The Heart Project



We are very excited to be involved in an amazing collaborative project this month put together by the inspiring Jamie at Hands On: As They Grow.
The Heart Project is a tribute to Jamie's (incredibly adorable) 4 year old niece Ellie who was born with a congenital heart defect. This little girl has already undergone multiple open heart surgeries and faces not only further surgeries but also a transplant in the future.
The Heart Project brings together heart-inspired ideas from over 70 bloggers around the world and presents them in a beautiful book.
The book is available as a download free with every $5 donation made to AHA or as a full colour print version for $20 with proceeds going to the American Heart Association.
This project not only inspires play but also raises awareness and funds for a very worthy cause!
With over 100 kid-related projects inside and beautiful photographs it's a wonderful way to get inspired as well as make a donation. All photographs are of projects either created for or by kids and most have links to tutorials and posts.

Sneak peek at what you can expect to find inside:






How do you get your hands on a copy of The Heart Project?
The eBook is available using the button below with a donation to AHA of only US$5.

There is also a printed version of the book available for US$20 (US$5 profit donated to AHA):

US $20.00

Alternatively you can make a donation of any amount to AHA without purchasing the book:

The goal is to reach US$1000 or more by Valentines Day!
