Fundraising Fridays #1

So I want to try something new. I run our little business Two Crafty Hearts. It's a business that my Mom and I started almost 20 years ago. And for the last 5 or 6 years, we've really expanded. We sell at local Craft Shows and Growers' Markets.

People always ask about the various colors of tags. So here's a quick run down. We have a pink that goes with the dog section of our business Love, Puppy Momma. I make various dog items. We have an orange tag, that goes with a foundation we started for my Mom when she got sick in 2016. It's to help pay her medical bills.

We have a yellow tag, were sales go directly into our scholarship fund for Love for Blue. Those sales are used just for scholarships for ABQ Youth. Our green tag, that's the one that is for our business. The one that pays the bills. 

The last two, are our biggest sellers. The blue tag benefits the Love for Blue Foundation. We use money from this fund for scholarships, for sponsorships, to help Cancer families, for fundraisers, and once a year we make a donation in my Dad's name. To cancer research. He's the reason we started all of this. And unfortunately, we lost him to Colon Cancer in 2015.

Lastly, our purple tags go to support this place. Our Love Caregivers section. We use this money to send notes, cards, or small gifts to caregivers. We try and host a meal every 3 months or so...at our local hospital. For caregivers. And we try and help, when we can, with some of the expenses for local caregivers. Like meals while their loved one is in the hospital, a tank of gas, or on occasion...a hotel room.

All of this takes a lot of money. And time. When we are not actively selling at the Growers' Markets...money gets really tight. And our work greatly slows down. So I thought, why not showcase some of the items to benefit Love Caregivers.

So I'm going to be honest here. I've been on the Yoda bandwagon. And not much else is being made. But I still need to create some items for this space. I made about 10 of these little bags. They hold little ponies, unicorns, and pegasus.

I've made these bags for years. But for boys. With cars, bugs, and toy soldiers. And the other day, I thought why not make some for the girls? These bags actually came out of a convo with some kids. They were looking for little bags to stash their "treasures."

If you are interested, please leave me a comment. Or send me an email. I'll continue to post my "purple" creations weekly. And if you are interested in purchasing products that directly go to this cause...look for the purple tags when you see us out and about! 💜
