Discovered 31 Bits at Patchwork Santa Ana last week and am in love with their vision and products! From their website:

31 Bits is centered around using the creative art and entrepreneurship already present in the women. Our goal is to help get them out of poverty, provide consistent schooling for their children, and proper nutrition and healthcare for the entire family. We do this by creating an international market and a voice for the beautiful jewelry the women are already making. All of our products are bought directly from the women, are fair trade, are made from recycled paper, and are sold in boutiques across the United States. We envision that in two years we will expand 31 Bits to partner with local Non Government Organizations to initiate and fund community based projects directed by the needs and desires of the community.

We would love for you, and even ask you, to catch the vision of hope and join with 31 Bits and the women of Uganda.

I met the gals this week and am inspired by their entrepreneurship and gusto. I’d love to support them somehow with my art endeavors somehow in the future.
Here’s what I’m giving and getting for Christmas:
