Autism Awarness Charity Auctions On eBay

2009-08-03T11:00:00.000-07:00

This month Age*Before*Beauty eBay group is hosting a charity auction on eBay for Autism Not for Profits. Each of our members is listing items August 1-7 and can relist them the whole month long. They will be donating a % of each item sold to their choice of an Autism Charity Worldwide.

You can find the auctions by searching eBay AB4B Autism or clicking HERE There are all kinds of creations being listed from Autism Themed to Halloween and even Uncle SAM. I hear from the grapevine soon their will be tags and soaps and even a couple Christmas creations.

Here are a couple of the listings and there are a lot more to come.....

From Seasonaltouch

Here is one from me, Always Crafty 2

From Hattipottersprims

Now I have to share a short story with ya about this amazing dad I met on eBay He is not part of AB4B but he is someone who is now dear to my heart!

Buttons and More on Ebay or their website is http://www.ButtonsandMore.com

Here is a little about Richard and Sarah

"My name is Richard and my daughter Sarah has Autism. I'm a father on a mission. A mission to be a voice for our children. But I need your help. I am only one man, I only have one voice and my voice is not very loud. My wish is to have every Parent, Teacher, Family Member and Caregiver who knows someone with Autism to take a stand and be their voice.For me buttons have been a small but effective way of educating others about Autism. I think of them as personal bumper stickers. As a father with an Autistic child, I am dedicated to raising awareness. If you have an idea for a button please email me."

Richard and Sarah have touched by heart and inspired me to step up and do more for Autism Awareness. I created Sarah her own personalized Autism Bunny and they returned the favor by sending me some of their magnets and buttons.

You can send them a product picture or logo and they can create them into buttons, magnets and more... Check out their shops for your advertising needs and more!

An update to CPSIA

2009-01-09T04:44:00.000-08:00

NEWS from CPSCU.S. Consumer Product Safety CommissionOffice of Information and Public AffairsWashington, DC 20207FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEJanuary 8, 2009Release #09-086CPSC Recall Hotline: (800) 638-2772CPSC Media Contact: (301) 504-7908CPSC Clarifies Requirements of New Children's Product Safety Laws Taking Effect in February:Guidance Intended for Resellers of Children's Products, Thrift and Consignment StoresWASHINGTON, D.C. - In February 2009, new requirements of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) take effect. Manufacturers, importers and retailers are expected to comply with the new Congressionally-mandated laws. Beginning February 10, 2009, children's products cannot be sold if they contain more than 600 parts per million (ppm) total lead. Certain children's products manufactured on or after February 10, 2009 cannot be sold if they contain more that 0.1% of certain specific phthalates or if they fail to meet new mandatory standards for toys.Under the new law, children's products with more than 600 ppm total lead cannot lawfully be sold in the United States on or after February 10, 2009, even if they were manufactured before that date. The total lead limit drops to 300 ppm on August 14, 2009.The new law requires that domestic manufacturers and importers certify that children's products made after February 10 meet all the new safety standards and the lead ban. Sellers of used children's products, such as thrift stores and consignment stores, are not required to certify that those products meet the new lead limits, phthalates standard or new toy standards.The new safety law does not require resellers to test children's products in inventory for compliance with the lead limit before they are sold. However, resellers cannot sell children's products that exceed the lead limit and therefore should avoid products that are likely to have lead content, unless they have testing or other information to indicate the products being sold have less than the new limit. Those resellers that do sell products in violation of the new limits could face civil and/or criminal penalties.When the CPSIA was signed into law on August 14, 2008, it became unlawful to sell recalled products. All resellers should check the CPSC Web site (www.cpsc.gov) for information on recalled products before taking into inventory or selling a product. The selling of recalled products also could carry civil and/or criminal penalties.The agency intends to focus its enforcement efforts on products of greatest risk and largest exposure. While CPSC expects every company to comply fully with the new laws resellers should pay special attention to certain product categories. Among these are recalled children's products, particularly cribs and play yards; children's products that may contain lead, such as children's jewelry and painted wooden or metal toys; flimsily made toys that are easily breakable into small parts; toys that lack the required age warnings; and dolls and stuffed toys that have buttons, eyes, noses or other small parts that are not securely fastened and could present a choking hazard for young children.The agency has underway a number of rulemaking proposals intended to provide guidance on the new lead limit requirements. Please visit the CPSC website at www.cpsc.gov for more information.To see this release on CPSC's web site, please go to: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09086.html

