The Sunday Supplement - Artful Giving
Many artists on Etsy donate part of their proceeds to a charity that touches their hearts or supports a cause they believe in. Several of our Freethinkers team members have done the same!
TrueNatureYoga donates part of her proceeds to an organization called YogaHOPE. This organization was "created to facilitate access to yoga and meditation education specifically for women experiencing debilitating life transitions – those establishing independence from domestic violence, self-sufficiency from homelessness, recovery from drug addiction, or rehabilitation after mental illness." Learn more about their mission and ways you can help by visiting www.yogahope.org.
Zephi contributes 5% of her shops earnings each year to a different organization. This year she has chosen to donate to the Heroic Imagination Project (HIP). It is a program to help youngsters learn what it takes to be a normal person doing extraordinary things to help others. Get HIP and check out all the wonderful projects currently in the works at www.heroicimagination.org.
GoodOldBooks donates 50% of her shops proceeds to Doctors Without Borders and Heifer International. Both of these organizations are doing amazing work to provide medical care and economic sustainability in impoverished countries around the world. Check out these causes at www.doctorswithoutborders.org and www.heifer.org.
What could be better? Artists supporting others through their most beloved craft!

The Recipe Corner - Santa's Little Helpers
There won't be any bailout for Santa this year, but when he needs a pick-me-up while delivering all those presents, this does the trick. Try leaving some out Christmas Eve and look forward to a nice morning!
Topping:
1/2c brown sugar
1tsp cinnamon
2 level tbsp sour cream
1tbsp Kahlua or rum
1c coarsely chopped pecans
Dough:
1/2c butter, softened
1c brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1tsp vanilla
2c flour
1/2tsp baking powder
1/4tsp salt
Icing:
1/4c confectioner's sugar
1 1/2tsp water
Combine topping ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. Save some Kahlua for the chef.
Preheat oven to 375f. In medium mixing bowl cream butter and sugar together. Beat in egg and vanilla until fluffy. In a small mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add to butter mixture one half at a time, mixing until smooth.
Roll dough into roughly 2 dozen balls and place on cookie sheets. Make a wide shallow depression in each ball. Heap a small spoonful of topping on each cookie. Bake about 10-12 minutes until lightly browned.
Remove cookies from baking sheets to wire cooling racks. When completely cooled, mix confectioners sugar and water together and drizzle lightly over cookies.
Recipe compliments of zephi.
