Pretty Cards made by Me!

Photo #1 Textured Tulip using Chasing Dreams Textures

Photo #2 Purple and Orange ya happy set

Photo #3 Pastel roses on scalloped edging (courtesy of Coffee Shop's Free Downloads)

Photo #4 Same as first photo slightly muted with linen texture

These are perhaps my all time favorite textured flowers I have photographed.  The pastel roses were hidden in another hard drive and I'm so happy I found them.

I have been wanting to make something with them and not just hang them on the wall. So my sweet friend Colleen, from Chasing Dreams Photography gave me this idea.

Why not make cards out of them, so that's exactly what I did and I hope you like them.

The winner will have their choice of one of the four watermarked photos you see.   They will be printed without the watermark of course into a double sided open 5x7 card

THE SET COMES 25 CARDS WITH ENVELOPES

STARTING BID $18.00

AUCTION WILL CLOSE JULY 9TH @ 6PM EST

THANK YOU.

My Pretty Chapeau

I must say I'm a bit partial to this piece because I got such a great smile from my daughter as she modeled it for me.  It's probably one of my favorite pieces I've made but I thought I would auction it off since it is ready to go!

It's made of designer fabrics, tuille, ribbon and one beautiful  hand rolled dupioni fushia pink rosette with a dark teal silk hand made leaf hand sewn to it.  The hair band is wrapped in fushia ribbon to make it more comfortable when worn. 

It's so sweet I had to add a beautiful rhinestone heart because I just HEART it and hope you do too:))

STARTING BID $18.00

Fundraiser for Baby Wu

Photography Prop's and Fun Auction For Baby Wu's Surgery

After weeks of worrying and trying to figure out what to do so that we will have the monies to pay for the expenses associated with our daughter's major surgery this fall, I decided to start with a simple and fun little auction for photographers, using props and accessories as fun items to auction off.


It's been rather therapeutic and fun as I reached out to many friends, etsy sellers and even strangers who were willing to donate items, graciously to help with our daughter's surgery expenses.


So let the bidding begin! Don't forget to leave contact information in your post.


I will list the each item, the seller's link to their store and you will have two weeks to come back or help spread the word.


Let me first say that I am totally grateful for the support of those who donated to this auction and those who've listened to my concerns.  Remember every dollar counts and will go towards the $10,000 out of pocket expenses not associated with her adoption.  The 2 or 3 part surgery will be at John's Hopkin's Medical Center, in Baltimore, MD which is about 2 hours from our home.  Her hospitalization will require a 12 hour procedure to replace her bladder back inside her tiny body, repair her female parts and stabilize and fix her pelvis (which means grafting, internal and external fixation).  It's more than I can take in right now, considering she's just a baby, but I have the utmost faith in a fabulous muli-disciplinary team that will give our child a normal life, and that is what I am going to focus on. 

Second, if anyone would like more information on Bladder Exstrophy please contact the Association for the Bladder Exstrophy Community where there is a wealth of information for patients and families.

Also visit The Division of Pediatric Urology at John's Hopkin's Medical Center 

Please feel free to contact me with questions on Exstrophy as I hope to become an advocate for children with this defect.
Thank you all for coming by to help.
