Relay for Life...Give Away

This year my fundraising efforts for American Cancer Society, Relay for Life have been going pretty slow.  Poorly, I might add.  I am down to my last few days...about 2 weeks.  So, hopefully I can encourage you to donate to my page by sweetening the pot.  Here's what I'm offering:

1. For everyone who contributes at least $20 you get the chance of winning one of my handcrafted dolls.  I'll pay the postage and will post the winner here.  You get to select the doll of your choice.  (I may even give away both of these dolls.  The dolls are pictured below.  They're not professional pics but I think they are a fair representation.
2. For everyone who contributes at least $10 you get a chance to win a package of handcrafted cards.  10 cards with envelopes and I'll pay the postage.  Original photographs and artwork...samples below.

So, all you have to do is go to my Relay for Life page and make a contribution to the American Cancer Society.  On or about June 12th, I will post a picture from the Relay as well as the winners.  I'll send out your "rewards" the following week.  

I hope this encourages you to help me out.  I'd like to reach my goal of $750.  Thanks, folks.

Doll #1...Moon Child

Doll #2...Mermaid  (I'll post better pics of doll #2 My Mermaid in a couple of days when I get a chance to take some pics of her.)

Cards will include the following images:

WHAT A BLAST

I don't know about anyone else but the past month or so has been a real blast for me. I have had the opportunity to meet the most gifted, talented and generous people. I explored the beaches of Hawaii (thank you Concetta @ Cetta Cheese Chatter), and delved into the wonderful world of Anime (thanks to Ichigo Fields Forever). My palate has been introduced to the wonders of extraordinarily delicious recipes like the spicy Thai Fish Broth over at An Aerial Armadillo, and a fattening Lamington sponge cake dipped in chocolate and coconut (Like the Paisley girl, I'm no fan of sponge cake. But by substituting, a slice of pound cake... OMG!!!) And my next challenge is going be tatting, thanks to the Tatting Chick.

Tomorrow I will announce the winners of my blog giveaways. Since it is Thursday, I will be visiting my grandsons and my daughters (we have a standing date). But on Friday I plan to share with you some more of the highlights from my experiences on the gypsy caravan. There were many 3am excursions. It was an experience that I will not soon forget. Cyber space and virtual travel can be exhausting. I think that I visited almost all of the 900+ blogs. And, those that I missed I will be visiting within the next week or so. Kudos to you Lisa. A tip of the hat, and my open heart goes out to you~

TIMES UP FOLKS

ONE WORLD, ONE HEART BLOG EVENT

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME

I missed this last year, but was determined to get in on time this year. it's the "One World One Heart" great blog event. It's the third year that Lisa "Oceandreamer" Swifka has hosted this event. For more information about it head on over to this site: One World One Heart. You'll find out about this wonderful event and it will also point you to the 400 plus bloggers who are participating.

As a part of this event each of the bloggers participating is offering a gift to at least one person selected from those who leave a comment on their blogs. As for me, I am offering one gift for every 100 comments left on this site. There are others who are awarding multiples also. I will use a random number generator to select the individuals.

It's a great way to meet new folks and see the great blogs out there.

So, what am I giving away? DOLLS!! What else? These are some that I am working on now. I will pot the give away dolls later on this week. The drawing will be on February 12th. at midnight (Eastern), so I'm cutting off entries at midnight February 11th

So, leave a comment, and make sure you leave contact info. You can enter even if you don't have a blog. Just leave an email address. Now get over there to Lisa's site so you can visit some other sites!

I really am glad that you chose to visit my blog. I hope that you will come back again soon!
