We started a little home business during these past months while sheltering at home. It is called Engraved Expressions and we use a laser engraver to etch wood, slate and acrylic creations.

To mark this extraordinary year and help those families struggling to keep a decent roof over their heads, we are engraving up to 275 holiday ornaments in the next month to support Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity. We are donating all the time and materials - all we ask is that you make a minimum donation of $10 for each ornament. If you are able to be even more generous, we would be ever so grateful. We hope to raise at least $2,750 for Chicagoland Habitat to help make the cost of homes affordable for more families this year.

Ornament pickup will begin November 27 and end on December 31. The pickup location is:

Klein Creek Golf Club (TENT) 1N333 Pleasant Hill Rd, Winfield, IL 60190 630.690.0101 | Winter Hours: 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.

If this location is inconvenient for you, we will make other arrangements to be certain you receive your ornament - another pickup location, drop off or mailed to you. To make alternate arrangements, please email us at engravedexpressions@yahoo.com.

If you would like to see what else Engraved Expressions has been creating, you can visit our space at Prestige Creative Markets in Bartlett, IL, visit us on instagram @engraved_expressions, or contact us at engravedexpressions@yahoo.com.

Thank you so much for your kindness - and happy holidays to you and yours!
