We are doing great on the auctions so far, but we could be doing so much better! It would be super amazingly awesome if we could raise more than $500 for Beads of Courage. We are currently sitting at just over $300 raised (based on bid totals). Every single one of the charms up for auction has been handmade, and most are sitting at FAR BELOW their retail value. Erin Prais-Hintz would sell her “chirp-up buttercup” charm for $18 and the current bid is $4.25…
Now for the eye candy. Each photo is linked to its auction.
First up…I FINALLY got photos of my auction charms. I forgot to take the pics when I did the rest of them, and by the time I got through listing 54 charms, I didn’t have the energy to do more. The last 2 days have been one adventure after another…like 4 brand new tires for my car yesterday when I didn’t realize I needed new tires…
So here’s what I contributed to the auction:
