THINKING OF GETTING A "TEACUP" - MICRO-MINI - POCKET-SIZED PIGGY????? by scampp

Wilbur, a "miniature" pig...at just a few weeks old.......NOW.....on the right, is the same pig at only 3 years old. visit http://www.scampp.com/TeacupPigs.html and watch the video and read some of the articles http://www.scampp.com/ Remember, do not believe breeders that tell you a pig will stay tiny. Breeders will often misinform you of proper feeding instructions for a potbellied pig in order to attempt to keep the pig tiny. However, a underfed pig is a very unhealthy pig and
can be aggressive due to being hungry all the time -

In Memory of Andrew--Beau Beau Bags-Rice Therapy Bag in Michael Miller First Sights--pig and scene by MLM

These little Beau Beau bags are perfect for those little 'beau beaus'. Okay, I know, what is a "beau beau"? Well, I grew up not saying "boo-boo" but "Beau Beau" (pronounced like Beau Bridges, the actor!) Don't ask me why, maybe its a southern thing....that's just how we said it!

This little beau beau bag is 5x5 inches and made from Michael Miller's First Sights cotton. Both serged and machine stitched for security. The bag is filled with rice and you can microwave the bag for 30 seconds at a time until it reaches the heat you'd like for your beau beau. Or, store it in the freezer as my son likes to use it as.

This bag is special. All net profits of the sale of this sale will be donated to a very special family, the Akin's. Here is part of their story--
"Andrew Preston Akin was born June 5, 2007. At 10 weeks he became very sick and almost died of liver failure. We soon learned that the cause was a genetic disease called HLH." His brother also carries this genetic mutation. You can read all about Andrew's story at http://www.carepages.com/carepages/babyandrewakin/patient and drop his family a message of hope.

All net profits of the sale of this sale will go straight to Andrew's family to help with the cost of medical, travel, and other expenses naturally acquired during the care of a sick child.

September 5th, 2009, Andrew has left this world and fought a hard fight. We will continue to create and sew in Andrew's memory, and for his big brother, Matthew, who is still fighting the good fight. please visit: www.mamaslittlemonkeys.etsy.com for more awesome products

Farm Sanctuary Our 2009 Walk Results Are In

The annual Walk for Farm Animals is one of Farm Sanctuary's most important outreach events each year. In addition to educating people about the realities of factory farming, the Walk helps raise money that supports our farm animal protection work, literally saving innocent lives with each dollar raised. Over the years, the Walk has helped to underwrite our mission.

But, honestly, this year we were a little nervous. The economy tanked, people were out of work. We just didn't know if our supporters would be able to be as generous with us as they always have been in the past.

Well, it's my absolute pleasure to be able to report that the Walk raised more money than any previous Walk, and we also had many more people participating.

We raised in excess of $330,000 (gross income), and more than 3600 people took to the streets to send an incredibly powerful message of hope for farm animals.

Every single person who participated — whether by organizing a Walk, taking part in a local Walk or donating to the Walk — has helped us make a difference in the lives of farm animals. And every dollar raised counts equally to support the work we do. for more about this awesome story or others like ti please visit: http://www.farmsanctuary.org/

valentines day tags by Lovetostamp

These are so awesome. How cute and creative.

These tags are truly one of a kind. Lovetostamp hand cut these tags from cardstock that she hand walnut stained! Since she did cut these by hand they are not the exact same size but the difference can't be told unless helf together in a stack! she also cut the corners so they are not perfect but I feel this gives it a great feel and look to them!

Measures 3 1/8 in x 2 1/4in! You will recieve a set of 6! The heart was stamped and embossed with clear powder then I ink over in the pink to fill in the areas that were white! I then inked the edges of the scalloped circle and the tags in red and finished them off with happy valentines day in black!! for more of Lovetosamps awesome items please visit: www.lovetostamp.artfire.com/
