Scentsy Fundraiser!

Do you love Scentsy?  Well, now you have the chance to shop Scentsy while raising money for the DFW Cloth Diaper Project!  A local consultant is being very generous and donating 15% of the profits to the Project. 

The sale starts NOW and will end on Dec. 30. 2011.  If you want the order to be here by Christmas, you will need to order by Dec. 19.   Any orders placed after Dec. 19 could take up to 3 weeks to deliver (depending on the Christmas rush). 

You MUST shop from this link (https://jeannielewis.scentsy.us/Buy?partyId=61859564) in order for your purchase to go towards this fundraiser.

15% of the sales will be donated to the Project.  However, Jeannie has been very generous!  If sales are over $2000, she will donate 20%!  And if sales are over $4000, she will donate 25%!

This means that if we can collectively purchase $2,000-3,999 in sales now through Dec. 30 by shopping at this link, then we can pay for our Non-Profit Status in ONE fundraiser!  How awesome would that be?!

If you have any questions, please contact Jeannie Lewis at jeannielewis81@aol.com or 817-821-0999.

Shop Local: Holiday Special!!

Do you own a small, local business? 

Would you like more exposure to your potential local customers? 

I think we can help!


Black Friday and Small Business Saturday are BIG shopping days, but you don't need me to tell you that.  If you are having any sales and specials leading up to Christmas, we would love to advertise on our website!

How?  It's easy!

Just make any donation to the DFW Cloth Diaper Project! 

Haven't heard of this amazing organization?  They are a lending program for lower income families in the DFW metroplex.  Many families are having to choose between food and diapers, and the Project wants to prevent this from happening. 

You can donate money or an item for an upcoming auction.  All money raised from the auction will benefit the Project.  We are trying to raise money to become a 501(3)(c) Non Profit Organization.  Your donations will help us get that status, so that we can help more local families with their diapering needs!  In turn, you will get local exposure to boost your sales!

Please Note:  The auction will take place December 5-6.  You will be responsible for shipping to the winner.  The auction winner will contact us, then I will give your information to the winner.  I will let you know who the winner is so you can be sure you are sending the item to the winner. 

If you donate money or an item, we will add your information to a list on our website, with links to your online shop.  If you are feeling generous this holiday season and would like to donate both money and an item, then we will add you to the list, and include an Ad on our site through the end of the year!  Just provide us with an HTML code for the Ad, as well as the information below.* 

*If you are not able to create a "button" for our website, we can do that for an additional $10 donation to the DFW Cloth Diaper Project.  We will need the photo you want and the URL you want it linked back to. 


To participate, please email the following information to dfwclothdiapergroup at hotmail dot com:

Your Name
Contact Email
Business Website
What you would like to donate
Details for your holiday Sales (including dates)
HTML code for the Ad if you are donating both an item and money.*


Once we receive this information, we will add it to our website and advertise on our Facebook page.

The deadline is FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18 at 5:00 pm.  We will need your information and donation on or before this date in order to list you on our website.  The sooner you respond, the more exposure you will have!
