Fundraiser for the family of Jamie Shannon

Oct-11-2011 - Dec-31-2011

The family of Jamie Shannon is dealing with a very difficult time as she struggles with terminal cancer. I know from personal experience how difficult it is to watch a family member suffer from cancer and the cost of care before and after the person passes.

Jamie and her partner of 13 years, Donna Tarkett, are Moms to 4 awesome kids, ranging in age from 19 to 5. If you aren't familiar with them, you can read more of their story at http://www.giveforward.com/karma4uhope4us.

I wanted to do something for the family, so I decided to set up this fundraiser. I will give 5% from the total of each order placed through this link to the family. All purchases will be shipped directly to the person ordering (until Monday October 17th, orders over $60 get free shipping to the continental US and Canada !).

This counts on anything ordered on the site -- books, CDs, puzzles, puppets, gift cards, etc.!

You can even choose to order items (including gift cards!) to gift to the Shannon/Tarkett Family! If you don't already have their personal address, contact me at skyrose@gmail.com before you order and I'll give you my address. I will then take the items directly to them.

This fundraiser will run through December 31, 2011. Feel free to give the link (http://store.barefootbooks.com/?bf_affiliate_code=000-038t-4938) to anyone you know who might be interested in buying Holiday presents and want to help out an awesome family in the process!

Barnyard First Puzzles

Wonderfully durable pieces
Jun-28-2009

These puzzle pieces are extremely durable and wonderful for small fingers. They are easy to put together and have bright images on the front. I actually tried to break one of these puzzle pieces in half and wasn't able to! The pieces are thick like a board book!

Goddesses

Beautiful book!
Jun-28-2009

This book is not only beautifully illustrated, but the stories are gorgeous. I love the fact that it not only contains Goddesses that you'd expect, but also Goddesses that you probably haven't heard of before. This is a wonderful book for girls to learn about strong women or for people of different faiths to learn about other beliefs.
