Blogging Fail...and fundraising ideas



I had grand dreams of recounting the whole 3 weeks in Ecuador on here...and I got through 2 ministry days. Oops.
Life kinda happened and time got away from me.

I wanted to let you all know that God has given me one more opportunity to work with Susie Magazine and Big World Venture and I'll be heading to Panama next summer for the same trip, different location.

I have a little more advanced notice this time, and I want to be more creative in how I raise money this year. I'm out of school now and am working more and realized that God has provided these jobs for me and I want to use the opportunities He has given me to raise a portion of the money needed through work. So each paycheck, I'm setting aside a small amount that will add up over the next 9 months.

And a week ago, I was looking at different blogs and came across a tutorial to make a sweet purse.

An idea was sparked.

I discovered several other tutorials and I currently have several projects planned out in my head.

Tonight I completed my first one and I thought I'd share it with you:
