The Auction will begin Thursday, May 6 and end Saturday, May 8 at midnight. Many talented women from all over the country will be contributing handmade crafty and trendy items to be auctioned off. All you have to do is visit the Sending Smiles blog anytime from May 6 to Saturday, May 8 at midnight and see if there is anything you want to bid on. The winners will be contacted within a few days after the auction closes. All proceeds will be given to the Baumgarten family to help with medical bills and treatments. So, here's the information on how to participate:
Send an email to SmilesForStrangers@gmail.com with the following information and AUCTION as the subject:
Title of Item donating
Short description (optional)
Picture of item
Retail Value
Web Address or Link to Etsy Store or Blog Boutique (optional-- if you have a handmade business, this is a great way to receive publicity, someone who bids but doesn't win may want to know where to get one!)
*You will be responsible for postage to send the item to the highest bidder, and they will contact you with their address when the auction ends.
Dates: Emails must be sent by Monday, May 3 at midnight. This gives you 2 weeks to create the item or items.
Thank you to all who choose to participate! Get started on your handmade goodies, and definitely check back May 6th to start shopping! I know this family will appreciate our help. I can't even image the stress and heartache of watching a loved one go through this, and the least we can do is lighten the financial burden a bit!
