Some Good and Some Sad News

For those who follow my blog (and thank you by the way), you may remember that last month I participated in the Hope for God's Children launch to benefit Elizabeth Pitts'; a ten-year-old who was battling cancer.

I'm sorry to report that Elizabeth passed away on Thursday. Please keep her family in your prayers. I can't even begin to imagine what they are going through right now.

On a brighter note- the HGC group far exceeded their goal and raised almost $6,000 to help with Elizabeth's medical bills. Thank you to everyone who participated as a seller or a buyer.

Unfortunately there are too many children battling this awful disease. HGC will be planning another launch to benefit another family sometime this fall. You can learn more about HGC by clicking on the box at the top of my blog.

I have been taking a clay break the past few weeks and have been enjoying the summer. I almost have my studio cleaned up and organized again. I seem to clear out and rearrange everything at least once a year. LOL

The clay is starting to call to me again. :) I should be back creating in the next week or so. If there is anything you would like to see for Fall or Christmas, let me know and I will see what I can come up with. ;)

Have a great 4th of July!

Elizabeth's launch wraps up today!

It's time to go to the zoo!

June 3rd- June 17th, Hope for God's Children Corp. is hosting a Custom Boutique Clothing, Accessories, Home Design, Business Products and Art Benefit Launch for Elizabeth Pitts and her family!




Elizabeth, 10, was diagnosed with a brain tumor on October 17, 2006. On July 24, 2009 she was diagnosed with pre B cell ALL Leukemia. On November 24, 2009 she had an allogenic stem cell transplant to cure her ALL. She has no fear and is full of faith that she will be cured of cancer.

Please pray for us. We are praying this current setback is minor in the scheme of things and will get us back to our Season of Living in no time. We are burdened with the fears that we will eventually succumb to in the future. We know what fate we are facing, we just don't know when. Please pray for guidance, faith, and strength. (Melanie Pitts)



As of June 3rd, many talented artists and designers had listed more than 80 benefit items for sale on both Ebay and Etsy! To find these items you can search for "HGC Elizabeth".

The Critter Company is participating in this launch. Please search my Etsy Shop for items titled "HGC Elizabeth".

ALL proceeds from the sale of these items will be donated to Elizabeth Pitts family to help with medical bills.

I will be listing some new items over the next few days, so please check back to see what is new!
