We're off to the Races!

Well, as you can see on the left, I have managed to get items into the Summertime Lane Kids shop on Etsy. Now, let's hope I sell oodles of items!

We are selling each item in the shop for $15 each. $5 of each item will go to St. Jude's Research Hospital. The artwork is shown and you get to pick the size of the shirt or tote bag or mouse pad. You can even send us your child's artwork and we will put it on an item for you. This would be a great idea for a child's class gift for a teacher or Mother's Day present.

My husband and I had quite a discussion on what charity we should choose. We wanted to use a children's charity and we have so many that we contribute to, we decided on St. Jude's to start and we'll see how it grows...I mean goes. Hopefully, it will take off (heaven knows my children are still cranking out the artwork) and we'll have lots of items sold and we can add more charities to give to. The main idea behind the shop (and soon website) is that an amount from each item goes to the charity. That way, as long as we're selling, we'll be giving back.

Well, guess that's it for now.

Be sure to check out all our Etsy shops and our eBay store.
