ABOUT THE CHARITY<br />
The National Mill Dog Rescue (NMDR) makes it a priority to save puppy
mill survivors, the parents of those adorable pet store puppies, from a
life of neglect and abuse. They then provide ALL necessary medical and
dental treatments, and then foster the dogs until they can find their
forever home. <br />
I support NMDR because of these good works by donations from my etsy
store and by personally helping to spread awareness about the cruelty of
puppy mills. <br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: small;">The <a href="http://pugrescueofnewengland.org/">Pug Rescue of New England</a> (PRoNE) is a charity near and dear to my heart, for without them I never would have met my little soul mate and muse. I adopted James Dean from PRoNE in 2008 and appreciate all that the rescue does to save abandoned, abused, and neglected pugs. This year alone their vet bills are already close to $30,000 and they have only made up about half of that amount in adoption fees. It is the least I can do to give what I can to help them find forever homes for the sweet puglets that come into their care. </span></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666702842869714754.post-45360506248354929932012-10-08T00:30:00.000-04:002012-10-08T17:34:20.613-04:00Pepper the Alpaca and Wool Rabbit by yarnmiracle<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #999999;">The <a href="http://www.milldogrescue.org/">National Mill Dog Rescue </a>was established in honor of Lily, an
Italian Greyhound. Prior to her rescue, she spent 7 years of her life as
a commercial breeding dog and puppy mill mom in deplorable conditions
that resulted in the deterioration of part of Lily's mouth and lower
jaw, mammary tumors, and an intense fear of people. No animal should
suffer as Lily did! </span></span>

10% of the proceeds of the Christmas card (or $0.45 in this case) will

FairyCardmaker runs card and paper-crafting workshops where some
proceeds of the workshop fee and raffle tickets are donated to SOAR.
The goal of FairyCardmaker's fundraisers is to generate enough funds for
SOAR to cover the rescue, foster costs and adoption of one dog per
year.</span><br />

Custom sizes also available, on paper or canvas.<br />
<br />
This baby elephant is just too adorable! A large herd of elephants came
to drink at a waterhole in Etosha National Park (Namibia), and I
watched them for hours, absolutely mesmerized. Of course, the waterhole
was only small, too small for 50 elephants to fit into all at once - so
some family groups wandered off to give others a chance to drink... Baby
elephants were running about everywhere.<br />
<br />
When this little one missed the moment when his mother wandered off a
short distance, and noticed her leaving - he trumpeted, trunk up in the
air, tail swishing around, and ran after her as fast as he could to
round her up and lead her back to the waterhole again!
<br />
<br />
<br />
I support the <a href="http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/" target="_blank">David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust</a> with 10% of sales from all
my art/photographs involving African Elephants. The DSWT rescue baby
elephants (and rhinos, and other animals) who have been orphaned because
of poaching, or have lost their family herds some way or another. These
babies grow up in the care of humans, but eventually learn to become
wild elephants again and re-integrate into the wild, and go on to have
families and babies of their own. For fundraising they run a digital
fostering program, which allows you to 'foster' an orphan and get photos
and emails about their progress. My family fosters three elephant
babies - Sities, Suguta, and Sabachi. You can also visit the DSWT facebook page<a href="http://www.facebook.com/thedswt/" target="_blank"> here.</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I donate 10% of the retail price ($2 in this case) from any of African Elephant images to the DSWT. My photographs
are of wild elephants with families - so I want to support the orphaned
elephants without families.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666702842869714754.post-25036140180949200372012-09-13T08:10:00.000-04:002012-09-13T14:11:56.726-04:00Vintage Luxury Soda Crate Pet Bed by ShortcakeDesigns<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Pamper your pet with this chic <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/105046374/vintage-luxury-soda-crate-pet-bed" target="_blank">vintage soda crate pet bed</a> by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ShortcakeDesigns?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">ShortcakeDesigns</a>. Not only does
this bed have character, but it also has a unique history! This soda
crate was used to ship soda bottles from Graf's Bottling Works. <br />
<br />
Graf's Bottling works was located in Iowa City, Iowa from approximately
1850 to 1950 and bottled several types of sodas. This crate features
their signature logo. Time has helped create a wonderful rustic vintage
feel with the original wording slightly faded and the wood metal accents
wonderfully aged.<br />
<br />
A great gift for a native or transplanted Iowa resident or anyone who loves to collect vintage soda items!<br />
<br />
Dimensions:<br />
19.5 inches by 13.5 inches<br />
4 inches tall inside<br />

His floppy arms, legs, ears and curly cue tail are securely attached and
his little piggy eyes are embroidered with organic cotton to avoid
small parts. Carnation is stuffed with Eco Wool Filling (wooly stuffing
that is both predator and sheep friendly) for an extra huggable middle.
Carnation Pig's wooly pink wool comes from a small flock of well-tended
Jacob sheep - a critically endangered breed. <br />

