Hi Lisette, No worries! I don't know if you had a chance to check out my site at all. But, basically, I started making items for people to purchase for themselves (or as gifts,etc). So, say...you purchase an item that I sell for $5. All I keep from that is the cost it takes to make that custom keychain, lanyard,etc. So, if it cost me $2.50 in supplies, then I donate the remaining $2.50 plus whatever is left from the shipping to the shelter. I keep a list of how much each order cost me to make, what I charged and what was donated. Then at the end of each month I send that total donation to the featured shelter that I list for that month. And yes, when I started this I gathered up a small list of shelters to start helping. My list has grown! I make contact with each shelter ahead of time to see if they'd like my help. If so, I gather up info and go from there! I also have a spot on the website where people can sign up for me to send out my twice-monthly news update if they want. Usually, that will also show somewhat the same info that you saw on the FML. Or, if I have new items, new charms, etc. to show everyone I will send out an email about that, too. If anyone specifically asks me to let the shelter mom know what their donation amount was, or if they want me to make sure that the shelter knows that they purchased something to help, I am always glad to make contact and do such thing.
