Today is officially the end of my fundraiser for @youthfarmmn !!
In a last effort to raise money for the wonderful people @youthfarmmn and their programs, I folded 21 paper artichokes that can be used as electric tea lights holders or displayed as is. I made the paper myself, from blue jeans stock.
Three quirky handmade “torn burrito package” notebooks for sale to raise funds for @youthfarmmn !!
Here is some food for thought today!
