Sponsor Giveaways: SewCute Shop
One person will receive a Women's Auty Top from SewCute Shop (you will be able to choose your own fabric from her current stock):
Here's a little bit about SewCute Shop and Brandy's mission to do something really good for another family:
I started sewing sometime last year and fell in love. My grandmother (Nana) taught me the basics of pinning patterns, hemming, and seams. After being taught those skills I have really been a self-taught seamstress. I have a true love for putting the most trendy fabrics together and making 'SewCute' items. The items I place in SewCute Shop are my favorites and I am very happy to make them for you.
In March 2009 my best friend's little boy was suddenly diagnosed with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) - a degenerative brain disease. The movie 'Lorenzo's Oil was made to bring awareness to this newly discovered disease. In early April, Joel, Teresa and Riley Greene aka TEAMGREENE were moved from Chattanooga, TN to Durham, NC where Riley would spend what they thought 100 days after receiving a bone marrow transplant. Due to complications, this week marks 133 TEAMGREENE has been in Duke Hospital.
I made a pledge to donate all proceeds from SewCute Shop to TEAMGREENE until they returned home in Chattanooga. For me sewing has become much more than just a hobby it has been a small part of what allows my best friend to stay by her son's side. For more information on TEAMGREENE visit www.carepages.com/carepages/teamgreene and create a username/password.
When I'm not sewing away I enjoy spending time with my fabulous husband, Ty and two children Autumn (9) and Tyler (2).
I had Brandy make one of these for Anna (see above) and one of these for me (love wearing it over my jeans) and they are awesome.

What cute clothes and a touching story. My favorite charity is the Arthritis Foundation. www.arthritis.org
My mom has a form of arthritis in her spine and she lives with chronic pain. I wish a cure would be found so that she could be free of the pain!

With 4 people in our family (my brother, my 2 boys,and myself) with Cystic Fibrosis, my charity of choice is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I've always wanted to get into sewing - my mom used to sew clothes for herself, my little sister, and me all the time. All of our Halloween costumes were hand made...and the BEST! Pick me! Pick me!

My dad was born with a cleft lip and palate, but was lucky enough to live in the UK so he received great treatment. This is a link to my favourite charity that help children around the world with the same problem but are not as fortunate as my Dad.

I don't have a specific charity I contribute to regularly, other than my contribution to the Fine Arts/Humanities College at the unversity i attended. I have donated to many various agencies, including the United Way, various cancer organizations, and the epilepsy foundation. I also try to give to our local food shelf whenever I can.

One of my favorite charities is Operation Christmas Child, sponsored by Samaritan's Purse: http://www.operationchristmaschild.com/
And I'm not sure if this is exactly a charity, but I'm a supporter of Go Red for Women (http://www.goredforwomen.org/) because heart disease runs in my family.

Wow- Thanks for connecting me to such a cool shop! My favorite charity is St. Jude's Children's Hospital. They provide medical care for children with cancer and other diseases, even if the child's family cannot afford it. They have also made great strides in the medical research field.

What cute clothes! my favorite charity is Samaritan's Purse, which provides many different services around the globe. One that my family participates in every year is Operation Christmas Child, where we fill a box with necessities, and presents, and Samaritan's Purse delivers them to impoverished children around the world. It is something my kids can relate to, and we look forward to it every year.

*sigh* I wish I could sew....too cute!
I'm all for anyone who works with animals and has a no kill policy. I worry about the ones who don't get enough donations to save the animals and about the ones who take in the animals who were intentionally hurt. I try to support them all, including http://www.hsus.org/
