Kickstarter.com

     When I started this blog, I told myself that I would try to only publish positive stuff.  No whining or complaining.  It has been a while since I've written here, but that doesn't mean that I haven't been writing.  I gave myself a break from this, and hopefully now I'm back with a renewed positive attitude.  

     I have been frustrated about not having time to write the Friendship Quilt.  I think I have the solution.  I found a website called kickstarter.com.  This site is amazing!  Artists, musicians, writers, film makers,  etc. can go to this site to get funding for their projects.  The artist creates a project profile that includes funding/backing options.  With these options are rewards that the backers can receive as a thank you for helping to fund the project. Rewards are things like copies of the finished products like books or cds.   The rewards can be as simple as a thank you postcard. I have started creating my project's profile. I need to make a short video and then I will be ready to launch the page. The backers are people just like you and me.  Sometimes businesses will fund projects too.   I will be launching a campaign to tell everyone about this. The more who know, the better my chances of raising the money to complete the project.  It is an all or nothing kind of thing.  No money changes hands until the target date has been reached, and then only if the target monetary goal has been reached. Check out kickstarter.com for yourself.  There are some great projects going on right now.  Mine will be up soon under the name, The Friendship Quilt.  I'll keep you posted.
