Please note, due to licensing issues, I have had to change my charity and have, therefore, edited this post. You know how hooked I was on The Celebrity Apprentice this season, right? So, right around the time of the Apprentice season finale, I came up with a brainstorm: to create a signature piece of jewelry to benefit a not-for-profit and sell it through OpenSky in a friendly competition with other bloggers. I enthusiastically contacted Neida from Hip Fusion Designs who was sold on the idea … [Read more...]
