The worlds biggest craft group - blogland

$45,000
so far !
yep, that is what has been raised so far by the crafting community, and it isn't over yet.
I know how overwhelming the sheer amount of auctions and raffles can be, and some things have skyrocketed out of my pocket-range I can tell you....but you know, those humble $5 raffle tickets are adding up.
Pop over to Jennie's blog and check out some auction/raffles that you might have a chance at winning (and don't forget Jennie's awesome auction)
If you want your heart to just melt- get on over to Teddybearswednesday and read the two posts about Colin- do you know -he volunteered to be Auctioned ?

Of course there are also hundreds of auctions in the land of facebook as well.

There are so very many people doing wondrous things.
Corrie is making quilts, people are baking and volunteering and helping the animals.
Toni is keeping everything ticking along and keeping everyone up to date with new auctions and that amazing total. Check out the asterisked items to see whats just been added today!

yep, our craft group is pretty amazing.

(and my big exciting news is just waiting....but it is coming I promise)

    Isn't it exciting to just know that so many people will be helped! My contribution is to make some cushions...if you know of anyone who enjoys making them and wants to help out...please send them my way. Monkeymoomoo is making dolls too!

    Wow and double wow! So glad I am not available to cook for anyone. My sewing is so much better. And Colin is a very nice bear to volunteer like that. Cherrie

    Oh please tell me your amazing news is a book! A Ric Rac book would surely be a best seller!
    And doesn't it make you feel all warm and fuzzy to know that so many people contributing a little bit can do such collective good!

    It's lovely to see (and participate) in the raffles. I can't afford to offer hundreds of dollars, and therefore wouldn't win and wouldn't be donating at all. Seems silly that only the top dollar amounts get given.

    I think raffles are much nicer.

    Hope things start to improve in the flood zone - awful, awful thing.

    cheers,
    AJ

    OMG, I have a teddy just like Colin!! Mine is very, very loved and really needs patching, but after 55-60 years, even I need some patching.

    Wonderful amount that you have collected. $45,000 is a huge amount, and the blogland community always comes through.
    Hugs
