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.

Wider Webbing is Here!

I just can't help myself! The suggestions keep rolling in and they're wonderful. One customer asked if the 7/8 inch ribbon could go on 1.25 inch webbing instead of the 1 inch in order to see the color of the webbing a bit more so....You've got it! The 1.25 webbing is cotton and all of the 7/8 ribbon can now either come on the original 1 inch nylon or the 1.25 inch cotton. Here's one of the breast cancer ribbons on the new 1.25 inch webbing.

I also had a special order for monkeys and a few other ribbons and still have ribbon left, so I'll post those up there as available until they're gone. Below is the awesome monkey ribbon on the 1.25 cotton. I also have two monkeys sewed on pink webbing that I made as extras! Monkeys are awesome in any form, aren't they? The 1.25 inch webbing will be up on the website by tomorrow evening. Don't forget to stop by and "like" us on Facebook!

The morning comes early. Sweet mushroom madness dreams.

New Sports Keychains!

We've added some more designs this week with a sports theme. We now have baketball, football, soccer and baseball designs for our key chains. The soccer one is pictured as a finished key fob. The others will of course will come sewn down as well for the final product, but to keep prices down, we make the keychains when they're ordered.
These sports keychains are perfect for team moms and dads, coaches and even for high school or recreational league players! Don't forget, for each 4 you order, you get a free key fob.

Autism Awareness Puzzle Pieces - FULL Ribbon

I really liked our origianal Autism Awareness ribbon as being smaller and understated, but for those who wanted the design to be more prominant, here's the newest Autism Awareness ribbon key chain we have to offer. The final product will, of course, be sewn down.

Pricesses and Bus Drivers

Today we're putting up two more ribbons. One for princesses everywhere and the other for bus drivers.

Honestly, bus drivers are underappreciated. We entrust the navagators of the big cheese and they often go overlooked when we thank our teachers during the holiday season. My boy's bus driver is male this year and I know he'll love the key fob. Don't hesitate to show your bus driver appreciation this year! The sparkle princess keychain is by request of some students at my high school. They're all so busy and many use the plastic spiral stretchy wrist key chains, but wanted something more personal and fashionable than a plastic key ring. Click on the link above that says "Order your keychains here" to go to the ordering page!

Teachers!

We love teachers! Either of these designs would make wonderful keychains for teachers' school keys for either yourself or your favorite teacher. It's a gift with a purpose, too! Proceeds help support The American Cancer Society's Relay for Life!

I [Heart] Vampires!

Well, maybe not in the garden, but Keychains for a Cause certainly does! Here's the newest ribbon perfect for Twilight fans or vampire lovers everywhere. Half size fobs in these will be slightly larger than others to accomodate one full "I Love Vampires" on each side.

If you look closely, you can see the heart is really an apple with a bite taken out of it. I suppose it is garden oriented. Garden of Eden, more like.

Come find us on Facebook!

Keychains for a Cause is on Facebook! Search for and "like" us if you will to help spread the word!

Again, listening to a suggestion (send me your suggestions! email thecorneryard@ymail.com), here are some Halloween or otherwise "teen angst-edgy" ribbons to go on the keychains. The stitching will be black on these and either black or white on the black ribbon.

I just love the one on the green. It's just obnoxious enough to be so cool! Think of teens or bikers or whomever and get those stocking stuffers ordered before your checkbook is tapped out come December, and remember, every keychain helps support Relay for Life and you get a free keychain with an order of four or more. You can't beat that. And.....My vampire and teacher appreciation ribbon just came in. Look for those soon! Thank you to everyone who has supported us. We're very grateful and want you to know we're not sketchy dudes. You place your order and it will be mailed out the next day the mail runs. I promise!

The Keychains for a Cause effort is going very well! I mailed out six more keychains and fobs yesterday, bringing our total sold almost to 30 which makes us excited. I'm working on making them their own page as well as a facebook page to help publicize them, but for now, I've added two more ribbon styles:

Black with white polka dots (the stitching will most likely be white) and white with black polka dots
I've also bought some Halloween style ribbon that I'll put up in the coming days. Hey, if the stores can decorate for Christmas in September, I can hock Halloween in August! I've also ordered ribbon good for Twilight fans, teachers, book lovers, and bus drivers, the last three being perfect holiday teacher and bus driver gifts!

This is the latest ribbon design we have to offer. It fills the keychain like the other white one, but the pink breast cancer awareness ribbons are much larger.
These guys are making great gifts with a purpose and are a way to show your support for cancer research as well. In case you haven't made it over to the Keychains for a Cause page, here's a quick look at the designs we have to offer. All come in full sized wristlets or half sized key fobs like the pictured purple one.

Head on over if you haven't already. Thanks for supporting our Relay for Life team!
