Alabama Tornado Relief Fundraiser

I don't have unlimited funds (I don't think many of us do). The need is great here in Alabama, and will be in the months to come. Rebuilding and re-creating communities that have been demolished by the violent tornadoes that came through our state on April 27th. I want to be able to give to others... to help. I know you do too.

Let's partner together. I can be hands and feet for you, to go buy needed items and to help out families devastated by their losses.

Noel (who, might I add, is a seriously amazing and giving friend and whose generosity has me a little teary eyed!), has donated many items to me to sell for fundraiser. On top of that, I've created a few pieces of mixed media canvasses... and my kids have too. All of the proceeds today will go directly to help out families that have been affected by the tornadoes.

Here's how it works: I'll name each item below. Email me at 2blackflipflops at gmail dot com with whichever item(s) you want and how much you want to donate. You can pay via paypal- I will invoice you + shipping. The choice is yours on how much you can donate. I put the estimated prices on some but that is just for you to consider.

Please feel free to leave me a comment with any questions!

I will keep updating this post when items become unavailable. :)

I want to be able to keep y'all posted on where the money gets used. My plan for it is to be used in three ways; for women, for children, and for just general donations somewhere most needed. The needs here change every day, so I will let you know specifics once it's used.

Thank you guys. Thank you so much. You will be an incredible blessing to someone in need.

ETA: a new item! I got an email tonight from a sweet woman who knows Noel, who wanted to offer this item up. Isn't it GORGEOUS?! Ack. I love it! Here's the description:
