* Etsy Angels support the American Heart Association during the month of May. *
*Coronary heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the U.S.
*Heart disease is the #1 killer of women in the U.S.
*Every 34 seconds a woman dies from heart disease
*Women are 4 to 6 times more likely to die from heart disease than breast cancer.
During a month in which we celebrate Mothers, the statistics regarding women are even more important.
The American Heart Association is a national voluntary health agency to help reduce disability and death from cardiovascular diseases and stroke. They support research and educational programs that best benefit the general public. We hope that you will take the time to visit the American Heart Association website to learn more about the risk factors and symptoms of heart attack, which vary somewhat for women. It could save your life or the life of someone you love.

You can also read about one angel's personal experiences with heart disease on the Etsy Angel Blog - http://etsyangelsteam.blogspot.com/
During the month of May the Etsy Angels team will be helping to raise money for the American Heart Association. You can help in three ways either by donating proceeds or a portion of the from sales you make as an Etsy shop owner, by making purchases from the participating shops or by making a monetary contribution directly through the American Heart Association website - https://donate.americanheart.org/ecommerce/aha/aha_index.jsp Please remember that even small donations when combined with others can make a difference.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Etsy Angels are a Self-Representing Team of Artisans that create a variety of unique handmade items including Artisan Jewelry, Lampwork Glass and Polymer Clay Beads, Bath and Body Products, Quilts, Knits and Plush, and Paper Products to name a few.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our Team was formed after the many hours spent together promoting for Dawn’s Boys; an effort that began in late December 2007 after a Jewelry artist who was on both Etsy and Ebay lost her life in an automobile accident. She left behind two little boys. Several "Angels" came together to help. After spending countless hours promoting donations from more people than we could imagine that wanted to help, many friendships were made. We couldn’t imagine it all ending without creating a Team for Dawn’s Angels. ?

Good morning, everyone :) Just got up- I was up half the night... Driveway alarm kept going off at 3am. I flipped on the porch light and behold.... at least a dozen deer right in front of my big window. I couldn't help but watch them for awhile- LOL.
Yesterday, went to see gma. She's not doing well and now on 24 hr watch. She has heart disease, so this month's fundraiser for the American Heart Association kindof hits home for us.
Well, I better get ready for the day- will be back shortly!
*hugs*
