wooster needs a home.

growing up, my family always had a family dog ... a pet who was another member of the family. i never really, truly loved a puppy the way i love my sweet conor, though. since he came into my life, i have a new-found appreciation for these special members of society and the s.p.c.a has become more important to me. it is such a wonderful organization looking out for the well-being of animals. animals who rely on humans and can't always help themselves.

right now, wooster is looking for a home. he is such a sweet guy. can you be his happily ever after?

a holiday party that gives back.

i've recently developed an incredibly soft spot in my heart for the spca. of course the commercial with sarah mclachlan has always tugged at my heart strings, but since conor came into our lives, i seem so drawn to this organization and realize the special job they are tasked with.

i was thrilled when i got an order for this holiday invitation and saw that the client was requesting donations for the local spca instead of doing some kind of gift exchange.

as far as whimsical christmas invitations go, this is one of my favorites. the fact that it's requesting donations for the spca makes it that much more special to me.

i encourage you to check out the shelter wish list included on the invitation and make a donation to your local spca or other organization dedicated to helping animals who are unable to help themselves.
