Before tomorrow's Sneak Attack...

... we're asking you to help someone... but this time it's not a new Etsy shop owner. Please consider making two quick clicks to help a little member of our extended Sneaker family win a new wheelchair. Click here and then "like" the photo of Jorden, who is actually related to our dear friend LaRue. Here's a picture of Jorden decked out in Fourth of July finery, and some details she gave us are below.
















"This is Jorden, my cousin's son. I have asked for prayers for him previously, as he has many health issues. Convaid is giving away a new wheelchair to the child with the most 'likes' [in their Facebook contest]. Jorden is outgrowing his current chair, and the new chair would allow him access to areas that he can not get to conveniently now. Please click on the 'like' button associated with Jorden's photo. A comment would also be helpful."


If for some reason the link above is not working for you, you can also access it through the Handmade Movement's Facebook page - it's our most recent status update. Thank you very kindly; it means a lot to us that our "Etsy Family" is so willing to help people - in so many ways.

P.S. See you Saturday at 11 a.m. for the next Attack on undiscovered Etsy shops!

FUN SNEAK TREASURY FROM
K5Art



SNEAKY TREASURY REVIEW BY
SummerWilson8

Meet Kristen

One of our newer members, Kristen from K5Art is sponsoring the Sneak Attack today at 6pm.

Recently I asked Kristen how she decided on the name of her Etsy shop.

My favorite item to make jewelry out of is a Scrabble tile so it seemed fitting to incorporate that into my shop title. Since my name starts with "K", I chose to use the "K" Scrabble tile. The value of the "K" Scrabble tile is 5 and what I create is art. So when it all comes together, "K5 Art" is who I am and what I do!

And you should see some of the Scrabble tile art that Kristen creates. You will love it! Like this one, just perfect for Valentine's Day. You can put a little note inside.



Be sure to pick your favorite scrabble tile creation from Kristen's shop and then come join us as we get ready to meet new 'victims' of our fun sneak attack at the Sneak Attack thread!

Meet Virginia

Today's sneak attack is being sponsored by Virginia of Made By Hand

I love people who crochet as I do, it's a wonderful connection :D

Virginia says about her crocheting:

I've been crocheting since the third grade. Creativity runs in the family; our family tree contains artists, musicians, excellent cooks and caterers, and crafters of all sorts. In my own way, I'm just carrying on the family tradition!

In honor of Valentine's Day coming soon, Virginia has made this beautiful wine bottle cover complete with beads!



Check out all the other great crocheted items in Virginia's shop! And then come and chat with us at our Sneak Attack thread as we get ready for a fun sneak attack at 4pm Etsy time.
