Christmas Ideas

Surprisingly, Christmas is less than a month away!  We are all rushing to buy gifts and trying to figure out what to give to the "tough" people on our lists.

Perhaps you are like me and would like to share about Compassion whenever it is possible.  Well, I have a great way you can do that this Christmas!

On my Etsy shop, I have 11 different and unique sets of bracelets.  The entire profit from each set will either go to a CSP in Africa or to continue sponsoring my Mabel in Bolivia.

The best part is is that through December 3 there is a 10% off sale in my shop!  Use the code CYBERMONDAY13 at checkout to get the discount.

Support Compassion through your purchases

I keep trying to find ways to support Compassion.  As you probably know, I sponsor and correspond with my Compassion family.

I also have an Etsy shop where the profit is donated to Compassion- that is what we are going to talk about today.  However, I am not going to tell you how amazing my shop is (if you want to see how amazing it is though, you can HERE).  I am going to tell you how amazing others' are.

First of all Katie just started an Etsy shop.  She uses the profit from her sales to benefit her sponsored children.  She makes ruffle scarfs and baby bibs, mainly.

Jennifer sells book slings and leg warmers.  Because of her Etsy shop, she has been able to sponsor six children with Compassion!

And last but not least, Sonja just opened an Etsy shop, too.  She transforms paper into beads, which are then made into bracelets.  The profits from her sales are donated to Child Survival Programs.

I think purchasing something from one of these shops would be a great way to support Compassion! :)

Hello!

As you may have seen on the right sidebar, I have an Etsy shop.  Well, my grandma and I.  It is called madefromscratch4u.  Basically, I started this shop last autumn to raise money for Compassion.  Some of every sale goes to Compassion.

I am selling five handmade bracelets for only $5.99.  The entire $5.99 will go to help a Child Survival Program in Africa through Compassion.  What I think is cool is that they can be great conversation starters.  You know, someone likes your bracelet.  And you can tell them about Compassion and how they are saving babies' lives.  

My grandma made this doll jacket and some other doll clothes.  They fit American Girl dolls, but they are way cheaper than outfits that you can buy through AG.  And of course, part of the profit goes to Compassion.  Usually, I use it to give a monetary gift to one of my Compassion family or to go to a group sponsorship.  

I love to make cards!  However, I only have one on my shop right now.  All of the profit goes to Compassion through monetary gifts and group sponsorship.  

And, we custom order everything (doll clothes, cards, hand towels, bracelets, etc.)!!  Now I am not trying to get you to buy anything, I just wanted to let you know that I had a shop.  I know that most of you love Compassion.  While you are Christmas shopping, I hope that you will check out my shop HERE and know that every purchase changes a life.

Thanks!

Change a life!

Lizzie :)
