All of us, at one point in our lives, will be either directly or indirectly affected by cancer. The American Cancer Society does a fantastic job on educating the public and raising money for cancer research. Hopefully, a cure or better treatment options will be available within our lifetimes, but they need our help. Hence, the proceeds of the sales for each of these keychains will be donated to my school's Relay for Life team to help in the search for a cure.

These keychains are perfect for busy moms, teachers and survivors or fighters alike. They make excellent "just because" gifts, stocking stuffers and teacher appreciation gifts.

Gifts for Those Who Use Sign Language!

I just received this comment from a customer about her keychain and the one she bought as a gift:

"I love mine, as do the two lady-friend teachers I gave one for Christmas. One is a sign language interpreter and she is thrilled that she won't have to stop and put her keys down
to talk with someone. She was thrilled, so I felt pretty good that I gave her something pretty AND useful, that also helps fund Relay for Life. A triple WIN, in my book!"


What fantastic news! These keychains would be the perfect gift for anyone who speaks in Sign Language. Thank you for your wonderful idea and feedback. I'm so glad you like your keychains and thank you for the time you took to give me the feedback.

A Much Appreciated Correction and Duke Keychains!

I was very nicely corrected by a prospective customer that uterine cancer ribbon was peach instead of the color I had listed. One of the problems I encountered when setting up the Keychains site was the amount of conflicting information out there and I'm thrilled the woman thought enough to correct me. Not only will I gratefully fix the error, but look out for peach keychains coming soon!


Today saw the delivery of three Duke keychains and one motorcycle awareness keychain.

Keep us in mind for all of your Christmas shopping needs. Orders mail out within 24 hours of placement.

Gift Giving Made Easy!

This customer emailed to specifically request UGA keychains. Done! Thanks to the customer for supporting Relay for Life!

Saturday, November 20, 2010

How Have We Done?

I was asked yesterday how many keychains we've sold over all since we started. It was a good question! We started taking orders in July of this year and since then, we've sold 166 keychains to date.

The response has been wonderful and we're still going strong. The holidays are just around the corner and we're a great one-stop shopping experience for those small gifts you need to buy, but don't want to spend a lot.

Plus! You get a free fob when you place an order of 5 or more keychains. You can't go wrong there!

Don't forget our new Collegiate keychains. Email keychainsforacause@gmail.com for more information.

How Did I Do, Football Fans!?

I got in a special order for several keychains representing a certain NFL team's colors if and only if, I could make them to where they'd be recognizeable. I made up a sample to show them, but wanted to get feed back first to see if I had hit the mark.

So....what NFL team does this keychain represent? First two people to email keychainsforacause@gmail.com wins a free fob, either of this design or one of our available collegiate keychains!

Progress Report on a Large Order

We were lucky enough this last weekend to receive our largest order ever of 60 keychains for a woman's youth group and general Christmas gifts. This is also going to be the first time an order doesn't ship out the very next day, but I'm sure it's understandable. ;)
Today is the first day I'm working on them and have gotten 15 done so far with an additional 6 more to do before I call it a night. Thank you so much for supporting our Relay for Life team. You can purchase any of the designs you'll see in these updates by clicking on the "order your keychains here" link at the top of the page.


If you'd like to place an order for your office or youth group, don't hesitate! Email me and we can work out special pricing for large orders like these.

University of Georgia (UGA) key chains... Again!

I've spent all season looking for UGA ribbon and sure enough, I found it today!

Here are our two newest designs for University of Georgia Bulldog fans:
This one has stripes and a black 'super G' and at the loop there is a red bulldog square also. This fits the thick 1.25 inch cotton webbing.

This one is red and black blocked sections lined with the 'super G' logo. It's on the thinner 1 inch nylon webbing.
I hope you'll like them as much as I do! There were only a few rolls of ribbon available, so get them while you can!
In the next weeks you'll see Auburn, Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, Georgia Tech, USC, and Illinios ribbons for keychains on the website. I'll post them as available as soon as I can.
Have a college you'd like to see represented in a keychain that I haven't already mentioned? Just email me and we'll make it happen!!

Where it all Began

Enough can't be said......GO FALCONS!!!!! I've been a Dacula Falcon for over 12 years now and I couldn't imagine a better school in which to teach (notice I didn't end that sentence with a preposition!). This keychain was made by request from a teacher and she went a step further and put her 100th anniversary pin on it. Yes, Dacula schools celebrated their 100th anniversary last year. Many schools can celebrate their first year, but not many their 100th. The blue and gold remains a statement significant of our dedication, our loyalty and our perserverence that cannot be matched.

Congratulations, Dacula, and may the Falcons soar above all else.

Custom keychains in your school colors are readily available. Just email keychainsforacause@gmail.com and request your colors for an individual invoice.

A Wonderful Gift!

A long time friend, but sadly, one we see far too infrequently, has done an amazing thing for Keychains for a Cause. She had some left over ribbon from craft projects that she offered to send me. I was thrilled. I received the package today and was just overwhelmed by her kindness, for not only was there the bag of random lengths of ribbon,


but laying on top of that bag were oodles and oodles of full spools of ribbon.
Some designs I've been drooling over for ages and just never have bought. I especially love both the brown and black giraffe patterns. What makes everything infinitely more wonderful was in the bag of ribbon was the dark, dark blue ribbon I had been needing to complete the Auburn keychain order I got in this weekend.
Something told me not to go out to buy that ribbon! Thank you, Suzanna. You've done a wonderful thing and we'll most certainly put the ribbon to fantastic use. I'll try to get some of it on the website as soon as possible, knowing that it will never all fit on there. It's that fantastic.

Addressing a Concern on Crosses

I've had a few emails addressing concerns on designs with crosses given that the ribbon, when sewn in one piece, makes the crosses on half of the keychain appear upside down. There's a solution for that!

Each keychain with a design that could appear upside down when looped around the wristlet will be cut and resown like in the picture below (my finger is over the seam) so that the crosses or other design will not appear upside down.


Keep us in mind for stocking stuffers! The holidays are right around the corner.

More Custom Orders Delivered!

One of our fabulous Family and Consumer Sciences teachers placed an order with us this week consisting of four styles of keychains that she requested in the colors of her friends' schools. Because our teacher ordered five or more keychains, she also received the fob in her right hand free with her order!
We'll be showing you those designs in the coming days on the blog here, but not necessarily on the order page since they were custom designs, but always know that you can email us at keychainsforacause@gmail.com and special order any combination of colors you'd like. School pride is easy to show with our keychains!
