Crafting for the Cause

There is a cause for just about every disease out there today.  However, Lymphoma holds a special place in our hearts at church.  An amazing Christian Woman is currently fighting Lymphoma (and winning! YAY!).  When she was first diagnosed, I made her a bag of goodies. 

  However, these are not just any ordinary goodies.....

I figured these gifts would give a special meaning to my friend.  Also, these are gifts that she can give away to those who are closest to her.

The first item in the basket of goodies is an awareness ribbon.  Lime Green is the awareness color for Lymphoma. 

This is an easy and inexpensive way to show your support for any cause! I bought this ribbon at Hobby Lobby for 50% off. Cut the ribbon into four inch strips. Twist to fold and either super glue or use a safety pin.  

The next item I really enjoyed making! I found these after a long search in Hobby Lobby! The metal bookmark is made with wire (fishing line is acceptable and cheaper. Your hubby won't mind! Lol), and plastic beads found in the jewelry department. You can add any type of charm on the end for your cause.  

What awareness holds that special place in your heart?
