"I Can't Play today!!!" non-prof stuff
May 28th 2007 18:13
i have a new cross for soldiers i'm making and i need to get as many done as i can. I have one from before taht i have just finished. it says "Now a Soldier for God" but then i thought for a long time about that. The fact that not everyone believes in God, so i knew all along i needed a new phrase for a second cross for those that don't believe. i came up with it last night and almost have the whole cross done. it says "A Soldiers Sacrifice!" it has the red white and blue flag on it, and is done in the green camaflauge. i LOVE it. so These will be donated to families who have lost a child in this or any war.
next, i found out on E-bay, which i have a business account for, That you can sell stuff under "Non-Profit." it shows on your pages with a ribbon, taht you are a non profit. now i'm donating the soldier cross, the roadside crosses, the murdered victims, breast cancer, MS, aids, and all those humanatarien crosses, but i have aline of crosses for mother, daughter, son, father ..... and those will all be sold for "Remembrance memorials" or "Gardens". i still have to check with cemetaries to see if my demensions are too big, before i advertise them for there. i could maybe make these smaller, since they just say one word, instead of a whole phrase like the others, but they do have art work drawn on them. Like daughter has horses and such. i don't see these soo much for grave yards, but more for a Remembrance Gardenin your yard. atleast tahts what i would do with mine. putting little things in it for each child or special person.maybe i'm just weird. we planted a certain tree for each of our children on their thirteenth birthday. Then we moved, but the tree's are still there. put a tree, maybe a little pond. it could be a realy pretty remembrance spot.
The proceeds for these will go to crosses4acause. i also have a new idea for shirts for my cross crew. i will pick three crosses. The soldier for sure, then maybe the DUI, and say "Breat cancer." not sure which three for sure yet, but have all three in a row on the front of the shirt, looking just like the real cross, with our website underneath. i'd like to sale some on e-bay and our website. i'd also like to have some magnets for our vehicles made for advertisement. i'm just using puppy money tahts comming in, for this such stuff, and or if i can get some sold on e-bay.
we're getting there!!! it's exciting. i have to get off here because i'm dying to paint some of these so i can get out and do field work. taking pics of the newest ones i have completed. i'll share pics when i get some done. i sooo love doing this. so i need to figure out how to switch up the newsletter a bit to put more focus on the soldier cross for especialy between now and july 4th since it's all about the soldiers. pluss we're at war and more and more soldiers are loosing their lifes. i want to do something in remembrance. when breast cancer and all those such have their holidays, i want to focus a little stronger on that cross. switching the newsletter each time. i still need to make the "Father" cross design.i was thinking a hunting or fishing design. eventualy i'll have a few designs for each. i also need a "Down in the Line of duty" for police and firemen crosses. do not have a design for those as of yet.
ok, i can't play today. gotta get this thing ready to realy start to launch.

sounds like a wonderful idea that would spread like wildfire among the troops and their families!
Good luck with it!
Take care.
Your zen buddy,

i see the commercial for the girl collectiong the cards for our tropps and it makes me excited. she started her non prof 3 years ago. now she's on commercials all over, she met the president, counrty stars, and went on CSI seeing it filmed. i just think it's cool these BIG people are stepping up to suport her cause. she works with the ones here, mine works with families of those killed. it's a great cause, all of it.i just want to make a difference while i'm here. give!!
