Purple Dress Project is In Process

After months of searching for the perfect candle

jars for this fund raiser to help in the fight against

Crohn's Disease and Colitis I was thrilled 

to find these.  

The two jar sizes compliment each other and allow

for multiple levels of involvement in this event.

That was the good news.

The bad news is 

I bought all of the jars our 

local Christmas Tree Shops had.

That wasn't that many.

I had hoped that they would restock

and I would get more....

but that is not going to happen.

That was it!

To get more I would have to 

go to another state.

So....

It happens that I have friends in other 

states who might be willing to check out

availability in their local stores.

Therefore I am posting these photos 

of an unfinished project so that they can 

see what the jars look like.

If you happen to see some and want 

to let me know I'd appreciate it.

I am about three quarters done with the 

labels and thank you card that will go with each 

candle.  The information that is on this card

will probably be more spread out and included 

on a card with an envelope.

I so love the job my friend Elisabeth Walsh did

with the artwork of the girl in the purple dress.

She volunteered her talents toward this project.

You can find more of her work at her Etsy Shop,

AronaDesigns.

When we are ready to totally launch the 

project I will write again explaining the concept

and the special lady behind this project.

It is very worthwhile!

Perhaps one day we will be able

to say "good-bye" to colitis and crohn's 

once and for all.

Until then

50% of the sale of these candles will go 

to fight, fight, fight these 

awful diseases.

Stay tuned!!
