don't mind if i do!

recently, i've been working on a robot plush for an upcoming art show (which i will fill you in on soon!). as soon as i get that puppy done, this is next on my "to do" list...

Fred Flare is inviting people to make Valentines for a good cause! they will feature it online and the proceeds will go to Elder Craftsmen. if you're interested, here's what you have to do...(courtesy of FF!)

1) MAKE A VALENTINE
You can make it out of anything… Construction paper, collage, paint, crayon, a print of a photo you took, write a poem, make a mix tape, whatever ya feel like! Just make it fun and from the heart and easy to send. Be sure to include a matching envelope. Have fun with that also!

2) SEND YOUR VALENTINE + ENVELOPE TO FF BEFORE JAN 15TH
Ya can just pop both in another envelope and send it regular mail to SNAIL MAIL VALENTINES c/o fredflare.com, 300F Kingsland Av, Brooklyn NY 11222. Hurry! Your valentine MUST be postmarked no later than Thurs, Jan 15th to participate. That’s only 10 days away. DON’T flake on me, peeps!

3) YOUR VALENTINE WILL DEBUT ON FF THE LAST WEEK OF JANUARY
All valentines will be sold online and in our new Brooklyn store for the super friendly price of ONLY $4 EACH and ALL the proceeds from the sales of these valentines will go directly to Elder Craftsmen! Our last charity event raised $5K. Can we beat it? With your amazing creation in the mix, I know we can!

and after you finish, you can join their flickr group and share your masterpiece!

i cannot wait to start my Valentines. i might even get the kids to do one too. what a great way to get people involved! thanks to all of you lovelies over at Fred Flare!
