**********************************************************************************

As you may know, we (Team Etsy Little Rock) had the privilege to participate in the new Etsy-Kiva collaboration.  First, we became a trustee for Team ELR member, Ximena of Ximena and Elle www.etsy.com/shop/ximenaelle in March of last year.  We recently became a trustee for another Team ELR member, Jayme of Lulu & Livvy www.etsy.com/shop/LuluandLivvy.  Jayme is still fundraising for her Kiva Zip loan and has only until January 25 to raise the remaining 83% she needs to reach her fundraising goal.  Please consider lending (not donating) and reposting this link http://zip.kiva.org/loans/2520/i/e0q. As a team, we've also become a Kiva lender for two artists so far (and will be lending to our third soon).  The first is Uma Devi Group of India http://www.kiva.org/lend/591840 and the second is Brandy of Bella Vita Jewelry, Team ELR member (https://zip.kiva.org/loans/2074).  We are so thankful to be apart of this amazing project!

**********************************************************************************

Remember to post your new listings, treasury creations and features, as well as other items you'd like us to repost on our Facebook wall at www.facebook.com/EtsyLittleRock.  Lastly, remember we encourage our team to use tag etsylr in their listings to help us easier find them - please consider adding at least one ELR team member to your treasury creations - this is the easiest way to help our fellow team members possibly reach Etsy front page one day!
