Bullying Prevention Awareness Giveaway
Hi Everyone, it's time for another giveaway!
This week at QuellyRue Designs, we're promoting Bullying Prevention Awareness! Bullying affects so many people in so many ways. Bullying can be verbal, physical, or via the Internet. It can severely affect the victim's self-image, social interactions, and school performance―often leading to insecurity, lack of self-esteem, and depression in adulthood.
My first experience of bullying was in 3rd grade. There was a girl in my class who didn't like me for some reason, I don't know. We never spoke and to my knowledge I kept my distance from her. Besides, I was very quiet in school. I mainly only hung out with my brother, sisters and a small group of friends I pretty much considered family. One afternoon during recess, I was standing in front of my classroom and holding on to the doorway when she slammed the door shut on my hand. OUCH, I know! It happened so fast but I remember the look of anger on her face as the teacher reprimanded her. I wont share the graphic details of my injuries, only that I broke my pinky finger and I had a high fever for several days. My parents, who very upset over the situation, played an active role in making sure this never happened again in my school.
It saddens me to my core when I hear these cases of school/workplace shootings and children being driven to suicide or died because of bullying. It's time for bullying to end in society. Everyone has the right to be respected and the responsibility to respect others. For more information on bullying prevention, or if you suspect that someone you know is being bullied or is bullying others, please visit StopBullying.gov, and join the fight against bullying.
Here are my offerings for this week's Bullying Prevention Awareness Giveaway:
One Lucky winner will receive the Cascading Cowrie Shells Earrings and Necklace Set!

Cancer Awareness Giveaway
This week at QuellyRue Designs, we're promoting awareness for Cancer! There are so many different types of cancers, I had such a hard time narrowing it down to one. Especially since they are all equally important and several of my loved ones have been affected by difference forms of this deadly disease.
This giveaway is dedicated to my great-uncle, Fred, who passed away a few years ago from cancer. He had been fighting what believed was a common cold for several weeks. When he finally decided to see a doctor, he was diagnosed with throat cancer in stage 4 which had also spread to his nasal cavity. Two weeks later he passed away.
You can learn more about the different types cancers, find support and treatment, explore research, or get involved in the fight against cancer by visiting the website of the American Cancer Society.
Here are my offerings this week's Cancer Awareness Giveaway:
TWO lucky winners will receive one of my hand-painted Naturalbella Tote Bags.
Winner 1 will receive bag #1, and winner 2 will receive bag #2

Diabetes Awareness Giveaway!
Happy November, everyone! What better way to start this month than to have a giveaway!
I will be doing giveaways each week, but I want them to have more meaning than just giving stuff away, so I've decided to tie each giveaway with charitable causes I support. Each post will contain a blog button for the charitable cause of that week. When you click on this button you will be able to donate to these wonderful causes. You don't have to donate to be entered to win the giveaways, but each donation (large or small) will go a long way to helping these causes.
So now for this week's giveaway...Let's talk diabetes for a minute.
Diabetes is a disease in which the body is unable to produce or unable to properly use and store glucose (a form of sugar). Glucose backs up in the bloodstream — causing one’s blood glucose or "sugar" to rise too high.
Several of my loved ones are living with diabetes, and I had my own scare early this year at a routine checkup. There are different types of diabetes with different challenges, but the bottom line is, we need a cure.
I'm doing my part by offering a portion of proceeds from the sale of items from my shop to the American Diabetes Association, and I hope that you will also join me in supporting this cause.
