Donation deadline

Just an FYI for those of us that have not mailed out donations yet. I received this e-mail from Jean this morning.

Good morning Christina:

We accept donations right up to the few days before, but it's beneficial to have a week or two for publicity purposes.  We number each item, photograph each one, set a minimum bid, and that helps show it to more bidders.  There are less than 100 who actually come to the event.

Thanks so much for supporting our BCRF efforts each year.  This year the evening is being dedicated to the memory of Cathey.  She underscores the reason why we do this.  It is just wrong that a 42-year-old woman with an 18-month-old son has dyed from this disease.

 

Thanks again.

Jean

A Celebration of Life

My Big Toe Designs

No cross stitching involved… :o(

Still they are sweet, lovely cinnamy smelling smalls made with love…

Do you think Jean will accept these in the auction? I've asked, but have had no reply yet.

Couldn't wait to post this, to see what you think.

Hugs to all!

New Information - PLEASE READ!

Hi everyone!  I know it's been ages since I've posted to this Blog but by now you all know why I've been somewhat absent.  I'm still keeping this Blog open; hoping that maybe someday I will get back to it :o)

In the meantime I know some of you have continued to donate items to the auction at the Attic and I can't tell you how much that is appreciated on my end.  You are the best!

I have some updates that you should know about though.  Number one, the auction at the Attic this year will be held from 6-8pm on November 23, 2013.  Secondly, the Attic has moved and they have a new mailing address -

109-1837 West Guadalupe Road

Mesa AZ 85202

So if you are going to mail anything in this year, please make note of their new address so your donation does not go astray.

Finally, someone emailed me about taking over the Blog and for the life of me, I cannot remember who it was :o(  I bought a new computer and with all the changeover, I cannot find the email.  If you are that person, please email me and we'll get it all sorted out :o) Thanks!

My donations

Excuse my crazy post, I haven't worked on blogger in a couple of year. :) The first is Stitchy Kitty and is the companion to the penguin I donated last time. 

 These two are from JBW. I left off the wording on the bottom of the angel. The stocking I donated on behalf of our dear friend Pumpkin, since she was unable to donate this year.

 

 

 Last is this tote bag.  Thanks for looking. :)

Hi everyone! :)
It's my third year here on PPCBF, for the first two contributions I always made something special for the auction but this time... I'm running out of time! I started too late this year =/

I have an ornament that I made a couple of months ago, for no reason, just for fun! I tried a new way to finish, with felt and blanket stitch. In the end I really like it, I think it looks cute =)
I decided to save it for Christmas...

Snowman, Freebie by Beapog

...Guess who just won a plane ticket? ;) hehehehehe
It wasn't an ornament specially made for the auction but I hope my snowman will do a good job!! :)

Pennie Pockets

Thanks to Cathey, who renewed my blogging privileges... ;o)... I can show you what I am sending off to the 2012 Silent Auction for Breast Cancer Research! Three pennie pockets, based on a freebie design from the Moda Bakeshop. Not a lot of cross stitching in my life this year, but these pennie pockets do have a bit of a stitchy theme to them thanks to the Moda fabric (Chelsea Boutique it was, I think).
May all of our entries raise lots and lots of money for a wonderful cause!!
