Help a Child With Your Homemade Donation!

My author friend, Sandy Hurtes, started THE MADE-BY-HAND PROJECT to raise funds for child migrants in Europe. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go to Save the Children's Refugee Child Relief Crisis Fund.

Sandy is interested in donations that people have made--jewelry, crocheted/knitted items, paintings, sculpture, clothing, pottery, authors' signed books--virtually any art or craft that is hand created. These items will be sold at a future event, some time in early March.

For more information on donations or how to get involved, contact Sandy at TheMadeByHandProject@yahoo.com or visit The Made By Hand Project Facebook page.

It's Raining Books: The Ambivalent Memoirist by Sandra Hurtes - Guest ...:

I was floored by the small excerpt Sandra Hurtes shared in her post at "It's Raining Books"--a wonderful display of exceptional writing talent. Sandra Hurtes was given high praise for her memoir by Publisher's Weekly yet her interest doesn't lie in a writing career. In one e-mail I found her to be a highly intelligent, down to earth woman, and refreshingly forthright.

This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions . Sandra will be awarding a copy of her book. Go to the link and find out how you can win a copy of this exceptional work.
