
