Chief

It is amazing to me that sometimes we set out on one journey, headed in a certain direction, and then you wake up one day and realize that you might need to take a few steps back. Well, this is where I am at today.

We have decided to go ahead and put Chief up for sale. Chief was listed on Craigslist about a week ago, but now will be up for sale on Ebay on Monday. Unfortunately we were unable to work on Chief like we had planned. Between work, school, and all three children's activities, well he has felt a little left out. He needs a home where he can get the TLC that he really deserves.

If anyone is interested in Chief, before he goes on EBay, please feel free to email me at gypsychix@att.net.

Congratulations on the drawing! It was completed on 31 May 2009 at 22:24:46 UTC.

THANK YOU!

Hi all, I just wanted to send a great big THANK YOU to all of you who have given donations and to those who have bought raffle tickets. So far we have raised $875.

To quote Ms. Debbie “Woo Hoo!!! “

Lets keep it coming, if you all would help get the word out to other message boards and blogs, I would be very grateful. We only have 26 more days left, and tons of fabulous prizes to raffle off.
Also, Jenn has a beautiful post about sweet Bella & their weekend. Please be sure to stop bye and say hello.

Bucks For Bella

Ladies and gentlemen, rev up your engines and let the buying begin, raffle ticket buying that is. The goal of this raffle is to raise money for Bella Marie's medical expenses. Ms. Bella came into this world on March 12, 2009 and made her introduction to her kinfolk and blog family. Since then, she has been at the hospital growing by leaps and bounds. We want this raffle to reflect a portion of our love for Bella and her family.Here is how you can help. Check out the goodies and buy as many raffle tickets as you like. Raffle tickets will be on sale today through May 30th. Remember, the more tickets you buy the better your chances are of winning. The tickets can be bought off the Junk Sistas blog and payment must be received before your name is thrown into the hat. Then, after June 1st, the winning raffle tickets will be drawn by Random.org and matched to the prize associated with the number drawn. The winners will be posted on Junk Sistas.
All proceeds will go to Ms. Bella’s family for her medical expenses. If you win an item, the person donating the item will be given your contact information, and will ship the item directly to you.Thank you for all your help and support.
