More NieNie Auctions!

The bidding is not over yet! Don't forget to bid on the gorgeous pieced-quilt I have up for auction (see post below). Click on the pictures to see the close-up details! It's totally worth the money - plus, how can you go wrong when it's all to help someone out?

Here are a couple of other AWESOME auctions I have seen that are not getting many bids:

A set of handmade cards and some beautiful jewelry

Orem Owlz tickets! (for those in Utah County/SLC area)


DesignMom said something we should all keep in mind:

I'm hoping people are in a public radio mindset. Like when you hear the NPR commentators say: "pledge your membership of only $75.00 and we'll send you this canvas tote bag with our logo on it." You know the tote bag is worth maybe $5. But it's not about that. You're looking for a way to be generous and supportive. And the tote bag is just a bonus.


Bid, bid, bid! Let's get spendy!!

If you would like to bid on this twin-sized, pieced quilt which was generously donated by my Aunt Eva and Uncle Barry (THANK YOU!) please leave a comment with your bid amount (for example: I bid $200).

Bids should be in whole dollar amounts. Please read any previous comments to be sure your bid is at least $1 higher than the highest bid. Also make sure your comment includes some way I can contact you at the auction's end.

This auction will run until Saturday (August 30th) at midnight, MST. The winning bidder will send payment to Stephanie and Christian Nielson's Recovery Fund via Paypal (see button below) and then send me a copy of the "payment confirmed" email from Paypal. All shipping costs will be covered by me - or if you are local to Utah Valley, pickup (or drop off) will be arranged.

Any other questions? Leave a comment and I'll answer it for everyone.

It's For NieNie

My friend Courtney's sister, Stephanie and brother-in-law, Christian were in a private plane crash in Arizona. They survived but are suffering serious burns and are in for months of recovery, which will be very expensive. So, many people who have come to know and love this family have decided to come together for "NieNie Day" (thanks to Design Mom) to raise funds and share memories of their friend.

Tomorrow is the big day and I will be auctioning off this beautiful twin-sized quilt which was generously donated by Aunt Eva and Uncle Barry. (THANK YOU!!)

If you want to bid, come back tomorrow! The auction will last until Saturday (August 30th) at midnight, MST.

If you don't want to bid, but still want to donate to the Stephanie and Christian Nielson recovery fund, please do so by clicking below:

Thanks! I hope to have you back tomorrow!
