I hope that 2012 is going well for everyone. I will be updating and adding some new items to the blog in the next few days, stay tuned. This is the start of the school year for children in Guatemala. If anyone would like to sponsor a child, there are many that need sponsoring. Please go to www.mayanfamilies.org for more information.

As we say goodbye to 2011, I would like to thank everyone for their support of Julia's Jars. We would like to wish all our friends a very Happy and Blessed 2012!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Thanks to everyone for their purchases over the last 3 months! Not only did I raise the $400.00 for Maria but was able to send money to FFF to help single mother, Lucia, send money to help buy a bed for a little boy and his grandmother and purchase baskets for Christmas through Mayan Families!!! FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!!

And so the countdown begins!! Today is the last day to order Guatemalan items and have them arrive in time for Christmas! Please, email me at thekreminator@aol.com before you place an order.

Thanks to all of you, Maria was able to go to Guatemala City last week for a check up. She needs to continue applying gel to her face and wear the mask they made for her face before she has surgery. This will help to soften her scar tissue, making surgery more successful.

I posted these Christmas balls a few days ago but I wanted to show people how stunning they look on the Christmas tree! $15.00 each, includes shipping.

These just arrived! Gorgeous beaded, lined, zippered coin purses! The perfect size to slip a gift card into! $14.00 each, includes shipping! Both are SOLD!
