Introducing The Heart Project

Friends, I want to share with you about something I've been blessed to be able to participate in.  We all do a lot of different things with our blogs, but every now and then something really special comes along where we're able to use our "voice" in the blogosphere to make a difference, especially when we join together.  This is one of those projects.  I hope you'll check it out.

The Heart Project: American Heart Association Fundraiser

Welcome to The Heart Project!

The Heart Project is a collaborative project to raise funds for the American Heart Association [AHA] and to support a little girl named Ellie [read her story].

More than 70 bloggers have collaborated together to bring you a beautiful book of heart projects! The book includes 100+ child-related heart projects to create, cook, play with and display in your home!

By making a donation to the AHA, you will receive this amazing collection of photographed heart projects from bloggers all over the world! We hope you will join all of us in our efforts to raise $1000 by Valentine's Day for the AHA!

[The eBook has links for most of the heart projects to a tutorial on the blog that contributed it to the book! There is a collective index in the back as well for those that are purchasing the printed version to check out each of the blogs in the book.]

A sneak peek of what's in the book:

Of course, you can always choose to donate to the AHA without receiving the book too, if you prefer.

There are also a ton of giveways going on to benefit the AHA in conjunction with this project, which you can find links to at hands on: as we grow.

Our contribution to the book was the heart mixed media art Little Crafter made last week:

I previewed the book, and believe me, it's full of so many other gorgeous, fun, crafty, yummy ideas...you're going to love it!
