Highlight YOUR Charitable Events
Makers by nature are also givers. You're generous in many ways and we want to highlight that!
Here are two cateories of "Giving" where you can share your activities. By including your charitable acts here, you'll inspire others to do the same and get eyes on an organization/cause that is dear to you.
LISTING YOUR INFORMATION HERE IS FREE!
DOLLARS DONATED
If you donate financially to a cause through your handmade products, let's share that news. It can be proceeds from all or a select product that you sell, an event you put on that raises funds for an organization, or any other creative activity that raises money.
Submit your information through the link below and you'll be included on our Dollars Donated activity form. It's free and gives you and your selected charity a shoutout!
GIFTS OF KINDNESS
Not all donations are financially based. We also give our time, skills and donated products. If you have a project that gives back to the community through handmade, let's share it with others. Senior center projects, handmade offerings to orphanages, etc.

Tell us about a handmade memory that has left a special mark on your heart. Reflecting back on these items and relationships does your heart good - as does reading about others' experiences.
To share your memory, email sue@suemonhait.com and you'll be included in the memory listing.
"I made a paper flower wreath for my daughter-in-laws for their wedding showers. They also saved them to hang again for their First Anniversary (paper). I've also made them for friend's daughters! I recently had one of them send me a pic of hers that she still hangs on her nightstand. She said she loved it. It made me feel valued ..."
- Diane Behnen
"My favorite handmade gift was given to me when I was 7. My late mother game me a dollhouse with handmade dolls, food she crafted out of polymer clay, and furniture she built all to look like Little House on the Prairie. I no longer have the house but I have all the pieces that she made - down to the accurate, handstuffed feather bed mattresses ... I still love it."
- Sarah McBridge Wagner
"I learned leather craft as a kid as a 4-H project. Certainly remember setting around the kitchen table with my besties, learning from their mother. We giggled and joked as we just kept hammering out our coasters or whatever was our project for the year. For me it evolved into a hoby that stuck adn a side business. Still love giggling with those girls."
- Molly Armstrong
