A little tidbit about kraftykateskreations from the artist:
My daughter and I love animals, and etsy, so donating is a big priority to us. Each month we will donate the featured organic catnip toy of the month to charity. Our two kitties inspire us everyday. We caringly grow our own organic catnip, and use only the freshest leaves in every toy. Many thanks to Etsyforanimals for helping our friends in need. =^..^=
AerieDesigns has recently donated a crochet pattern for her unique PIXIE HOUNDS Greyhound Dog Dolls.
A little tidbit about AerieDesigns from the artist:
When I adopted my first Greyhound I wanted to find a way to help more Greyhounds find homes. That's when my Life Size Greyhound Crochet Pattern and my Etsy shop was born. A portion of every sale in the shop is donated to benefit Greyhound Adoption. I now offer patterns for several other dog breeds, dog sweaters and pretend food. And I'm a proud member of "Etsy for Animals". ---
Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for all you do for EFA!

the weekend before Thanksgiving.
How:
Particpating stores donate an item and become part of
the Treasure Hunt. Each store will be given a short text clue to

*Anyone who wants to run EFA promotions is welcome, just let me know first*
WOW...Take a look at this line up...
Our first creation is the biggest star of November. This set of 3 Turkey Cards by mvegan5 (our very own star!) has vibrant, autumn colors featuring a photo of a painting by mvegan5.
The cards are 5"x7" are cream colored and blank inside signed by the artist. Mvegan5's Cards, Paintings, Prints, and Vintage Component Jewelry are inspired by nature and animals.
Next we have a small framed watercolor titled, "Chiquito" by thecitylover.
An adorable little yellow chick on blue, with a white border, is under glass in a brass colored frame. It measures 2.5" x 3", Circa 1983 - 1985 by Rocio PindterSan Miguel De Allendeof Guanajuato Mexico.
So pretty in pink.....This necklace features a vintage fuschia lucite swallow birds hanging from an 18 inch silver finish ball chain. Birds measure 2.5 inches in width.
Pulpsushi says:
I started in June 2006 after being inspired by my creative friends to get off my toosh and bring my ideas to life. It started with marble magnets, notebooks, jewelry, and hair accessories. Through some inspiration, I found new and fun ways to express myself and at the same time, provide some kitschy cuteness to others. I'm always looking for funky charms and beads for necklaces and earrings to make so there is plenty to go around!
And our final feathered friend is this stunning work of art, titled Great Egret by art2artcolorado. The painting is 11" x 14" created with Acrylic on Paper-Collaged Premium Canvas. Art2artcolorado has captured the beauty and grace of the great egret in bright colors and pastel tones. This portrait is ready to frame.
A bit about art2artcolorado: Art2ArtColorado has a variety of progressive artwork ranging from digital painting & collage, mixed media work, paintings on canvas and 3D aceo's.
Be sure to stop in at the etsyforanimals shop and see all of the items, pick something up and know that you are helping DART, a mobile command post and emergency response team for disaster situations, such as fires or earthquakes. In response to the devastating fires in Malibu and throughout Southern California, spcaLA's Disaster Animal Response Team (DART) has leapt into action!
EFA are featured in another Treasury. All this is good news as it raises our profile in the run up to our Treasure Hunt on the 17th and 18th of November.
Don't forget, if you are a seller who has already sent something for the EFA goody bag promotion, this can be utilised as part of the EFA prize draw.
We have got some good responses so far from our Street Team, don't forget you have until midnight Monday Etsy Time to get yourself involved by emailing us at efapromo@gmail.com !!

I make all kinds of crafts and like to work with different materials - polymer clay, crochet, papier mache, paper, paintings, etc. I make many cat related things - my most popular items are my polymer clay cats - and cats is what the money is for... All the money I make from my crafts is destined to spay and neuter street and abandoned cats!
