Have You Checked Out Cheri?

as i have previously posted >here< japan is still under extreme devastation and the blows just keep coming, not only did they suffer an extreme earthquake and then tsunami they then endured not one but TWO, yes 2, nuclear explosions and they just keep coming. i can't even imagine the thoughts that these people have running through their minds. every single sound probably ensues immense anxiety while fear washes over them.

nothing puts a smile on my face more than to see the many different bloggers that are offering up whatever help they can and urging their readers to donate, offer up some prayers/thoughts, and do anything in their power to show these people some pure human love and compassion. the kind that we can act as one and embrace one another in a time of extreme need. everyone knows that sometimes our shortfalls as human beings are less than stellar, however, that's a totally different blog posts - my rants are not the focal point of this.

Cheri's blog is a daily read for me. she's apart of my daily morning routine, as i have learned i am apart of others.






Cheri is offering a tutorial for theee cutest tote (tohoku tote) in exchange for anyone whom is willing to donate to a humanitarian aid program for as little as $8. all you have to do is e-mail her after you make your donation and voila!. you can get going on that right now before even finishing my post (if you're willing, that is - promise i will won't hold a grudge, lol) in donating you're not only helping out a country whom is clearly in dire need but you're also receiving something in return straight from Cheri whom in my eyes is the bees knees. i applaud her for everything she does, she's pretty wicked awesome! i mean, where do you see a problem in this?! you can't, because there isn't!

so please, if you're able, donate. japan clearly needs it. and in return you get to sport a brand new tote which is super spiffy (i just said that, and darn proud!). here's the link again if you missed.

also hop (i know you're not peter cottontail) on over to visit Cheri, i promise you will become - obsessed. she won't disappoint. and you compare her and maker her an analogy -- she's like a great coffee joint, you can't live without her you need your daily fix because she keeps you wondering what she's going to come out with next. her crafting is beyond awesome, her boys are a-dor-a-ble, and she has the greatest ideas for decorating every and all rooms, check out her craft room - swoon.
