put your money where their mouths are

last week, i read an article that said that many people who get food stamps have no cash income at all and that 1 in 8 children in america is hungry every day. when i switched back to yahoo, their headline was "how to get rid of those unwanted holiday pounds" and was accompanied by a photo of a slim pretty young woman on an exercise bike in a gym. these 2 stories jangled on my nerves and i decided that i wanted to help out a local food bank.

i have no money, being recently laid off and retired, but i have talent which i have been using to make atcs. by the definition, they are always traded, never sold. my most recent endeavors have used the "zendoodle" technique and they have been very popular.

today, i am offering greeting cards, post cards, and various sizes of original art, for a set donation, with all money going to my local food bank, through my mother's church. all supplies, mailing costs, and time are donated by me, every dime you donate will go directly to the food bank. you can see these on my flickr account, at http://www.flickr.com/photos/52822842@N00/.

suggested donations are:

4x5.5 blank greeting cards - $5.00

4x6 post cards - $7.00

4x5 art - $8.00

5x5 art - $9.00

6x12 art "give me mercy for my dreams" - $12.00

9x12 art "can't find my way home" - $15.00

please contact me at catriley2004@yahoo.com if you are interested in donating. the flickr site will be updated as items are spoken for. i will mail the same day i receive your money.

thank you for your support.
