July 2009 Charity of the Month
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
http://www.cff.org
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common, fatal inherited disease affecting children and young adults. CF attacks primarily the lungs and the digestive system. In the lungs, the effects of the disease are most devastating; and with time, respiratory problems become increasingly severe. In the digestive tract, CF blocks the absorption of adequate vitamins and nutrients from food.
Newborn screening for cystic fibrosis wouldn’t even exist if it wasn’t for the foundation and all the donations they receive.
EFC Team donated $40.00 to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in July.

In July, EFC individual members donated
$10 to Kids Against Hunger

June 2009 Challenge Entry – Custom Bonbon Bear with Swirl by StarSapphire
What could be sweeter than a lil’ Bonbon Bear made just for you?
Pick the color bear, then pick the color swirl. Over 30 colors to choose from! Leave your choices in the notes to seller at checkout.
Please allow 1-3 days from time of payment for your Custom Bonbon Bear to be made. A picture of your bear will be emailed to you for approval before shipping. Your bear will arrive in a wrapper nestled in a little box.
♥Bonbon Bears are adorable hand-crocheted softies shaped like chocolate candies. They are approximately 2 inches (5 cm) tall and 2.5 inches (6.35 cm) wide; larger than traditional chocolate bonbons. They love being holiday presents and are also sweet and lasting souvenirs to take home from a party, shower, or date. Please contact me for quantity discounts.♥
While very secure, plastic safety eyes may present a choking hazard for children 3 years old and under.

June 2009 Challenge Entry – Full Moon Sterling Earrings by LazyDayz
Reminiscent of aged coins or full moons, you choose
These are simple and lightweight, with the hand cut Argentium Sterling Silver disks measuring approximately 5/8″ diameter. The disks were hammered against slate repeatedly for texture, then tumbled several times for shine. They hang from 1hand made Argentium Sterling Silver ear wires, also tumbled hard.
The entire piece has been heat hardened to activate the tarnish resistance element in Argentium.

Inspired by my daughter who is star crazy, and just in time for Independence Day. Made completely of Argentium Sterling silver (heat treated to activate tarnish resistance of Argentium), with all pieces fused, not soldered for a clean seamless look. The two piece item can create many looks, which goes hand in hand with my waste not want not philosophy.

The beads really spoke to me on this one! I purchased these gorgeous matte glass cylinder beads in a wide variety of colors; when the bright blue and lime green beads landed next to each other, I knew they would make a great combination. I had had the focal bead in my stash for a while, just waiting for the right pairing; this was it! I love how the texture and shine of the silver foil in it contrasts with the matte glass of the other beads. Gorgeous for summer (thus the name of Summer Brights Beaded Necklace), but a great pop of color year round.
