I’m not sure how the topic came up, but I saw her mention donations and the Susan G. Komen foundation. That was all I needed to hear. I butted into her conversation to inquire about how I might be able to help. A convo later and I’m proud to say I will be donating to her cause.

She is raising funds to participate in the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Walk in Seattle. If you are an artist and would like to donate a piece of artwork to their 3rd Annual Heart at Work Auction to be held at the beginning of August, please contact her at traci@bigforkbaycottonco.com.

I can’t always afford to donate money, but I have a surplus of items that I can part with. And as Traci (Sundancer) so beautifully  put it, “Why? Because everyone does deserve a lifetime.”

I heard about this via bead-space.com. I think we can all agree that it’s a great cause and I am all over it! I happen to have some assorted pink lampwork beads hanging around that I just didn’t know what to do with. I do now! (pink is not a prerequisite by the way, just thought it was fitting.)

The rules are simple, but you can read more about the guidelines here (pdf).

If you wish to participate, and I hope you do, simply download the participation form (pdf) and send in your donation. The deadline is November 23, 2008.
