Hey Janetha! Not sure the best way to contact you right now because of the auction but I noticed that my donation is not on the list with the updated prices (on the front page of your blog). Is this a mistake or for a reason? Thanks :D Everything looks great and I am pleased to help!!!

Janetha – this is AMAZING; read about it through Caitlin…and she’s right, the blogging community is amazing and so giving!

I’m writing to ask if you now how I could include my items in a fundraising event such as this – I don’t make food (yeah, you can thank me now for that one – HA); but I make handmade greeting cards. You can see a variety of projects at whimsicalcreations.blogspot.com.

If you have any insight; I’d love to participate to help someone in need – thanks!

Janetha July 25, 2011 at 11:25 pm

Michele, please send me an email. I have an idea!

Ashley @ Will Run for Food July 25, 2011 at 10:29 pm
