Today can be summed up by one incredible listing that we had in the Craft Hope for Haiti Etsy shop to benefit Doctors Without Borders.
Behold the Tom Selleck pillow! Unfortunately it sold before any of us on the Craft Hope behind the scenes team could snatch it up. But we were all keeping our eye on it, hoping at the end of the day when we had time to shop that it would still be there. Alas. Tom is gone.
Today was an AMAZING day. We have buyers and sellers from all around the world. Twitter is on fire with mentions of Craft Hope and the shop. Matt Lauer hasn’t called yet, but we are holding our breath.
So are you ready for this? So far we have raised $7,000 for Doctors Without Borders. In TWO DAYS! You are all amazing!! Thank you all so very much for your patience as we get items listed and get back to you. This has turned into a huge undertaking and we are moving as fast as we can. This entire community is making a difference!
There are now so many of our friends behind the scenes. Many crafty mamas that you all know and love, typing as quickly as possible listing items. We are all spread out around the country working for you.
Here are the mamas behind the scenes at Craft Hope:
Chris :: Pink Picket Fence
Beki :: Artsy Crafty Babe
Courtney :: The Woodland School
Marjorie :: Auburn Doll House
Sarah :: Green Clogs
Molly :: A Foothill Home Companion
And moi :: chikaustin
If you get a chance, pop in and tell them thank you. You are keeping all of us very busy, but it’s a good problem to have don’t you think?!?
I found this following quote rather appropriate for what this community is all about…
“The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.” — Nelson Henderson
Spread hope.

I know ya’ll don’t know me from Adam but if there’s anything I can do to help behind the scenes, please let me know. I have lots of free time on my hands these days!
That is one of my fav quote of all times! Thanks to Craft Hope team! What an awesome idea this is! I am so honored to be a part of it! My 8 yr old is trying to think of something she can make for Craft Hope. We will see what we can come up with in a few days.
Hooray!!! thanks for the updates!
$7000 is amazing! Well done to all of you for all the hard work!
This is amazing! Well done! I would love to donate something, will try and think of something in the next couple of days.
I don’t know what it is exactly that has made me a bit teary reading this; is it the awesomeness of the Tom pillow…? Is it the grateful feeling I have to everyone who is participating in this wonderful & deserving project…? Is it that perfect, thought provoking quote to finish…?
I don’t know, but whatever it is, I like.
Thank you!
