My handmade life: Truly worth the effort

I just wanted to post some good news for those of you who love crafting and find joy in creating for a good cause. The Holiday Craft fair I participated in was a success not only in terms of the positive feedback received but also for the money raised for charity. We were able to raise a record amount for the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance Patient/Family Assistance Fund--perhaps the highest amount in 10 years! This provides assistance to families who have members undergoing cancer treatment in Seattle and have critical financial needs.
