(Due to some unforeseen internet trouble, this post is a day late - my apologies.)
I'm very excited to be sharing some super news today!
Behind the scenes and in an effort to raise funds for the American Heart Association, I have had the privilege of being part of a wonderful collaborative project hosted by Jamie from hands on: as we grow. More than 70 fellow bloggers have contributed over 100 gorgeous heart-shaped crafts to a book called The Heart Project. This book is filled with beautiful photographs of the crafts and all the bloggers links are available, so that you can read the "how-to" if you would like to recreate the project.
The inspiration behind this great effort is a little girl called Ellie, and you can read more about her here.
The e-book is a gift to you, for a very small donation of $5 to the American Heart Association (that's less than R40 for my South African readers) . A printed copy (which I'm really excited about) will also be available for $20 and $5 of that will go to the Association. Both versions of the book will only be available during the month of February, so hurry if you want a copy :)!
And if you need some more encouragement, Craftprojectideas.com is contributing $1 for every e-book sold this month. That means in addition to your $5 donation Craftprojectideas will donate another $1 on your behalf (up to $500).
To add to the fun, many of the participating bloggers are also having giveaways linked to the book and there will even be an opportunity to win a printed copy of it. To see all the giveaway action, head on over to hands on: as we grow. Jamie has set out all the details for you very nicely.

And just to wet your appetite, I have included a few preview pages here.
My projects shared in the book are speckled origami hearts, made last year, and some heart finger puppets, which I shared in my last post.
So don't hesitate - it's a great cause. To purchase the e-book, click on the first button and to purchase the printed version, click on the second.
