{Purposeful Giveaway} High Strung Designs

12.7.11

Two truths and a lie.
I’ve published a book.
I’ve got a tat.
I’m a singer.

I’ve got a turtle which will remain unphotographed with good reason. I’ve had things I’ve written published in a book way back when, but I’ve never published a book (maybe one day). And, yes, I like to sing. Claiming to be a singer is a bit of a stretch; right now, the church worship team is as big of a gig as I get.

But, I love music.

So does Jenny Woods.

Jenny runs Musicians on a Mission, a nonprofit located in New Jersey that has gathered musicians of all kinds together to have a unified purpose. Their mission is to utilize the power of music to create connection and inspire giving. They desire to raise awareness, sensitivity, and funds to support charitable organizations in their community through planned concerts and events.

They just celebrated their one year birthday. And, in that one year, they raised over $5,000 for 10 local charities. Their last event featured 9 female singer/songwriters as well as 6 poets and 3 visual artists and raised $1,500 for the nonprofit 180, Turning Lives Around, serving women who have been victimized from domestic abuse and violence.

Jenny quit her day job and now works as a singer/songwriter, director of Musicians on a Mission, and designer extraordinaire at High Strung Designs, an Etsy store repurposing guitar strings to make wearable art.

like my super cute dangle bracelet here
(note. it’s really hard to take a picture of your own bracelet on your arm. 
I so need Angela Braniff’s photography e-book)
Look at what else she sells–with part of the proceeds going to Musicians on a Mission to offset operating costs.

And, you have a chance here to win your very own bangle bracelet like mine.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