A Special one day only from Always Crafty2

This is an original One of a Kind Primitive Nativity Set by Always Crafty 2. You will receive both Mary and Joseph and Baby Jesus along with 2 doll stands.Each doll is made from natural muslin that I stained with gingerbread tea.

Mary and Joseph are both boxed bottomed so they will sit if you want them too or stand using the large doll stands.

Mary is 27 inches tall and has a hand painted face. She has black yarn for hair. Mary is wearing a homespun dress and brown leggings. She has felt sandals on her feet. Mary has soft sculptured fingers and toes. Her hands are tacked so that she can hold her beloved bundle of Joy.

Joseph measures 28 inches tall and his face is also hand painted. Joseph outfit is made from vintage fabric. He has soft sculptured fingers and toes like Mary. He is also wearing sandals made from felt and crochet thread. Joseph is holding a staff made from brown vintage fabric and stuffed with polyfill. Joseph hair is made from brown lumpy bump yarn.

The reason for this season is baby Jesus.

Jesus is made from natural muslin that I lightly stained with gingerbread tea. He has a hand painted face and measures 9 inches long. This small doll had no arms or legs. He is wrapped in white muslin cloth. The cloth he is swaddled in is NOT stained to show the purity of Jesus. He is not tacked in Mary’s arms so that you may place him there on Christmas morning.

This Primitive Nativity Set sells on etsy for 125.50 with free shipping in the USA

TODAY only you can purchase this set right here for $100.00 and it is still FREE SHIPPIN in the USA!

All you need to do is send an email to Sandi_0510@msn.com stating I want this set. I will invoice you for the set and add your name into the hat for the ornies TWICE.

Welcome to Just Doodlin Around

2008-10-20T13:11:00.000-07:00

Welcome to Just Doodlin' Around's Blog. We are a group of artist and crafters who have joined together to promote our business on the internet. We are a wide and diverse group of artists and are always looking for new folks to join us.
You can find out more about Just Doodlin Around at our website

http://www.justdoodlinaround.com/

The best about our JDA or Just Doodlin Around is it is FREE! Yes you heard correct...No cost and FREE! The only thing we ask is that you have a page on your website showcasing the Just Doodlin Around Gang. We even give you the code for all the info to show up.

Little Info on how we all got started:
Elizabeth with Craft From My Heart is the creator of Just Doodlin' Around. Elizabeth wanted a low cost or free way that she could help other crafters on the internet get noticed.

http://www.craftfrommyheart.com/

Crafts From My Heart is a wonderful online shoppe where you can find all kind of hand painted goodies. You can find hand painted glassware and hand painted shirts. Elizabeth also creates wreaths for all seasons and occasion.

While chatting with Elizabeth in the weekly DJDoodles Biz Chat, Elizabeth shared her ideas with Sandi of Always Crafty 2 & Sassy Soaps N Such. Sandi took Elizabeth's idea and ran with it. Within a few days Just Doodlin' Around was created and already on the web.

The graphics in our shoppe and on the Just Doodlin' Around page your will see throughout the internet were created by Jessica with Jessica's Doodles. Jessica not only doodles she is also a wonderful artist who works with crochet yarn and she has a wonderful online cookbook too.
You can find Jess at http://www.jessicasdoodles.com/ and her Tried and True Cookbook
http://www.geocities.com/crocheted_just_for_you/temptriedandtrue.html
