Bio

We are three artists who love crafts and supporting causes! Our team consists of Jessica, Chris (Jessica's husband), and Debbie (Jessica's mom), so this is a family effort. :) We hope to be able to help support charities while supporting the Etsy community, and are active members in the following Etsy groups:

Omaha Etsy Street Team

Our chosen charities are as follows:
1) Nebraska Humane Society
To find an adorable pet of your own or to find out more information about the Nebraska Humane Society, you may visit their website:

http://www.nehumanesociety.org/

98% of the pets that we have owned throughout the years have come from local Humane Societies. We appreciate their efforts in saving homeless pets and/or pets abused in prior living situations, as well as finding house pets new homes when needed. As Bob Barker would say, "Help control the pet population - have your pet spayed or neutered."

2) Cellphones for Soldiers
Cellphones for Soldiers is a charity that provides our soldiers the chance to call home and stay connected with their families.

You can find out more by visiting their webpage:

This charity has a very important place in our hearts personally. One of our artists, my husband, was an active duty soldier in the United States Army. Whenever he got sent overseas (which happened frequently in his line of work), the only way I ever got to hear from him is when he would receive a phone card from a group such as this. Plus, every time he would finally arrive back in the states (usually in New York) there was almost always someone waiting in the airport with phone cards and/or cellphones for all the troops so he could always let me know that he had arrived home safely. This is one of the most beautiful gifts you can receive when you are a soldier or a soldier's family member!

3) Susan G Komen for the Cure Foundation
This foundation is dedicated to providing research and financial assistance to anyone affected by breast cancer. To learn more about this charity, please visit their website at:

4) The National Multiple Sclerosis Society
With their help and research, they are saving lives and hope to find a cure for MS, a crippling neurological disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. To learn more about this charity, please visit:

www.nationalmssociety.org

My father was diagnosed with MS back in 1999. Through their help and support, we have not only been able to learn more about the crippling neurological disorder, but have also received financial assistance to cover the costs of his many medications and treatments. This is our way of helping to pay them back.
