Usborne Book Fundraiser

Hey Everyone!


It's Monday, so that means a new fundraiser!!!




Friend and Blog Reader, Kristin, sells Usborne Books and is hosting an online fundraiser for Anton. 15% goes to Anton, but if sales reach $600, it will go up to 17%. Usborne sells high quality, beautifully illustrated, award winning children's books, ranging from infancy to middle school. They market 1,300 titles through a combination of home sales, book fairs, fundraisers, and school and library sales. 




Here are the details.


Running: now through March 18th.


Percent of Sales: 15%; if sales reach $600, it goes up to 17%


Where: Click HERE.


Details: All books are fair game! Just make sure you shop through the above link, and you should be all set.


EXTRA: If anyone books a party (online or in the Winston area) before the end of March by contacting Kristin at redfieldadopt (at) yahoo (dot) com, she will donate a percentage of YOUR party as well.






If you have any questions, feel free to email me at momtobabyjonut (at) gmail (dot) com. 


Happy Shopping!


Note from Kristin: As you are shopping, don't forget to check out the Internet-Only Specials. Right now they have a $40 hardback Encyclopedia of World History for only $20. With every $40 purchase you can select three additional bargains as Customer Specials. Don't miss the See inside Your Body book.

If you need suggestions, I will be glad to help you shop. Books make great Easter gifts, end of the year teacher gifts, and preschool graduation gifts, just to name a few things you may need to buy for!

I use Avon, and I really like their Smooth Minerals Make-up, so much that I got it for my best friend for her birthday and for my sister for Christmas. I also like their facial cleansing products, seeing as how I'm 29 and STILL dealing with acne. I don't want to talk about it. :)

baby girl clothes up for grabs!

I'm so excited seeing the bids coming in for the gloves. More fun items coming up in March! Fun times!


A sweet blog reader, Mandy, emailed saying that she was auctioning off her daughter's brand name (Gymboree, Baby Gap, Children's Place etc) baby girl clothes on her Facebook Page. I looked at them. They are so adorable, in really good shape, and are a bargain!!! Best of all, ALL PROCEEDS GO TO ANTON. She's even paying for shipping herself, so every single cent from the clothes can go to sweet Anton.


If you are interested, you can find all the instructions and links HERE. The Facebook Page is HERE but you'll want to go to the other post first to see how it works.


I'm a little late getting this post up (have I mentioned we're knee high in puke and respiratory issues over here?), so some stuff is already gone, but there's still some really cute stuff left!


All of this for Anton is blowing my mind. I seriously write up these posts, my heart pounding, giddy at what God is doing through all of you for this sweet orphan across the world. GOD IS GOOD, Friends.

Fingerless Gloves Up For Bid NOW

Hey, guess what? These cute fingerless gloves are UP FOR BID right now! 



Lauren, from Knitting at Lunch, knitted (knit?) these cute gloves to donate for auction, with all money going to Sweet Anton.

This pair of fingerless gloves was handknit in a smoke free, pet free home. Made of 100% cream and gray flecked wool, these are NOT scratchy, but will afford your hands all the natural insulating and warming properties of the fiber. Will stretch to fit most women's hand sizes.
Care instructions: hand wash, lay flat to dry

 


So here's how this will work. Just bid in the comments. The highest bid will be at the bottom, so scroll to the BOTTOM of the comments to place your bid. I will close comments at 9:00 PM on SUNDAY. Whoever is the winning bidder at 9pm on Sunday wins. Once I officially "announce" the winner, you will pay through the chip-in button on the right sidebar. Once I've confirmed your donation, I'll email you and we'll ship the gloves out! How does that sound?


Valued at $20.


Bidding will start at $7. Go!

Pampered Chef Fundraiser

My friend and neighbor Barbara just recently started selling Pampered Chef and as part of her debut, she and her team leader, Julie, are hosting a fundraiser for Anton! I love me some Pampered Chef. I hope you can get some high-quality, guaranteed kitchen goodies (for yourself, friends, and/or family) and help Anton in the process.


 


Running: February 17 (Today) - February 25

Where: Click HERE

Percent of Sales: 10%, but if orders reach $600, it goes up to 15% plus Barbara will add her 10% commission, totaling 25% donated.

Details: Anything purchased through the above link will help Anton!

Shipping Instructions: Unless you live near me and know my address, please choose "Ship Direct" instead of "Ship to Event." But if you want to ship to me, I'll be glad to keep and use your pretty new trinkets. Thank you. :)

Guest Special: With a purchase of $60 or more, choose one Kitchen Essential FREE. Links to those are HERE, and include the Small Batter Bowl, the Classic Scraper, or the Micro Scraper. 





(If you've ordered already, and didn't choose a free one - cause I didn't have this up and I'm sorry, sad face - you can email Barbara at chickchef (at) msn (dot) com. The orders won't be placed until the fundraiser ends on the 25th, so you can still get your free product!)


Have Fun and please, if you know anyone who loves Pampered Chef (or a certain sweet little baby with eyes that melt your heart into a puddle of butter), help spread the word!

thank you!

I've created links on the right hand sidebar for each of Anton's fundraising opportunities. I don't want you to feel like they're getting lost as they move down the page. Please don't forget about the Thirty-One Fundraiser. All the information on how to order is in that post. Just click on the link in my right sidebar to get the details. Also, for the next few weeks, I'll post a new fundraising campaign each Monday and Thursday (but not today since we just started the 31 one). We have some great things lined up. And I'll continue to post my Ebay listings as I find the time to get them listed. I don't know about you guys but between all the great opportunities here and Jonah's EB Auction coming up on the 24th, I may just get my Christmas shopping done way early. I'm all about buying gifts where at least part of the money goes to charity. Katie is running a giveaway over on the Auction Site so don't miss out on that. All the monies from the auction will go to DebRA.

Thanks for joining me here. We're making great strides. Please spread the word as the shopping opportunities arise. It's win-win for everyone!

it's GO time!

Thanks to my brother for the beautiful header. Can you even believe his eyes (Anton's, not Peyton's)? How can you not fall in love with this kid? Some exciting things are on the horizon as far as fundraising goes, and I'll hopefully be able to post about that tomorrow. I'll give you a hint, it comes after Thirty. :)

Thanks for joining me here, friends. LET'S DO THIS!
