3-Day Raffle!!!!!

[MiMi_of_4]

Sassy will be walking in the 3-Day again this year! Once more, we'll be raffling off handmade items donated by our members, as well as gift certificates, and a few surprises to help raise money to support her walk.

I've made a list of those who volunteered to make and/or donate something in the other thread, but if your circumstances have changed and you feel you are unable to contribute at this time, we will be holding a second raffle in a couple of months. Please contact me if you volunteered, but won't be able to donate for this raffle.

If you would still like to contribute something for this raffle, it's not too late and additional donations would be appreciated! Just let me know by PM, or post on this thread. We also will accept donations from family members or friends!

Anonymous donations are also welcome and your contribution will be kept private.


PrincessEmilysMom will be running the actual raffle with computer generated raffle numbers. Prizes will be awarded according to the order in which the winning numbers are selected by computer.

Raffle tickets will be $1/ticket or $5/6 tickets and will be available for purchase from PrincessEmilysMom or me beginning February 28. Anyone is welcome to purchase tickets, so let your friends and families know. :)



IMPORTANT DATES

On or before Thursday, February 26, I'd like to have a picture (or pictures) to post on the board. If you wish to post it yourself on this thread, please feel free to do so. If you'd like for me to post it, please let me know and I'll PM you my email address.

Prizes should be ready to ship: March 14 and no later than March 17

I've also set up a Three-Day Raffle paypal account, so if you'd rather send your donation there, please contact me by PM. This paypal is in no way associated with my private bank account; it will be used strictly for raffle proceeds and donations.

If you have ANY questions, please don't hesistate to contact me. If I don't know the answer, I'll find out and get back to you.

[MiMi_of_4]

My donations for the raffle will all be made in honor of my sister, Leslie Williams, who is a breast cancer survivor. Here's a picture of her celebrating life!

The bottom has a flap so the hooks don't slip out. The Tunisian stitch provides horizontal loops that you can slip your hooks into however you want. The loops can hold up N size or larger hooks (size N is largest we had). We were able to slip in over 15 hooks of various sizes:

[MiMi_of_4]

Thanks, HIJK! I can't wait to see them :)

[HammBugga]

Mimi- I had an issue with my quilt :( But instead I would like to donate a custom made pouch sling. I can't post pics as it will be made after I get the persons measurements but we can discuss fabric colors upon winning.

[MiMi_of_4]

Awww, Hamm, I'm sorry you had problems with your quilt, but a custom made pouch sling is a wonderful prize. Thank you so much!

[HammBugga]

Yeah I am bummed about it.

[lilsea]

When do you need the prizes by? I can donate an infant size marisol knit top:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v185/all4my5/marisol4.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v185/all4my5/marisol1.jpg

The trim would be pink and the top would be green (the same colors in the photo). Let me know, either contact me on facebook or what not as I don't have much time on the computer.

[lilsea]

Oh, this top looks awkward on my toddlerkin because it's a size 5/6 on a mannequin meant for toddler size. This is what it looks like on Alaina:

Oh and the yarn is Debbie Bliss Cashmerino, so it should do well in an auction.

[Sadalsuud]

I'll be getting pictures up of my item tomorrow. Just to let you know I hadn't forgotten.

I am makking my donations in the name of the Breast Center that I use to work at. To all the women I would see daily who were fighting for a cure. For all the times I was in the room for many procedures, including (but not limited to) localizations, biopsies and just plan US and mammos. Here is to everyone that has had or knows anyone that has or has had breast cancer. Thank you Sassy for walking. You are a true inspiration.

[MiMi_of_4]

I had my yearly mammogram at our local Breast Center yesterday morning :)

[MiMi_of_4]

Absolutely beautiful! And the presentation, as well ~ thanks!

[Sadalsuud]

Well, it is for breast cancer, so I thought it would be appropriate to display it looking like the ribbon. :D

http://www.kerrysherbals.com/herbalsalves.shtml

Up for grabs is the ever popular Miracle Salve Plus that's good for so many skin related things. The offer is for the large 6 oz size. It's handmade and in my experience has been wonderful for several things from itchy mystery rashes to after-shaving tenderness. I love this stuff and look forward to sharing it. It will be shipped straight to the recipient from where it originates.

From the website:
Miracle Salve Plus - All the goodness of Miracle Salve, plus the addition of Oregon Grape Root and essential oils of tea tree and thyme, which are known for their bacteria, Candida, and fungus-fighting properties. Can be applied to thrushy nipples after feedings, yeast-related diaper rashes, jock itch, athlete's foot, ringworm, or other topical infections.

[MiMi_of_4]

Awesome prize, dalurker! Thanks for donating it :)

[QuiltyConscience]

I am donating a yellow teaset with 4 cupcakes. I can't get my pics to load at the moment, but it will look like one of theses, only pastel yellow.


http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/mamacatelliott/100_3640.jpg

[HIJKMommy]

I must have that tea set. You know I have a new niece that would love it.

[MiMi_of_4]

Moonbound ~ WOW! And thank you so much!

Quilty ~ YES!!! I MUST have that tea set for my youngest granddaughter! Thank you!!!

[TaraBear]

Oh Kerry's salve is a must have, oh and the wine glasses. Woohoo!

[nursingmotherof2]

all of you that knit do really good i only now how to do a scarf lol.

[MiMi_of_4]

I know ~ the knitted items are AWESOME, aren't they?

[Elffriend]

The hats I made are super easy and done on circular knitting looms. It's so easy that last year my 10 yr old son made one to donate to Hats for the Homeless. ANYBODY could make one of those hats if they had a loom.

The scarf I made is crocheted. I'm much better at crocheting than knitting.

[Nipple_nectar]

I'm sorry, I am so behind, will you forgive me? I want to donate two items to two different winners:

http://s64.photobucket.com/albums/h199/dovemeetsarcher/Haley.jpg

Pictured together are an alphabet necklace and a nursing necklace. They can be auctioned separately. Winner of the nursing necklace can request to have it personalized and request any particular animal beads and/or colors. Winner of the alphabet bead~ all necklaces vary in colors and shapes, you can request a certain bead/animal, if you like:)

[MiMi_of_4]

YAY!! Those are too cute ~ I love both of them!! Maggie could use a nursing necklace and Liam would ADORE an alphabet one, so maybe I'll have lots of winning numbers...lol...

[haleysmom]

Hey! Those are pics of Haley's necklaces!! :p

That reminds me... I need to get my tickets too!

[Nipple_nectar]

Hey! Those are pics of Haley's necklaces!! :p

That reminds me... I need to get my tickets too!

Yes, they are :::smooches:::

[PrincessEmilysMommy]

Raffle Tickets are still for sale! So close to the $50 prize!

[PrincessEmilysMommy]

These prizes are awesome! I can't wait to see who gets what!
