THINK PINK AUCTIONS

Here are some of the cool donations from the THINK PINK CHARMS EXCHANGE.

There are a few more not yet made into a finished piece, but I will be working on that throughout the month.

I will be posting them one at a time on Ebay!

Payment will be requested in the form of a money order written out to the Susan G Komen foundation. S/H will be required separately in either stamps, cash or Paypal payments.

Sorry NO checks.

Credit card payments through Paypal will only be accepted if the winner of the auctions will add in extra money to cover the fees so that the donation amount is not lowered once Paypal takes a cut.

PLEASE spread the news that I will be posting these and more items to Ebay throughout the month.

The seller name is Maximal_Bids

Auctions going up this coming week!

Hi!
OK-I am a bit sleepy but promised that I would post pictures this weekend!
These are some REALLY wonderful gifts for the lucky winner!

Well, before the swap started, I had plans of sewing the charms to a fat wrist cuff.

But due to the fact that so many fabulous charms arrived, and the heaviness of them all together- I just linked them all on a chain. It is a bit heavy, so whomever gets this piece, might like to break up the pieces a bit and spread them out to other bracelets or chains.

There are a couple of charms that were used to make a pin and earrings and a necklace to go along with this bracelet as a prize for Monica Magness's project.
For instance, this is a charm made into a necklace by Pat Winter!

The fabric piece is a choker/bracelet.

The winner of the auction will be able to decide if they prefer it to be a bracelet or a neck piece.

I am going to add crystal rhinestones to the lace.

This will be auctioned off on Ebay, along with other charm jewelry made from the THINK PINK Exchange.

Amber & Erica's Think Pinks-

I am continuing my work on assembling a suite of jewelry for our fundraiser.
Due to the high volume of charms sent in and several of them fit as a focal piece, we have WAY more than I planned for.
So I am making sets of earrings, bracelets and necklaces with all of the charms!

What a great deal of kindness and care that has been shared among us!
Thank you all again!

SO much to add love to!

:o)

Just to clarify- for everyone- in case I was not clear,
Monica will be using one bracelet for the runner up prize for the raffle, and another set of jewelry will be used for auction.
Monica is not doing the auction, I will be doing that part.
Because we had such a GREAT turnout- there are more than enough charms to create beautiful jewelry with.
I will be assembling earrings, a necklace, and perhaps three bracelets in all.
I am still working on the layouts of the jewelry.
ALL of the money earned from the auctions will be sent to the Susan G. Komen foundation.
If you blog about your swap returns, please let me know so that I can link you!

Thanks everyone!
Amber

~*Everything PINK is on it's way!*~

Thank you for hanging in there. All of the parcels, even the ones to Texas are on their way.
I figured that if any of them are undeliverable, they will be held, or come back to me.

Kai is in Houston.

Keep her in your good thoughts.

Everyone, PLEASE contact me to let me know when you get your parcel please?
Thank you!
Amber

Cancer is not invited! Go away!

For those who have been waiting for the swap returns, I am happy to say that my teenage house guest (who was here for ALL but one week this summer) went HOME this week to start school Friday.

My own life and mostly everything else I was working on/doing was put on hold.

I am *finally* mailing the first half of parcels this coming week!

*YAY*

I started this project knowing that cancer runs in the family.

But this past month, someone in my immediate family was hospitalized with a blockage.
This turned out to be a VERY small bit of cancer.
It caused a LOT of damage.
When they went in to rework the area, they quickly discovered that it was the least of the trouble.
There was a lot of it somewhere else!
It's not pretty.
It's not fun.

So many members of my family have died from one form of it or another.
But now someone even closer to me, has it and it just messes with my nerves.

This person does not want it "advertised" and has not even told other family members about it so it is like a big heavy secret.

It's really draining.
And the time and energy that it takes from "normal" life is great.

Please if you would, keep my family in your good thoughts and prayers.
They always help!

Thank you!!!

And please know, as soon as I have the energy for it I WILL update the pictures of the blog.
I have them all ready to post, it just takes a LOT of time!
