Ending the Backlog!

I am thrilled to announce that I am introducing some new items in my etsy shop.  These are close to my heart as they come not just for my love of jewelry making, but with a purpose. 

The federal government estimates that hundreds of thousands of rape kits sit untested in the United States. The Joyful Heart Foundation, along with president and founder, actress Mariska Hargitay, have started a movement at www.endthebacklog.org to shed light on this horrible epidemic.  I am creating one-of-a-kind pendant necklaces to help raise awareness.   

100% of the sales of these necklaces will benefit The Joyful Heart Foundation and their efforts to END THE BACKLOG!

Thank you all for supporting my efforts.  I am only one person, but if everyone does something to spread the word about the backlog problem, we can put an end to it!

With hope and creativity~

  3. Thank you both for your support! This really means a lot to me as I have friends who've been victims of rape. It would really do my creative heart some good to know that, in some small way, I made a difference.
