Thanks for taking the time to view our "Adoption Auction." We have been blessed by wonderful friends (& strangers even!) who have donated the following items for auction.
As you probably know, we are attempting to adopt siblings (orphans) from Honduras. It is a lengthy, difficult, and expensive process (over $35,000). But we know it will be well worth it!
That being said, this Auction is one of our first big fundraising efforts. Every single cent raised on this Auction will be used for our Adoption expenses.
*** Okay, so here's how it's going to work:
- This is a 3 day Auction. It will run from 9:00 pm Thursday, March 1st - 9:00 pm Sunday, March 4th. (Eastern time)
- There are 14 different blog entries- one for each of the items up for auction. They are in no particular order! (The exception to this is that there are several canvases and canvas sets, created by me, listed in #14) Use the "Blog Archive" on the right side of the blog to see ALL 14 items/posts!
- In each post, for each item, I have listed details, business/donor information, as well as value/worth of each item, the starting bid, and the bid increments.
- To place a bid, post a comment under the item for which you are bidding. Bid like this:
"John Doe (Your name) - $ amount/bid"
- If someone bids higher than you, you are welcome to bid again. Bid as many times on one item as you want! (Make sure to follow bid increment guidelines listed though). And for that matter, you can bid on as many items as you want...no limitations!
- If you have any questions, you can post that in the comment section as well.
- At exactly 9:00 pm Eastern time on Sunday, March 4th, the bids will stop. (Any posted after that will not count). I will then contact the "winning bidder" of each item. It is at that time, I will let you know that you won & discuss details about getting the item to you. And it is also at that time that you can make the payment via PayPal on our blog page.
- Even if you don't bid on an item yourself, you can still help! Would you please take a one minute and link our blog to your facebook or twitter account, send a quick email to a few friends, etc. to let them know about our Adoption Auction?
Thank you to everyone who has helped us get this together. We appreciate you!!! You have played a role in bringing our babies home.
Let the countdown begin.... 34 minutes...
Thank you & Happy Bidding!
~ 6 in Love ~
