Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Funding for my goal would allow me to not only let me sell my handmade artwork, but to provide a non-profit way for me to help the area children using arts and crafts that I believe is both positive and therapeutic to the young minds of children. I really believe that art is a way of providing therapy for kids that are experiencing stress, depression, anxiety and anger. I think it is important to also find a positive way to express themselves and often do not know how to do that in an appropriate way. I also think that an activity that gets kids creating rather than spending too much time on electronics or in front of a television is probably a good way to use their minds and lets them use other skills like communication and critical thinking. By using physical arts and crafts, I think kids might even make new friends that are also involved in the arts and crafts hobby and can build positive relationships that let them share their common love of these hobbies........................... I think that you should have the confidence that I can execute this project because it is my passion and my desire to do these things.You will know if I am being successful by checking on my website and business social media pages like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Pinterest. My website would have the products that I'd make and sell. I would also have a weekly blog and YouTube tutorials. I would also be able to share or email someone personally any information requested of me............................................. .. .... ..... . .................................................................................. .... ................................................................................ ........................ ........................................................... ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... .........................................................
