Sheila, you are an angel to do this, I saw this on Laura's blog too. Maybe all of us can donate a little to this cause.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the sweet comments on my window treatment. I'm pretty proud of it since I really cannot sew. You obviously CAN! xoxo

Hi Sheila, Beverly and I were just checking to see who won the bid. I love the runner but my table is 9 feet long and very narrow so I didn't keep bidding. I just wanted to start the bidding. I will say I would have been thrilled to win it but I am very happy the bid went so high for the cause.
ReplyDeleteYOU are the Sweetie my dear friend.
Love you, Jeanne
I am just sick...sick...sick that I missed bidding on your pretty runner. I have had a FULL weekend and not on the computer much.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got a good price.
Very sweet of you to do this.
xo bj
OH, and I am lovin' your groovy, cool new room with the round window. Love it without a think on it.
Oh, sorry, I missed all of this. It is a gorgeous runner created with your iddy biddy pretty fingers.
ReplyDeleteI'll just go make a donation.
Hugs of love, Marydon
