Aprons for AFRICA!

It is such a great gift to have good friends! One of those good friends in my life is Magen Quiroz. She is a daughter, a sister, a wife and now a mother! And beyond these roles, she is a seriously creative craftswoman. It's like craftiness seeps from her pores. Anyhow, she was gracious enough to donate her time and talents to make aprons, broaches and patches out of some African fabric that I purchased this summer in Uganda. With the making of these items, Magen is helping me to put the "FUN" back into Fundraising.

To launch the selling of the aprons, we hosted a Tea Party to give a sneak peek at Magen's masterful work. In one afternoon of sales, we raised over $200. We look forward to see people get excited about this fun new project!

The aprons are officially now on sale! I've posted a few pictures of the aprons. Let me know if you're interested in purchasing any of the items, and I'll be sure to hook you up!

Full Aprons, $40
Half Aprons, $30
Broaches, $10
Patches, $5

And feel free to check out Magen's blog and some of the other things she creates!
