Rustic Christmas Paintings 4 Water

Check out these super cute, rustic Christmas paintings I have discovered!! They are ADORABLE if I do say so myself. I LOVE them so much I have decided to paint more. I will be selling them for $40 each to help raise money for our charity:water campaign. If you have not read about it, click here. 

Each painting is approx. 27" x 22" in., made of wood with acrylic paint. I can do either the Santa or the Snowman. 

If you are interested please let me know via facebook or email (kaceylyn09@gmail.com). 

You may donate directly to my family's charity:water site, or write a check to me and I will donate it in your name.

100% of all donations will go directly to the charity:water campaign. Help bring life-saving water to the people of Rwanda and decorate your house for this wonderful time of year all at the same time :)

Checking In...

Hey everyone! I promise I am still here! I'm not sure why I haven't made it around to blogging lately. Perhaps being super busy + super tired = no time/energy/brain power to write anything!

 I was about to skip over the blog again tonight when I realized we are getting SOO much closer to the end of the year and the end of my charity:water campaign to bring clean water to people in Rwanda. We are currently at $1,560 raised. Our goal is still $5,000 by the end of 2012!!! (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to all those who have donated so far!! Yall are AMAZING!!)

I meant to post an idea I had the other day thanks to my wonderful mother. You see, a couple of weeks ago, my mom gave me all of my Dad's coins he has in a basket next to his bed. Each night he empties out his pockets and puts all his change in a basket. Who knows how long it had been sitting there? She wanted me to use it to donate towards the water project in Rwanda. I willingly took the coins to a local CoinStar hoping to get maybe $50 or so out of them. As I kept pouring coins, I watched in amazement as the $$ total kept going up and up and up. Let me tell you, two ziplock bags of coins adds up FAST!! I walked out of the store that day with about $277!! I was SO excited. All from coins that would have set next to my parents bed for another year or so I'm sure.

SO...here's my idea. I am in the market for COINS!!! I am sure we all have a similar coin basket/jar/cup just  like my dad (I know Reagan and I do!). If you have some coins laying around that you do not want to take the time to turn in yourself and would like to donate them to a good cause, I am your girl!! I will come pick them up, exchanage them, and donate them onto my charity:water website FOR YOU! You don't have to do ANYTHING (except maybe pour them into a disposable bag/container!), but if you don't even want to take the time to do that, I will even return your container to you when I am done.

So start emptying those pockets, and looking under your couch cushions! Oh yeah, and pass on the word...the more coins the better!!!! Just facebook me or email me @ kaceylyn09@gmail.com and let me know when would be a good time to come by. Thanks so much everyone!!!

P.S. Charity:water is starting a new campaign series this Christmas season. If you would like to start your own fundraiser and help change lives, all new campaigns started this holiday season will go to building wells for people in Ethiopia where more than 2 million people are without clean water.
