Hurricane Katrina

Please visit the blog over at CraftJoint and read Mallory's entry to read about Mallory's experience and get a more personal account of how badly hit the people in that area of the country are. The entry also contains the url's for charitable organizations on the ground in Louisiana and Mississippi.

Mallory is a co-blogger at CraftJoint who also runs Dismantled Designs, and CraftJoint's founder, Shareta, has started a fund to help Mallory and her friends and family, many of whom lost their homes and/or businesses. You can donate to it via the CraftJoint community blog. I already emptied the sad balance of my Paypal account into it, but the $49.46 that's in the fund as of this writing isn't going to go far, I think.

As well, Craft Revolution is sponsoring a sort of "crafts drive", proceeds of which are going to the American Red Cross.

Thanks,
Jenie
