Tote Bag Up for Charity Auction

Hey guys! I feel like I've been living in a time warp this summer. I've been SO busy around here with family life, and having lazy summer days, blogging's taken a backseat to the daily routine. My 12 year old stepdaughter is visiting us for the summer, and it's been so much fun having an older kid around to help and have new conversations with. Plus my husband was on vacation last week, so we all enjoyed not being tied to a clock for a week. But he's back on the daily grind, and so are we. So I thought I'd try to take back the early morning hours for blogging, before I surrender myself to the kiddos.

My favorite food blogger and baker Natalie, of Bake and Destroy is on a new mission. She is determined to help those with cancer by any means necessary - through online auctions, bake sales, you name it. If you don't already read Natalie's blog, you're really missing out. She posts the most mouth watering cupcake recipes, she's hilarious, literally cute as a button, and she loves helping people who need it the most. This is really only a very small summary of Nat's amazing talents and accomplishments.

Natalie started an online auction appropriately called, "Bake and Destroy Cancer." When I heard about this, I wanted to help too, so I offered one of my embroidered items, and she happily accepted. So up for grabs in the Bake and Destroy Cancer auction is the Floral Fantasy tote bag I embroidered a while back!




I would L-O-V-E it if you would take the time to place a bid and help us donate money to Grind for Life. It's a win-win situation, really. You get a gorgeous new tote bag AND you're hard earned money is going to a great cause. 100% of the final sale price will support Grind for Life.

If you're on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, or you want to post about this auction on your blog, that would be great. Be sure to bookmark Natalie's eBay account, as she will be listing more items periodically.

Spread the word and fight the fight!

  4. Hi Amy
    this is fantastic! What a lovely bag - far too nice to take out, I'd just keep something nice in it and hang it in a prominent position to admire! :D
    Hope you raise a lot of money with it.

  5. I just saw this on the sublime stitching blog, it is so beautiful! And the stitching for her hair is awesome! Great job;) And I know what you mean about having an older kid around, whenever my nephew comes over it's such a good time, we hate it when he leaves, especially me because I make him talk to me the whole time, you know, semi-grown up conversation in the day time!
