In addition to this special auction event, we would like to offer another opportunity to our customers and fans: for everyone who places a bid (whether you win or not), or donates directly during the auction week to Beads of Courage via their website, please leave a comment here after this post and let us know. You will be entered to win some great prizes like gorgeous beads or gift certificates from more of the Fire Diva members, chosen by a random drawing. How cool is that?!
Michelle will be donating a small bead set as a prize for one of our lucky blog readers. Here is a photo that shows an example of her style, although this is not the actual set offered (she's making one especially for this event!). Other prizes include a 10% Off Gift Certificate from Sonya's Art Fire shop and a $15 Gift Certificate from Holly's website.
Please help us spread the word about our first Annual Beads of Courage Auction and don't forget that the bidding will end on Wednesday, June 1st at 6 pm PST. Thank you so much for your support! *Ü*

What a great set of beads for such a worthy cause.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteThe artisans who contributed to this tremendous cause is tremendous. Such a worthy cause and one dear to my heart having lost two very dear friends to such an evil disease. Both of my friends were beaders and used beading to help them through some of their darkest days. Keep up the good work "Divas" and great job!!! TLC4UNU
ReplyDeleteYou DIVAS ROCK!!! What an awesome job you all did on creating an original piece for a GREAT cause!!! I tip my hat to the Diva's!!! I too am raising money for Beads Of Courage!!! My goal is to raise $2,500.00, lose 60 pounds, and Run/Walk the Long Beach 1/2 Marathon!!! It would be great if any of you Rock'n Divas want to follow my journey on Twitter, @kenscouragerun - It would be an honor to have you follow along!!! One last thing, I am spilling the beans on this... I am so excited that I was the high bidder on eBay and I won the bracelet!!! I am going to wear it during my training and then when I run/walk the 1/2 Marathon and when I am done, I am donating the bracelet back to Beads Of Courage and all of the beads will be going to the children in the Beads Of Courage Program, so it was a win win win!!! Keep up all of the hard work and I hope that many blessing come to all of the Divas!!! Thank you for letting me be a part of a good deed!!!
