Japan!

I have a love affair with Japanese culture - my boyfriend and I have been dying to visit the land of the rising sun for years now. And being a geologist by trade, the news of the earthquake devastation in Japan has really hit me.

Everybody wants to help, and there are some awesome people out there doing some amazing things. Oktak is donating 50% of their proceeds to the American Red Cross relief efforts in Japan and, holy crap, this stuff is cute.



The Craft blog has a list of crafting auctions for Japan relief here if you're looking for other ways to help. Or you can donate directly to Red Cross and skip the middle man.
