Rebuild Rowlett!

First off, I just want to say how AWESOME my hometown is! Yesterday, mom and I went to volunteer our time at First United Methodist Church (where my mom goes to church). This was our second day up there after taking cases of water to help out those who were displaced and those who were working to take supplies and clear debris. It has been so overwhelming to see this community come together and donating their money, belongings and time.


This afternoon I finished a couple of Rowlett themed packs. All of the profits from these packs will be donated to organizations through Rowlett Recovers. Information on the different organizations can be found here.

Rowlett Tornado

Today's post is a bit of a somber one. 2 days ago, December 26, my hometown of Rowlett, TX was hit with a tornado that destroyed (as of now) 148 homes completely and left over 854 homes with some kind of damage. Thankfully, my families houses and neighborhoods were not hit and remain completely undamaged, but there are a lot of families who have lost everything and have been displaced.
