Things are moving forward and we've a feeling they are going to be moving quickly! As of the beginning of 2014 we have raised just enough money to actually make the move we've been working on. The next steps are to:
- Get our current house ready for the market and get it listed
- Begin seriously looking at houses to purchase
- Begin the "purging" before the "packing"
- Move the Fall/Winter ellaWEAR Jewelry Collection out
The last bullet point about the ellaWEAR Jewelry has been a point of discussion for some time. The Fall/Winter Collection, its parties, and general sales provided a wonderful boost to our efforts to raise money for "Ella's House Fund". We would love to continue this project! We do, however, have to be realistic about what is coming up and how best to use our energies.
Our thought is to put the ellaWEAR Jewelry Collection personal parties on hold until we actually purchase a house and move in. At that point we are going to need more funds to make the necessary modifications for Ella. This is where ellaWEAR Jewelry can once again be implemented using the ellaWEAR Parties.
So for right now we are looking to clear out the current ellaWEAR inventory and have marked everything 50% off until the inventory is cleared. Once we are in a better position in terms of time and energy, we will begin a brand new collection and start up the parties once more!
One thought for anybody would be to have an Online ellaWEAR Party to help move the current inventory out! All proceeds would still benefit "Ella's House Fund" and of course the host earns free jewelry!
There are a few fundraisers being planned for the Spring of 2014 and once we have more details we will post them for you. In the meantime, please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we put our current house on the market and start the process of finding a house that will better suit Ella's growing needs. And if you would like some beautiful jewelry, remember, it's all 50% off!
Thank you so very much for all of your support. We seriously could not have gotten where we are without everyone's help...we're making excellent progress and are hopeful and excited for what's to come!
