IS ~ National Dog Day ~ USA

August 26 is National Dog Day.

National Dog Day celebrates all breeds, pure and mixed and serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, either from public shelters, rescues and pure breed rescues. National Dog Day honors family dogs and dogs that work selflessly to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort. Dogs put their lives on the line every day - for their law enforcement partner, for their blind companion, for the disabled, for our freedom and safety by detecting bombs and drugs and pulling victims of tragedy from wreckage.

For this swap, you will create a craft item to honor dogs for your partner. This is a chance to use your crafting with a purpose. You can create a tote bag, stuffed dog, note cards, dog toys, journal, wood craft, or any other craft you are good at. Please note this is not to be a purely digital project of an ATC. Please put time and talent into your project.

Be sure to list any dogs that are important to you on your profile to inspire your partner although the item does not have to be profile based. You are welcome to start creating now.

This is a USA only swap, but if there is enough interest, you can either steal this for INT or i would be happy to host an INT version.
