Step 4:
(FYI – These pictures will be saved to show all of Eli’s future girlfriends!)Project 320
(someone bought the owl one I wanted!)Julie and a few of her friends are hosting an amazing fundraiser… it’s actually more of an epic event to change the world… but I’ll let her tell you about it…
Now glory be to God! By His mighty power at work within us, He is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.
Ephesians 3:20This project is more than I could ever ask or hope.
Collectively working together to do something good.
Something big.
Something amazing.
The plan is simple:One well.
One week.
To collect 100 handmade and heartfelt items.
Divide them into 10 giant, happy prize bundles.Have five days of giveaways.Two bundles of prizes featured each day.
But not just the “enter, enter, enter, get, get, get” type of giveaways.
More of a raffle.Each $10 donation to charity:water equals one entry.Readers can choose their favorite prize bundle or bundles, donate and then put their names in the drawing to win.
We will have our own webpage so entrants can donate directly to the well and we all can track and celebrate the progress.
10 bundlesIt will only take 50 comments a bundle
To equal $5,000.
$5,000 fully funds a well.A well that can save 500 lives.
Change an entire village.Forever.Ambitious? Maybe?
Doable? Certainly.
A little giving instead of just getting.
Powerful.

I’m donating Eli’s Lids and the stuff I’ve been making for She’s Crafty.
Today last year…
We were getting ready for Christmas too!
I'm honored you clicked on Eli's Lids...I love visitors! Explore the blog to learn what really makes Eli's Lids so awesome... my little family and my inspiration... Eli! I'm a stay at home mama who starting sewing adorable "Lids" for my son in 2006. Before I knew it, friends and family were requesting Lids for their kids and baby shower gifts. I decided to sew my little heart out and start Eli's Lids! I've worked really hard to create a unique practical style for moms just like me. I hope you like them too. Many Blessings from my family to yours! ~Kara-Noel
