Etsy For Animals Article!

I haven't been as active here, (or at Etsy, Flickr, and my other favorite sites) as I recently tore a muscle in my lower back, so it's been difficult to sit for long periods of time, so that's why I haven't been on the computer as much.

But in better news, two of my "Etsy For Animals" friends, WHSKR and Mishkat, wrote a wonderful article about Etsy For Animals (also known as EFA), and I wanted to share it here in my blog since they did such an amazing job on it, and also because Etsy For Animals is an Etsy street team that I am very proud to be a member of!

Here is a direct link to the article: http://www.etsy.com/storque/section/craftivism/article/etsy-pets-worldwide-animals-with-efa/1715/

I hope you will take some time to read this article and learn more about EFA (accompanied by some super cute pictures of EFA members pets and art). In the article, I am the "cool cat artist" mentioned in the first line, and also included is a photo of my ACEO of my "October" cat painting! It's so nice to be featured amongst so many talented and compassionate EFA artists there. Each EFA artist has their own unique style of art, we live all over the world, and yet we are all bonded by our passion for helping animals!

Many thanks to WHSKR (Marjorie) and Mishkat (Katie) for writing the EFA article, which helps spread information and exposure on how EFA members are committed to helping improve the welfare of our animal friends through our arts and crafts.

And a special thanks also to another one of my EFA friends, Michele (mvegan5) who started and created the Etsy For Animals team! Thank you Michele for all your hard and loving work that you do for EFA, and for bringing Etsy artists together through your group so that we can all be a part of making positive changes to animals in need!

For more info on Etsy For Animals, please visit the EFA shop at: www.etsyforanimals.etsy.com

or at the EFA blog at: www.etsyforanimals.blogspot.com

All items at the Etsy For Animals shop have been donated by EFA members, and 100% of the proceeds (less S&H) go towards the EFA charity of the month. You can also type in 'efa" or 'teamefa" in the main search box at Etsy.com to find members shop who donate percentages of their sales to Etsy for Animals.

To me, shopping at the Etsy For Animals shop and/or from artists' shop who are EFA members is a win-win situation. You get lovely and creative handmade arts and crafts, and get to help animals in the process too!

Til later,

Cheers from Catland!

Thank you, Jane!
WHSKR (Marjorie) actually wrote the article - I just did a little editing - but I think it looks great!

Hi Katie - Thank you my friend for your comment, so nice to see you here at my blog! :) And thank you as well clarifying that Marjorie wrote the article, and that you did the editing. You both did an amazing job on the EFA article. It was so great to see the EFA article in the Etsy Storque and I really enjoyed reading it and seeing everyone's amazing art too! YAY for EFA!

Give your kitties some kisses from me, and I hope you all have a purrrrfect day ;)

Hi Jane - I also forgot to say that I hope your back heals quickly! Best to you and Ms. Abbey :)

Thank you Katie for your well wishes about my back, I really appreciate that, you're such a sweetie! :)

My back still hurts so much & my doc told me it would take about 4 weeks to heal, which feels like forever. But I start physical therapy tomorrow for it, so hopefully that will help heal the muscle & help with my pain too.

Best to you as well, & your feline family too! I'm lovin' your profile pic here. Makes me smile :)

Much <3 from - J and Ms. A