CHARiTY OF THE MONTH which differs each month. Please visit our Team's

<br />
Each COTM is nominated by a member of Team EFA - the charity undergoes a
detailed investigation by our COTM Co-Leader to insure 'quality
control' - is then promoted by our COTM Treasury Leader with a fabulous
weekly Etsy collection which is posted / tweeted / pinned thru our
social media channels and as Team EFA's blog editor, I typeset the COTM
articles on our charities each month. With this much effort and care,
and as Team EFA's COTM Leader - I naturally choose to support and donate
to these wonderful charities ! <br />
<br />
This month our COTM is Search Dog Foundation: <a class="external-link-overlay-trigger overlay-trigger" href="http://www.searchdogfoundation.org/" rel="#external-link-overlay" target="_blank">www.searchdogfoundation.org/</a> <br />

<a href="http://img1.etsystatic.com/007/0/5220039/il_570xN.370897149_2x98.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="243" src="http://img1.etsystatic.com/007/0/5220039/il_570xN.370897149_2x98.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
This original pastel drawing by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/terikor?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">terikor</a> titled <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/108291105/sydney-tibetan-terrier-pastel-drawing" target="_blank">Sydney</a> has special meaning for me.
Sydney was one of the many dogs I met when I was reporting for <a class="external-link-overlay-trigger overlay-trigger" href="http://examiner.com/" rel="#external-link-overlay" target="_blank">Examiner.com</a>
at the Westminster Dog Show last February. Behind the scenes in the
staging room at Westminster you get to visit with many different breeds
and learn about them. Not all dogs attending Westminster are just show
dogs. Sydney’s story was an endearing one that immediately grabbed me
and I knew that that I wanted to draw her portrait. This Tibetan Terrier
was attacked by a Bobcat. The vets did not think she would live and if
she did they thought she would loose her leg. Fighting the odds, Sydney
persevered recovering fully going on to become number 5 in Tibetan
Terriers. There is something about Sydney that reminds you of an old
soul as you look into her eyes. Perhaps it is that she has been through
so much. Those eyes captured me and this drawing is the result of my
short visit with Sydney.<br />
<br />
This unframed drawing is 8.5” X 11” and is priced at $100. 10% of the proceeds will benefit the <a href="http://www.searchdogfoundation.org/" target="_blank">Search Dog Foundation</a>. You can visit their <a href="http://www.facebook.com/NationalDisasterSearchDogFoundation" target="_blank">Facebook Page here</a>.<br />
<br />
I chose the Search Dog Foundation as the Charity for several reasons.
First Syndey had tremendous drive to live just like the drive of those
rescue dogs at the Search Dog Foundation who assist in finding people
buried alive in the wreckage of disasters. I also choose this charity
because the Search Dog Foundation is the Etsy for Animals Charity of the
Month making it befitting to honor the Search Dog Foundation in more
than one venue.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666702842869714754.post-54139818400207554672012-09-04T00:01:00.000-04:002012-09-04T00:01:01.195-04:00"Creation" - An Abstract Acrylic Painting by thebluewindmill<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">EFA's Monthly Challenge Team would like to announce a brand new member promotions program called Etsy for Animals Member Charity Promotions (aka EFA Member Charity Promotions) which will replace our Monthly Challenge program, effective immediately.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">EFA's new Member Charity Promotions program will continue in a similar tradition utilizing our current Challenge Blog site (which will be renamed the EFA Member Charity Promotions Blog) as a venue to promote EFA members' team tagged products. Team tagged products, as is currently our team policy, must benefit a formal animal charity organization of some kind.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The primary purpose of our new program will be to assist our members in promoting one of their products in order to facilitate fund raising for the animal charity organization of their choosing, which may or may not be EFA's featured Charity of the Month. The selected product will not need to fit any specific theme and will be on a permanent Anything Goes cycle.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The entry becomes an advertisement of sorts- not only for the actual product but also for the animal charity organization it will benefit. The blog post will include information about the product, its retail cost, which animal charity it will benefit once sold. Information about the charity itself such as their website and why the member is "sponsoring" them, as well as how much </span><span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">will be donated to said charity - specified </span><span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">either in actual dollars or in percentage value- a minimum of at least 10%.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The blog post &amp; product will be promoted on our Social Media channels by Team EFA's dedicated volunteers: on EFA's Fb fan page; on our Twitter account and our Pinterest group. It will also be announced on EFA's Yahoo Groups and posted on our Etsy Teams group. Member participation will be sought to Share, Promote and Heart the item as a way to collectively advertise the product through our Circles. </span><br />
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But wait! there is more… the second purpose of our new EFA Member Charity Promotions Program is to create an actual fund driving effort for one of our member's charity. That's right… here's where it gets even more exciting ! </span><br />
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We will be asking each entrant to donate a $2 gift as an entry fee for their advertising slot on the blog. For every 16 entries we receive- an Etsy Treasury will be created- putting each product in a visible collection on Etsy.com. A competition will then ensue on our blog with a voter Poll in which the winner's animal charity organization will win the $32 entry fee jackpot. </span><br />
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Anyone can vote so let's see how many votes people can muster up for their charity... what a grand cause- an actual monetary donation to a charity ! </span><br />
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">How does it get any better? </span><span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We do it again! </span><span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">That's right, after we post the Treasury and Poll on the blog… we can start again with a fresh batch of 16 entries. For right now, we'll keep this program on a Monday to Friday schedule but if this new promotional program takes off- we can expand it to a daily posting schedule. Team EFA is here to "Make A Difference" !</span><br />
