A few of the items currently for sale in my etsy shop, Cadebee Creations

I am currently going through some updates, so if you see an item that would like to have shipped internationally, please let me know!

Coupon codes: SPRING10 for 10% off any $5+ purchase, SPRING15 for 15% off and $15 purchase

New items will be coming soon, so be sure to follow the shop :D

Let me begin by saying that I really don’t like asking for handouts. Even though I want a button maker to raise money for charities, I still can’t help but guilty.

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Cait. Before I begin, let me say that I am not the most articulate person, so please bear with me. There are two things that I would like to do in life and those are have my own (successful) business and help others. I am always looking for ways to do both and it recently occured to me that a button maker would be a very good investment. I could make buttons that I would sell to raise money for good causes as well as my business. The Plan The intial use would be to make buttons to support a charity close to my heart called Liam’s Lighthouse. I would be open to making buttons for other charities as well, although they would be taken on a case by case basis. Eventually, I would start making and selling buttons to support my business Cadebee Creations  and some artist friends in addition to fundraising and charity buttons. The two categories would be clearly marked as such so that you know where your money is going. Commissions may be opened at some point.

WARNING TO ANYONE LIVING IN OR NEAR SAN MARCOS TEXAS!!!!!

There is a man in a DARK GREEN MINI VAN who has been trying to abduct people. He pulls up next to you in his van and asks if you need a ride. If you say no, he will continuously harass you to get inside his van. So far he has only been after women, but you should still be wary even if you’re not. He has been after people of all ages- he tried abducting a ten year old, and recently my mom’s friend who’s in her early 40s. Reports have said that witness’ saw other victims inside the van. PLEASE IF YOU LIVE IN SAN MARCOS BE CAREFUL. I advise carrying a defense with you, and not going out alone at night or alone in a not busy part of town. The man is said to be middle aged, and white. His van is fairly new. Please reblog this to spread the word.

This is my sister, Jill. During the spring of 2011, she started experiencing strange symptoms, namely a strange “rotten mucus” scent that only she could smell. After many trips to the doctor, it was discovered that it was caused by these silent seizures that were causing a breakdown a myelin in her brain. She had been healthy her whole life, but that seemed to be changing.

Despite that, she was able to graduate from high school, start preparing for college, and even make things for an anime convention later that summer.

But she never got to go to college or the convention. As her health started to decline, she was sent from doctors in Orlando, to doctors in Boston, and finally doctors in Cincinnati. After conferring with each other, they diagnosed her with Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis, otherwise known as HLH; a rare disease. What made her case more interesting was the fact that while HLH is normally a blood disorder, it attacked her nervous system. In September 2011, she went to Cincinnati to receive a bone marrow transplant. Strangely enough, our sister Becca was diagnosed with the same disease at about the same time, although she had a more typical case with it attacking her blood.

Both my sister had their transplants that winter, which included chemo and drugs to suppress their immune systems. Becca’s transplant went smoothly and she quickly recovered and grew stronger. Jill however, continued to have a lot of health problems, which kept piling up upon each other. She lost her battle with HLH on July 18, 2012.

Losing Jill has been easily the worst thing in my life and I am not alone in my experience. Many HLH patients die because many doctors do not know about it, so they are often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed until it is too late.

My family is putting together a team to walk in the annual 5K sponsored by Liam’s Lighthouse. This will be our second year participating in this event. Our goal is not only to raise money for HLH research, but also awareness. We are looking for support in any way that someone can contribute, whether it be sharing the cause, donating money, or volunteering to join the team. Our monetary goal is $5,000 and our team name is “Team Blais’d.” This is only the beginning of what is going to be another battle against HLH. Jill, this is for you.

$180 has been raised so far, but we can do so much more! Please share, like the page, and donate to help out a good cause :)

I made a bunch of pendants from an old calendar when practicing my resin pouring. I’ll be selling each one for $7 and this includes shipping (U.S. only) and an 18 inch chain. If you’re interested, please send me a message with the number of the pendant you’d like (click photos to see numbers). Each pendant measures a little over an inch in diameter. 

More to come later.
