I am very happy and excited to announce that our Etsy community and other creative supporters and contributors of our facebook page, 'What Can You Do To Help Japan?' has met our goal of $5000 and then some! Today we reached a grand total of $5476! Therefore, we have decided to revise our goal and change it to $10,000 to reflect the success and enthusiasm the contributing artists have demonstrated. Japan needs our help so we will aim higher and believe that we will reach our new goal!

Our Vancouver Island Etsy Team leader and another VI Etsy seller, were in the Sooke News Mirror today. Way to go girls! Our story is getting out there and spreading! "It only takes a spark to get a fire going..."
