Thanks to everyone that contributed to the relief efforts in Haiti.
Obviously, there is still much work that needs to be done, and money that will need to be donated.
When I started this blog, I anticipated that I would keep it current until Feb 14, 2010.
With that said, I will keep it here, as a nice reminder of those Artist/Crafters that have so generously donated proceeds to various charities. Many of them will continue to donate, so please check their shop announcements.
Thanks again. I am so proud of the Handmade Community!

They have profiled many of them on their blog
Take a moment, visit their blog. In this virtual world, it's always nice to "meet" the artists!

Hearts For Haiti
A group of Etsy sellers have joined forces to raise money for Doctors Without Borders. They have created an Etsy shop, called HeartsforHaiti
Currently, their shop is filled with Heart themed items (great for Valentine's Day!), so get on over there and take a look! Be sure to read their Shop Announcement and Policies if you are wondering how this all works.
Other ways to search Etsy for items/sellers donating to a great cause:
Use these terms in the search bar:
HHH
Haiti
Thank you for supporting this effort!
If you are a Handmade seller (on or off Etsy), and are donating a portion of your proceeds to the Relief effort in Haiti, leave a comment, and we will be sure to feature you!

You Can Help
Like many of you, I was heartbroken by the news of the recent, devastating earthquake in Haiti.
I've sat in front of the TV, with tears in my eyes, wondering what I could do to help. Sure, I could make a donation. But, I knew I could do more. For, I am part of a powerful movement.....the Handmade Movement. I am surrounded by artists, crafters and collectors that want to help.
With a little thought, HHH was born. It is intended to be a resource for you to find artists and crafters that are offering their support.
All of the artists participating have pledged to donate a portion, or all of their proceeds to the charity of their choice. Please note, it is up to the individual artist/crafter to follow through with their pledge. HHH is not responsible for making any donations.
So, how do you find the artists that are participating?
1. Check back here, as I will be adding links and posts about them
2. Visit Etsy.com and search for HHH in Tags/Titles
Help spread the word!
We have the ability to spread information quickly and easily. Please use these resources to get this going!

There is power in numbers. Please help.
Thank you!
