So I went on a search to find a school in need and was touched by Ms. Sandler’s story. She’s a </span><span class="text_exposed_show">teacher in Manchester, Connecticut seeking money to purchase a bulletin board to display her student’s sewing projects.<br/><br/>Displaying the student’s work will help promote the sewing courses offered at Manchester High and hopefully get kids interested in a really fun profession =)<br/><br/>So I’m starting small (and hoping that this snowballs into something big!). This week I promise to donate $10 from each leather tassel sold in my Etsy shop (<a href="http://www.cravebycrv.etsy.com/" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.cravebycrv.etsy.com">www.cravebycrv.etsy.com</a></a>) to this cause. Any tassel, any size, any color, I’ll donate (they’re my best seller). <br/><br/>I’m also challenging you to pay it forward. It will feel good =) Let’s help Ms. Sandler’s class reach their goal!<br/><br/>So share it, like it, tweet it, do SOMETHING! Please =) Click here to read more about Ms. Sandler’s story (and others) and to donate directly:<a href="http://www.donorschoose.org/project/specially-made-by/949951/?verify=-946557306" rel="nofollow
